  • About me
    Hunter Terpenny, CPA, is the Founder & CEO of Humm Accounting in Fort Collins. Humm is a full accounting department, fractionalized: bookkeeping, controller, and CFO services for owner-operated businesses across Northern Colorado. We focus on the business first — clean, on-time financials and proactive strategy — and then the tax planning that happens inside the business and for its owners follows from that. Our systems are designed by CFO-level experts and run on our own technology platform with heavy automation, so the team spends its time advising, not keying data. Hunter also serves as a fractional CFO and strategic advisor to growing companies.
  • What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
    Most accounting firms are built tax-first: they show up in April, file the return, and mention "oh, we also do bookkeeping" on the way out. Owners end up with slow answers and no real support actually running the business. I built Humm to flip that — business support first, and then tax planning follows. When owners have clean numbers, a plan, and an accountant who shoots straight, they can act decisively and build the business they actually want.

  • Qualifying Questions: What are three questions we can ask clients to help pave the way for a referral? List them here.
    1. Do you get clean financials every month, and are they delivered by the 15th?
    2. Do you plan for taxes before the end of the year, or find out what you owe in April?
    3. Does your accountant bring you proactive strategies — inside the business and for tax — or are you stuck asking questions and waiting three weeks for a response?
  • Unique Selling Proposition
    Your entire accounting department, fractionalized — bookkeeping, controller, and CFO under one roof, designed by CFO-level experts and run on our own technology platform. Business first, then tax: clean financials delivered monthly, proactive strategy inside the business, and tax planning before year-end instead of a surprise in April. Owners get a true partner who shoots straight, not a tax preparer they hear from once a year.
  • Hobbies and interest
    Strength training, hiking, swimming, cold plunges, and time with my family.
