Vertaccount Co-Founder Bernice Parsons joined a dynamic panel at the Hawaii Business Women Entrepreneurs Conference on May 2, 2025, standing alongside some of Hawai‘i’s most inspiring women leaders.
The panel on scaling beyond Hawai‘i was filled with candid stories and practical wisdom. Bernice’s message struck a chord: “Ignore the clubs that keep you out. Build and find your own community. Be true to yourself, and your tribe will find you.”
It was more than a line, it reflected the heart of Vertaccount’s journey. From growing as a boutique bookkeeping and accounting firm to becoming a trusted partner for businesses across borders, the path has always been about community, authenticity, and courage.
We’re grateful to Hawai‘i Business Magazine and CPB Hawai‘i for creating space for these important conversations, and to the women leaders who continue to redefine what entrepreneurship looks like.
Because at the end of the day, success isn’t just about numbers, it’s about the people and communities we build along the way.
