I love making a real impact on the lives and businesses of SME owners. As a business owner myself, I recognize and appreciate what motivates people to go out on their own and what it takes to embrace a non-traditional path. I help clients achieve their goals by being an extraordinary listener and truly caring about their success. I’m a skilled strategist but understand the best outcomes for a client’s business come from decisions we make together.I have enjoyed building and expanding businesses in the past. I started my first CPA firm in 2007 and sold it in 2017 after investing in one of my clients, a pharmacy. While running that company, I spearheaded three acquisitions, built a 10,000 sq. ft. facility from an empty warehouse, and managed a team of 30 at its peak. My personal and professional experiences have taught me the following things about myself:𝐈 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐛𝐨𝐬𝐬.► For 20+ years I tried working for others, but it wasn’t for me.► I’m passionate about serving others – but on my own terms.𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰.► Growth is vital to me, both personally and professionally.► Helping clients create a fine-tuned business machine that can grow is what drives me.𝐈 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬.► Your business is your life and livelihood.
