1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000
Tell me about your vision.

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:11,400
Yeah, so my vision is to help small business entrepreneurs make money because I believe when people, good people have access to funds, they can do great things in the world.

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:16,880
And so we want every small business to be successful and have a strong financial foundation.

4
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:18,720
Okay.

5
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,560
So let's talk about that a little more.

6
00:00:24,580 --> 00:00:26,840
Where did this vision exactly come from, Sarah?

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:36,280
So I'm a CPA and when I first started working, I was working preparing tax returns and can see how people spend their money annually.

8
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:48,240
After that, I spent quite a few years in corporate finance and my husband, not my husband at the time, my husband, he started his own practice.

9
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,040
He's an attorney.

10
00:00:49,040 --> 00:01:01,720
So he was wanting to advance and grow his practice and being an accountant, I tried to get in and say, okay, here are things that you could do differently or here's things that I see what you're spending on.

11
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:17,880
And just felt like that was a really gap in the marketplace of maybe someone who's not ready for a full time CFO, but they do need some type of financial help that's beyond a bookkeeper and kind of having that business owner mentality to help kind of fill that gap.

12
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:26,400
And so we spent a lot of our time educating other types of professionals more around their accounting and finance so that they can make good business decisions.

13
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:27,720
Interesting.

14
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:28,120
Okay.

15
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:38,320
So is that how you got started into this?

16
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,000
How would I say it?

17
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,760
It's educating business per se.

18
00:01:44,760 --> 00:02:04,720
Yeah, I think we always look around us and those closest to us of starting that, but really building on my education as a CPA and my MBA and my years of corporate finance to say theories and here are some practices that we see happening in corporate finance, but doesn't always translate down to the small business owner.

19
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:14,040
So being the spouse of a small business owner is hard and I was like, I don't understand why you're not making more money or why you can't contribute more at home.

20
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:24,800
And then I was able to peel back some of the things that he was doing to really implement some strategies and help his business be more profitable, which ultimately benefited our entire family.

21
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,320
