Christopher O'Neal, CPA, MBA, isn’t your average accountant. He's a self-proclaimed "recovering financially illiterate" who uncovered a deep passion for numbers, finance, and the revolutionary potential of cryptocurrency.
Chris’s journey began with a business venture where "financial literacy" meant ignoring spreadsheets. After learning the hard way, he developed a love for financial clarity, earning his CPA and MBA in Finance along the way. Recognizing that the future of money is digital, he deepened his expertise with a certificate from MIT Sloan School of Management's Blockchain Technologies program.
A seasoned professional, Chris has worked in tax and audit at a top national firm and served as CFO for multi-million-dollar businesses. Now, he channels his skills into helping entrepreneurs and business owners demystify their finances through The Nealson Group, his Southern Florida-based firm dedicated to making finance accessible—and even enjoyable.
But what truly sets Chris apart is his passion for cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. A true believer in its transformative power, he’s a vocal advocate for integrating digital finance into modern business strategies. Through his writing and speaking, Chris breaks down complex crypto concepts with humor and clarity, empowering readers to navigate this dynamic space with confidence.
When he’s not unraveling the mysteries of blockchain or writing about cash flow strategies, Chris enjoys exploring Southern Florida’s food scene with his family. He’s also a live music enthusiast, often found at local blues bars, reliving his entrepreneurial journey without the financial stress.
