Skopos was founded by Elli Papadopoulos, a former SBA loan underwriter who spent years helping businesses navigate complex lending processes—often having to say “no” to entrepreneurs simply because their financials weren’t in order. That experience shaped everything we do today.
We bring the perspective of both the lender and the entrepreneur. Whether you're preparing for growth, cleaning up your books, or seeking outside capital, our goal is to help you feel confident and in control. We don’t just organize your numbers—we show you how to use them to make smart decisions, stay resilient, and build a business with purpose.
Our services meet you where you are. And wherever that is, we’ve likely been there before.
We start with what we call the Streamline phase: ensuring your books are accurate, insightful, and built for decision-making. Most clients begin here, especially if they’re transitioning into QuickBooks Online (QBO) or need a serious overhaul.

Once your books are in order, we dive into strategic planning. This is where we help you map out your growth options, analyze your price & costs, build budgets, calculate your break-even, and evaluate scenarios to support confident decision-making. We’re always prioritizing what’s important for you to know, then bring our expertise to the table to help you understand it.
