Hello, my name is

Carter Stroup

I am an accounting student with a track record of delivering results as an entrepreneur for over five years, generating thousands of dollars for clients.

About Me

I am a results-driven entrepreneur dedicated to driving business growth through strategic, innovative solutions. I have led numerous teams in delivering successful business and marketing solutions, generating thousands of dollars for clients. My experience in digital marketing, software development, and leadership allows me to tackle complex problems quickly.

I am a college student studying accounting with an anticipated graduation date in the spring of 2028. My goal in studying accounting is to better understand the processes behind successful businesses. After graduating, I plan to obtain a CPA license and work in public accounting or attend law school to become a tax attorney where I will act as a trusted advisor for clients.

Outside of work, I am an avid reader and a student-athlete golfer. From 2020 to 2024, I hosted a podcast called “The Perfect Par” that garnered over 10,000 listens globally. My goal with this podcast was to help as many junior golfers as possible by interviewing subject matter experts in the game of golf.

Years of Business Experience

I started a digital marketing company called Render Results in 2020. Over the years, I had the opportunity to work with more than fifteen clients from a variety of industries, each with unique needs and challenges. Running this business taught me invaluable skills in project management, client relations, and data-driven decision-making. I learned how to balance creativity with strategy, lead diverse teams, and navigate the complexities of digital marketing, all while providing measurable solutions that drive growth. This experience has shaped my approach to business today and helps me bring innovative solutions to every project I tackle.
