I'm Rand. I'm 27, and I've been building real businesses since I was 22 — starting with a rental property I bought from savings I'd scraped together working through high school and college. I bought a second the next year. Today I run a nine-listing Airbnb operation as a Superhost, with more than 380 five-star reviews across four years.
Along the way I've been doing the books for my own operation, and I fell in love with the craft of it — the rhythm, the discipline, the quiet satisfaction of clean numbers. I've also seen how badly most small business owners are served by the bookkeepers they hire. I want to build something better.
My mother is my partner on this acquisition. She's the capital partner and my sounding board; I'll be running the day-to-day after closing. We're doing this together because it's the right structure — her experience and judgment, my time and operational focus. Her name is on the LOI. She'll be on our calls with you from the start.
I also hold a full-time engineering role at Google, which is how we're self-funded and not dependent on outside investors or a bank timeline. We don't need to rush. We need to find the right firm and the right seller.
