Marquise Riley started Riley FAA with one purpose in mind: to give business owners the clarity, partnership, and financial confidence they need to grow with peace of mind. He began his career in the assurance practice of a global accounting firm, and quickly learned that what mattered most to him was not just the technical work, but helping real people build and sustain the businesses of their dreams.
​
Financial management can feel overwhelming when you are trying to run a company, support a team, and make the right decisions for the future. Riley FAA was created to transform that experience and offer business owners a place where they feel understood, supported, and equipped with the insights they need to run their business with intention.
​
Today, our practice is built on genuine partnership. We work alongside our clients, helping them simplify their financial operations, improve cash flow, and plan with intention. Our approach is grounded in reliability, thoughtful guidance, and a sincere commitment to each client’s success. At Riley FAA, the goal is simple: to give business owners the clarity and confidence they deserve, so they can focus on doing what they do best, and what they love.

Small businesses make up the backbone of the American economy, representing 99 percent of all enterprises. Yet many owners face real challenges: almost half of new businesses do not make it beyond five years, and a significant number struggle because of management pressures that often stem from unclear financial direction or limited support. At Riley FAA, we exist to change that experience. Every client receives steady guidance, practical structure, and a reliable partner who is invested in their long-term success. Our role is to help business owners feel supported, informed, and equipped to build businesses that last.
