Doug bought Shoeboxed in 2025 after spending 15 years as a CEO for hire. He's worked at some great companies (and learned a lot from the ones that weren't so great). Now he's building something he actually owns, and doing something he loves - helping small business owners and entreprenuers stop overpaying on taxes and keeping more cash for themselves.
