about me
Lisa Harris
From Life’s Toughest Challenges to Helping Your Business Thrive
I’m Lisa Harris, a CPA, AI Consultant, and Fractional CFO with over 25 years of real-world business experience. But my path here wasn’t always smooth.
In my thirties, I hit a rough patch, both personally and professionally, that forced me to start over with no clear map. That tough time became my turning point. I chose to focus on gaining clarity and building real skills, no matter how hard it was. I went back to school, earned two degrees, became a CPA, and rebuilt my life around purpose and capability.
That experience taught me something powerful: Chaos is costly, but with the right structure and support, you can take control and grow.
Today, I bring that same understanding and empathy to my work with small and mid-sized businesses. As the founder of Absolute Business Solutions, I help business owners simplify their finances, uncover hidden problems, and put smart, scalable systems in place, including AI-powered tools that make life easier.
I’m passionate about making accounting understandable and practical, so you can stop stressing and start leading your business with confidence.
Your Path to Financial Clarity Starts Here.
