About Perrywinkle Accounting
Running a business is hard enough without feeling confused, judged, or overwhelmed by your finances. Our role is to provide structure, insight, and dependable follow-through — without unnecessary noise.
Perrywinkle Accounting provides full-service bookkeeping and cash flow guidance for small business owners who want clarity and confidence in their numbers. Based in Western North Carolina, we work with the hospitality industry, real estate investors (vacation rentals), and service-based businesses throughout the region and in tourist destinations across the United States. Many of our clients operate in seasonal, visitor-driven markets where cash flow timing, expense control, and reliable bookkeeping matter just as much as profitability.
This firm is designed for business owners who value clarity, thoughtful communication, and who don’t want their accounting relationship to feel rushed, performative, or overwhelming.
I’m Tegan, a NC licensed CPA with over a decade of experience in public accounting.
Throughout my career, I have worked with business owners who cared deeply about their businesses and customers, but were making big decisions using incomplete or poorly explained financial information. Too often, bookkeeping was treated as an afterthought instead of the operational tool it should be.
Perrywinkle Accounting was built to change that.
I work best in focused, one-on-one environments where accuracy, education, and consistency matter. My goal is to help business owners understand their numbers well enough to trust them — and to use that information with confidence.
Meet Tegan Shaver, CPA
I am often asked where I came up with the name for my business. Ultimately, it is the biggest “thank you” to my Dad for providing me with a wonderful education and work ethic. In Bermuda (where he is from) it is tradition for friends to pick out a nickname. Growing up, his last name was “Perry” and you can’t go to the beach without seeing hundreds of periwinkle’s attached to the rocks - and thus, his friends chose his nickname!
I am also fascinated by the Fibonacci sequence, which is a pattern found in nature, seen in the spirals of seashells to the arrangement of leaves. Each number in the sequence builds on the one before it, creating a harmonious progression. For me, this natural rhythm is more than just a beautiful pattern—it’s a reminder of how steady growth and balanced steps lead to lasting success.
