Meet Crystal

Crystal Francine is a Certified Public Accountant with a passion for helping individuals and business owners feel more confident about their finances.

With experience spanning personal tax, business accounting, financial planning, and financial management, Crystal believes that understanding your numbers is an important part of making informed decisions for your future.

Her approach is simple: make the numbers easier to understand, provide practical guidance, and help her clients build a stronger financial foundation.

Crystal’s passion for accounting goes beyond preparing tax returns or keeping the books organized. She enjoys helping business owners understand what their financial information is actually telling them and using that information to make better decisions.

Throughout her career, Crystal has worked with businesses at different stages and has seen firsthand how the right financial insight can help a business grow. As a former Director of Finance for a multimillion-dollar company, she used financial data and business insights to help support growth and expansion.

Today, she brings that same strategic perspective to the businesses she works with, helping owners stay organized, understand their finances, plan ahead, and feel confident about their next move.

With a Master's in Accounting from UNC Chapel Hill and her CPA certification through the State of North Carolina, Crystal combines technical accounting knowledge with real-world business experience.

A Special Connection to Pilates

Before expanding her work to serve a broader range of clients, Crystal founded The Pilates CPA, combining her accounting expertise with her longtime passion for fitness and wellness.

With more than 20 years of experience in the fitness industry, along with experience as a Pilates studio owner, independent contractor, and Peak Pilates teacher trainer, Crystal understands the unique financial side of running a Pilates business because she has lived it herself.

Pilates and wellness businesses continue to hold a special place in her work. She loves helping studio owners and instructors understand their numbers, make informed financial decisions, and build businesses that can support the work they are passionate about.
