Hope Blankenship was born in South Carolina. Her family moved to Anchorage, Alaska when she was 5 years old. After high school, she went on to manage several small businesses in the Anchorage area. Hopes parents are both successful small business owners, so it was only natural that in 2007, Hope opened her own bookkeeping and accounting firm. Hope opened her second company, in late 2018 called HB Coaching & Consulting which specializes in operational and financial risk assessment and fraud consulting. In November 2019, Hope completed the testing requirements to become a certified fraud examiner, CFE, through the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners.
Hope has recently been appointed to the National Small Business Association Leadership Council where she looks forward to being a voice to Congress for all small businesses! Hope was also the recipient of the SBA Young Entrepreneur of Mississippi award in 2010.
