“I Help People Make Their Numbers Make Sense.”
Phillip Aronoff is an accomplished accounting executive, entrepreneur, business advisor, and financial strategist whose career spans more than four decades of helping organizations strengthen their financial foundations and achieve sustainable growth. Throughout his professional journey, Phillip has built a reputation for transforming financial data into meaningful business intelligence, enabling business owners and executive teams to make informed decisions with confidence. His mission has remained remarkably consistent throughout his career: to provide timely, accurate accounting information that empowers leaders to improve profitability, reduce waste, and create stronger organizations.
With more than 45 years of accounting experience, Phillip has developed an extensive understanding of financial operations across a broad range of industries. Rather than limiting himself to a single market segment, he has embraced an industry-agnostic approach, allowing him to apply proven accounting principles and operational best practices to organizations of varying sizes and business models. His ability to quickly understand complex financial environments and identify opportunities for improvement has made him a trusted advisor to entrepreneurs, privately held companies, healthcare organizations, construction firms, and professional service businesses throughout the United States.
As the founder and owner of By The Numbers Corporate Accounting, Phillip has dedicated himself to helping business owners gain clarity and confidence in their financial operations. Since establishing the company in 2012, he has worked directly with organizations to improve accounting systems, strengthen financial reporting, streamline operational processes, and uncover hidden opportunities to increase profitability. His philosophy is simple yet powerful: when business owners understand their numbers, they make better decisions. That philosophy has become the cornerstone of his consulting practice and has earned him lasting relationships built on trust, integrity, and measurable results.
Phillip’s expertise extends well beyond traditional bookkeeping and financial reporting. Throughout his career, he has implemented accounting systems that reduce costly errors, improved inventory management processes, strengthened accounts payable procedures, resolved payroll tax challenges, enhanced financial controls, and reviewed organizational spending to eliminate unnecessary expenses. His work has generated more than $50 million in documented savings for businesses by identifying inefficiencies, improving financial processes, and helping leadership teams allocate resources more effectively. Whether improving medical office procedures to ensure HIPAA compliance or resolving insurance payment discrepancies, Phillip consistently approaches every challenge with analytical precision and practical business insight.
Before launching his own successful accounting practice, Phillip built valuable experience through leadership positions in accounting, business development, payroll services, healthcare, and construction. His roles with organizations including Mendel and Company Construction, Provident Adult & Senior Health, Miller & Associates CPAs, and Bulldog Payroll provided him with a comprehensive understanding of financial management from both operational and strategic perspectives. These experiences strengthened his ability to bridge the gap between accounting functions and business development, giving him a unique perspective that combines financial expertise with revenue growth and relationship management.
Beyond finance, Phillip has long recognized the importance of communication, networking, and education in business success. Comfortable speaking before audiences, he has participated on business panels, served as an event emcee, and built meaningful professional relationships through networking and community engagement. His experience selling business services and participating in Colorado’s business radio community further expanded his understanding of marketing, relationship building, and client engagement. These experiences have enhanced his ability to explain complex financial concepts in practical language that executives and business owners can easily understand and apply.
Phillip’s leadership extends well beyond the boardroom and balance sheet. Throughout his career, he has remained deeply committed to giving back to his community through nonprofit service focused on helping children and families in need. As a former board member of Dolls for Daughters, he helped support initiatives providing holiday assistance and essential resources to thousands of underserved children. His continued involvement with charitable organizations reflects his belief that successful professionals have a responsibility to strengthen the communities they serve. Whether supporting fundraising efforts, donating resources, or volunteering his time, Phillip brings the same passion for helping people that defines his professional career.
Outside of work, Phillip enjoys golf, hockey, sports, networking, and spending time supporting charitable causes that improve the lives of children and families. He believes that business success should ultimately create opportunities to serve others, and this philosophy influences both his professional relationships and personal life. His entrepreneurial mindset, combined with decades of financial expertise and a genuine commitment to helping others succeed, has established him as a respected advisor whose impact extends well beyond accounting.
Today, Phillip is actively pursuing opportunities to serve on corporate and advisory boards where he can leverage his financial expertise, entrepreneurial experience, and operational knowledge to help organizations navigate growth, improve governance, and strengthen financial performance.
