The Athlete's Edge
At Black Bull CPA, our connection to the world of sports runs deep. Before building a career in finance, our founder, Manny Abad, spent his life on the gridiron.
Growing up in the highly competitive South Florida region, Manny’s drive earned him a Division II football scholarship to the Florida Institute of Technology. Following a decorated collegiate career filled with All-Conference, All-American, & All-Academic honors, he caught the attention of the NFL—earning rookie minicamp invitations from both the Kansas City Chiefs & the Tennessee Titans. Manny’s performance with the Titans earned him a spot through fall camp, bringing him to the doorstep of the final 53-man roster.
When his NFL journey concluded, Manny was offered a contract to play in the Canadian Football League (CFL). Instead, he chose to transition his elite competitive drive into a new arena: high-level accounting & tax strategy.
The same relentless work ethic, discipline, & playbook execution required to compete at the highest level of professional sports are exactly what Manny & the Black Bull CPA team bring to your financial table. We understand the unique trajectory, challenges, & wealth-building opportunities that athletes face—because we’ve been in the locker room.
