Matt Blackburn, CPA

Matthew Blackburn, CPA, graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BA in English, and from the University of Colorado at Denver with an MS in Accounting (in other words, you can rely on Matt for clear, layman-friendly explanations of the most esoteric tax concepts). Matt’s career has included stints at the global public accounting firm Ernst & Young, as well as US West, Comcast, and the City and County of Denver.

These diverse environments deepened his understanding of best accounting practices for both the private and public sectors. Over the years, Matt discovered that his heart lay in providing personalized service to individuals and small businesses and non-profits. That’s why he started The Sand Creek Company in 2013. A resident and unabashed fan of Denver’s Central Park community, Matt is often found out and about with his wife and daughters, enjoying the neighborhood pools, parks, biking, or walking his dog, a Chihuahua mix named Sugar.

Matt is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
