Mountain Bikers Riding Downhill

Sky Group is a Colorado based firm focused on small business consulting, accounting, and tax solutions.  Reeves founded the business in 2006 after semi-retiring from professional mountain bike racing.  Having been happily self-employed since college, Reeves was passionate to help others realize their dream of business ownership.

​

In the beginning, Reeves worked with athletes that she knew from the racing scene and other outdoor industry workers. The business has grown organically from there.    Today, we are a team of three, all connected through the cycling world.  We work with a variety of different industries, providing full-service business solutions from startup to the day you are ready to sell or move on the next chapter.

​

Sky Group has operated on a virtual platform since day one.  The ability to conduct business online saves valuable time and resources, which we believe is imperative for our small business clients.  In addition, this allows us to work with clients nationwide as well as US taxpayers traveling and working abroad.  Finally, less driving and less paper equals a happier planet!

OUR STORY

GRETCHEN REEVES, CPA

Founder and Principal

Gretchen Reeves hails from Augusta, GA. She attended college at the University of Georgia in Athens and graduated with a BBA in Accounting - Go Dawgs!!

​

During her time at UGA, she discovered mountain biking and life took a different direction. In lieu of immediately pursuing an accounting job, she packed up and moved to Vail, CO to chase a mountain bike racing career. Reeves competed professionally for twenty-five years in both mountain bike and adventure racing. She is a four-time national champion and a former member of the US National Team. She considers the biggest reward to be the overall experience and friendships that were made.

 

During her racing career, Gretchen worked part-time at a CPA firm with a focus on small business tax and accounting. She became a licensed CPA in Colorado in 2004 and started her practice in 2006. She loves helping young businesses get started and assisting clients with decisions to enhance both business and personal financial well-being.

 

In her free time, Gretchen lives for outdoor adventures of almost any kind with her Big Mountain crew, including her boyfriend, Kurt, and Aussie, Heehaw.
