Our story

Having always dreamed of owning her own business, following in her parents and grandparents shoes; Erin spent years working across various fields in customer service, witnessing issues she knew could be improved. In 2003, Black Star Communications, a 24-hour answering service founded by Erin Rudd around her grandparents' kitchen table.

The name Black Star holds special significance. Erin’s grandfather had always called her his “Star,” and she wanted a name that honored both her family and her values. Combining her favorite color and her grandfather’s nickname, Black Star was born—both meaningful and strategically positioned to stand out in any alphabetical list.

Erin sold the answering service in 2005, but her entrepreneurial spirit remained strong. 2 short years later in 2007, in keeping with her original dream Black Star Enterprises was born as a causal bookkeeping business serving just 2 clients.

Driven to make a difference with the mission to provide clients with timely, professional, and affordable services they could rely on Black Star Enterprises grew in both reputation and scope. Over time, a need for a clear identity of services was needed, and the name evolved into Black Star Accounting in 2012 as a full service firm with the support of her husband Bryan.

Today, Black Star Accounting is thriving, with a dedicated team and a growing client base, continuing to provide exceptional accounting services rooted in a commitment to professionalism and personalized care.
