My name is Eddy Hood, and I'm the founder of Ignite Spot Accounting! I'm a passionate entrepreneur with a love for accounting and finance.

My journey began at The University of Utah, where I earned my bachelor's degree in accounting. From there, I continued my education and completed my MBA from Weber State University.

Currently, I lead the sales and marketing efforts at Ignite Spot. When I'm not fixing our website or creating ads, you can find me at home in Utah with my amazing wife and four incredible kids.

I also love to spend my free time on my hobbies - woodworking and coding. There's something so rewarding about building furniture from scratch and seeing it come to life. That's the same feeling I get when I'm helping businesses reach their full potential.

In short, I'm passionate about entrepreneurship, and I believe that every business has the potential to succeed with the right tools and guidance. That's why I founded Ignite Spot Accounting - to help businesses ignite their growth and achieve financial success. Let's build something great together!
