Savvy Rhino Solutions
Charge Ahead With Purpose
About Me
Welcome! I’m Trent Sheats, Founder of Savvy Rhino Solutions, where our mission is to help hard-working business owners take charge of their financial future with confidence and clarity. With over 20 years in financial leadership, I know firsthand that running a business isn’t just about numbers; it’s about building something sustainable and meaningful. That’s where Savvy Rhino comes in.
As a Financial Controller, I’ve managed complex financial operations for businesses across industries like HVAC, manufacturing, staffing, retail, and child care, working with companies ranging from $5 million to over $300 million in revenue. In each role, I learned the importance of resilience and adaptability—traits that have become core to the “Rhino Principle” we apply here. In addition to overseeing accounting, I’ve managed human resources, IT, and e-commerce departments, tackling challenges with the determination and flexibility that every owner-operator needs to succeed. Whether resources were tight or time was short, I found ways to make things work, keeping efficiency at the heart of my approach.
The
Mission
My passion for helping owner-operators started early. I’ve seen talented professionals—whether stylists, technicians, or craftspeople—take the leap into business ownership, only to be overwhelmed by responsibilities beyond their trade. Bookkeeping, payroll, insurance—these aren’t just tasks; they’re barriers that can pull owners away from what they’re truly passionate about. At Savvy Rhino, we believe in helping clients break through these barriers with clear processes and practical solutions that allow them to keep charging forward, focused on growth and success.
Throughout my career, I’ve had to wear many different hats—just like an owner-operator. I’ve never been one for titles; I’m here to help however I can. Sometimes that means handling a quick project, and other times it’s working as a consultant, advisor, or even a coach. At the end of the day, I just want to be your “Accounting Guy”—the one who’s got your back as you navigate the challenges of business ownership.
The Rhino Principle guides us in every project we take on. Just like a rhino, we believe in charging ahead with purpose, overcoming obstacles with persistence and strength. At Savvy Rhino, I’m here to support you in whatever capacity you need, whether it’s a brief call to add some tools to your belt or a full-scale setup of your back-office systems. Our services are designed to scale to your needs, giving you exactly the support you need—no more, no less.
