My name is Eddy Hood, and I'm the founder of Ignite Spot Accounting! I'm a passionate entrepreneur with a love for accounting and finance.

My journey began at The University of Utah, where I earned my bachelor's degree in accounting. From there, I continued my education and completed my MBA from Weber State University.

Currently, I lead the sales and marketing efforts at Ignite Spot. When I'm not fixing our website or creating ads, you can find me at home in Utah with my amazing wife and four incredible kids.

I also love to spend my free time on my hobbies - woodworking and coding. There's something so rewarding about building furniture from scratch and seeing it come to life. That's the same feeling I get when I'm helping businesses reach their full potential.

In short, I'm passionate about entrepreneurship, and I believe that every business has the potential to succeed with the right tools and guidance. That's why I founded Ignite Spot Accounting - to help businesses ignite their growth and achieve financial success. Let's build something great together!

Antonia Leverton brings over 20 years of accounting experience to the clients she serves. Her path into the profession began when a professor, impressed by her first accounting exam, insisted she make it her major — and she's been hooked on the challenge ever since. She thrives on finding and correcting errors, building better procedures, and solving the problems that keep business owners up at night. After years of watching clients get lost in high-volume firms where accountants juggled hundreds of accounts, she joined Ignite Spot, drawn to its client-first approach and the chance to deliver the attentive, high-value service she believes every business deserves.

Antonia holds a BSBA in Accounting and Finance from Coastal Carolina University. Outside of work, she's a proud mother of three grown daughters — including a gymnast on a full-ride scholarship at Auburn University — and spends her time outdoors with family and her three (very fluffy) Great Pyrenees.
