I've been around & in small businesses since I was a child. I am passionate about small businesses - the customer service, the details, the product selection, the tradeoffs, the recruiting, the marketing, the capital expenses, the compliance - the list goes on.I understand small business owners have to think about, and execute on, hundreds of things every day. Having a plan around your accounting, taxes & growth can alleviate many operational & financial concerns that may arise through a lack of planning.My experience includes being a CEO of a local retail business that grew from one store to five stores. The first store that I took over was losing money and I turned it around into a profitable venture. Through digital marketing, branding, growth strategies and operational excellence, I was able to succeed in the trenches.
