How I Can Help You

I specialize in helping entrepreneurs start and grow successful small businesses through marketing strategy, branding, business planning, bookkeeping, accounting, and practical uses of artificial intelligence to improve business operations.

I enjoy helping entrepreneurs turn their ideas into successful businesses and guiding small business owners as they start, grow, and strengthen their companies.

What I Offer:

Starting a Business: Guidance evaluating your business idea, selecting the right business structure, and developing a clear business plan for your startup.

Marketing Strategy and Advertising: Guidance building marketing strategies that combine online marketing, social media, websites, and traditional advertising to reach the right customers.

Branding: Support developing a strong brand identity that clearly communicates the value of your business.

Bookkeeping and Accounting Systems: Help setting up bookkeeping processes, understanding financial reports, and using tools such as QuickBooks to keep your finances organized.

Budgeting and Cash Flow: Practical support creating budgets, managing expenses, and maintaining healthy cash flow.

Business Operations: Advice on organizing systems and processes that help your business run smoothly and efficiently.

Artificial Intelligence for Small Business: Introduction to practical AI tools that can help automate tasks, improve marketing efforts, and support business planning.

A Bit About Me:
I bring more than 20 years of experience in marketing, public relations, sales, accounting, and business operations. I previously owned a marketing consulting business where I helped clients with branding, marketing strategy, graphic design, and advertising for both digital and traditional media. I also owned a bookkeeping business for 10 years, working with companies in many industries to set up and manage financial systems.

My education includes Fashion Merchandising, Advertising and Public Relations, and Business Management with a focus on marketing. I was formerly a Certified Professional Bookkeeper in Canada and a Certified QuickBooks advisor for both Online and Desktop versions.

I continue to stay current and expand my knowledge in artificial intelligence, branding, digital marketing, and graphic design so I can bring the most up-to-date ideas to the entrepreneurs I mentor.
