IRS Enrolled Agent Designation (In Progress)
Pursuing advanced IRS credentialing to provide deeper tax strategy and peace of mind for small business owners.
All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
I know what it feels like to carry the weight of a business — payroll, taxes, late nights, and the constant “what’s next?” I’ve been there, and that chaos nearly broke me. It’s also what inspired me to build Pittroe™: a financial partner that helps high achievers turn overwhelm into clarity.
Numbers always came easily to me, but life didn’t. I worked long shifts in a pizza shop, played poker to pay bills, and later spent 13 years in the casino industry — where chaos was the norm. I became the one people leaned on when things felt unmanageable.
In 2020, the pandemic gave me a wake-up call. I didn’t want to watch small business owners stress over money; I wanted to help them. So I pivoted back into accounting and started building Pittroe Business Services on the side.
Like many entrepreneurs, I went all-in too fast and nearly went under. That lesson is why I do this work today: to help others avoid the same pitfalls.
I’ve lived the same struggles you may be facing:
Payroll stress
IRS notices without a plan
Hiring without clear numbers
Long hours with little return
I know what financial chaos feels like. And I know how freeing it is to finally have systems that support peace of mind.
At Pittroe™, it’s people over profits. Always.
That means helping you:
Pay your team properly
Build a business that respects work-life balance
Actually pay yourself
Create something sustainable, not just profitable
I’ve guided small business owners through:
Recovering stronger after IRS audits
Turning debt-ridden sole proprietors into profitable S-Corps
Helping floor refinishers and painters scale with clarity
Giving DIY owners tools to stay in control
The goal is always the same: clarity, confidence, and growth.
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me:
Hanging out with my cat, Pepper — our unofficial office assistant
Spending time with friends and family
Staying active and making space for hobbies
Planning my next trip or discovering a new local spot to unwind
These moments keep me grounded and remind me why balance matters just as much in business as it does in life.
Ever wonder where Pittroe™ (pronounced pit row) came from?
It’s more than a name — it’s a story.
👷♀️ PITTsburgh, PA — currently
🌸 MonROE, MI — hometown
Stephanie combined the names of the two cities where she had her growth — carrying forward the lessons those places taught her: resilience, grit, and the belief that you do what needs to be done.
Even our logo tells a story:
💬 “At Pittroe™, we use real-world knowledge and lived experience to help small business owners thrive — by taking care of the numbers they don’t want to deal with.”
Because the best support doesn’t come from fluff.
It comes from people who’ve lived it.
If you’re ready to move from chaos to clarity, Pittroe™ is the ace up your sleeve.
