Where We Began
Alpha Omega Accounting, LLC began in 1998 with a simple purpose. Small business owners deserved clear guidance, reliable support, and a partner who could help them understand their finances instead of feeling overwhelmed by them. When Cynthia L. Finkenbinder, CPA, founded the firm, she brought with her a deep love of accounting, a talent for explaining complex concepts in plain language, and a commitment to helping people build stronger financial futures.
Cyndi’s path into accounting began long before the firm opened its doors. As a single mom, she needed a career that allowed her to work from home while raising her children. She had also grown up helping in her grandfather’s restaurant and her father’s business, where she learned firsthand how much small business owners carry on their shoulders. Those early experiences shaped her belief that entrepreneurs deserve support, clarity, and someone who understands the realities of running a business.
She began her career in bookkeeping and tax preparation, work that allowed her to support her family while building her expertise. In 2004, she became a Colorado licensed CPA, a milestone that expanded the services she could offer and set the foundation for the firm’s continued growth.
What started as a bookkeeping and multi state tax practice, quickly grew into something more. Cyndi’s early work with clients whose careers took them across state lines gave her a strong foundation in multi-jurisdictional tax preparation. As her client base expanded, so did the firm’s expertise. By the time Alpha Omega Accounting, LLC moved to Northern Colorado, the practice had become a trusted resource for business owners, investors, and entrepreneurs who needed more than basic tax preparation. They needed strategy, clarity, and someone who could help them make sense of the rules that shaped their financial lives.
Growing With Our Clients
As the firm grew, new industries and new challenges emerged. During the early wave of legalized cannabis businesses across the country, and the rise of cryptocurrency investing, Alpha Omega Accounting, LLC stepped in to help both business owners and investors navigate the unique demands of rapidly changing and highly regulated environments. The lessons learned during those years strengthened the systems and expertise that benefit clients today.
The practice continued to evolve as the team expanded. Cyndi’s son, Scott Knock, joined the firm and eventually became co-owner. As a veteran of the United States Army National Guard, Scott brought with him a strong foundation in leadership, structure, and process improvement. His experience helped the firm modernize its internal systems, strengthen its workflows, and build the organized, technology driven approach clients rely on today.
Together, Cyndi and Scott are shaping Alpha Omega Accounting, LLC into a forward thinking, education driven practice that blends traditional accounting values with modern tools and cloud-based systems.
A Modern Firm With Deep Roots
Today, Alpha Omega Accounting, LLC serves clients across Colorado, throughout 38 states, and in several countries. The firm has embraced secure, cloud-based technology, including Xero’s accounting platform and the TaxDome Client Portal, where Cyndi serves as a Xero Local Ambassador. These tools allow the team to work efficiently while giving clients real time access to their financial information.
Through every chapter of the firm’s history, one belief has remained constant. Understanding creates freedom. When clients know what their numbers mean and how to use them, they gain the confidence to make decisions that support their goals, their businesses, and their lives.
