About Sharon Poppell, CPA

Growing up on a dairy farm in Southern Idaho instilled in Sharon a strong work ethic early in life, and her years as an entrepreneur gave her firsthand insight into what it takes to build a successful business. With more than 20 years of experience in public and private accounting, she has led teams as an audit manager across real estate, agriculture, healthcare, and non-profit sectors, handling project management, technical accounting, internal control evaluation, and risk analysis.

Before co-founding Executive Allies, Sharon served as a Revenue Cycle Manager for a publicly traded Idaho company, where she increased value for more than 20 home health and hospice organizations across the Western United States. At Executive Allies, she has worked with clients on financial proformas, cash flow forecasts, cash management, and internal control improvements, with deep expertise in SaaS, construction, and manufacturing. She has provided interim controller and CFO-level services to companies with revenues exceeding $30 million, supporting accounting departments through acquisitions, mergers, and periods of significant change.

At her core, Sharon's passion is teaching and mentoring business leaders to understand the numbers behind their business so they can define their own success.
Outside of work, Sharon is a dedicated wife and mom to three adventurous daughters and two dogs named Bacon and Biggie. She actively serves on the boards of two local non-profits and loves running, reading, backpacking, skiing, and gardening.
