I am a keynote speaker, NAWBO Chicago President, and the founder of Reconciled Solutions. Since 2006, I have been helping high-achieving clients advance toward financial stability and order. I particularly thrive on helping business owners run the best version of the business they imagined, as they develop skill sets that support profit acceleration, operational efficiency, and work/life sustainability.
At Reconciled Solutions, we offer ongoing bookkeeping, accounting, and advisory support to high-achieving professional service-based businesses. When COVID-19 hit, my team and I worked tirelessly to secure over $87 Million in Disaster Relief Funding for our clients, and I am bursting with pride to say that not even one of our clients ended up going out of business due to financial pain resulting from pandemic conditions.
Above all, I am a believer in having the heart of a teacher. Since so many small business owners are intimidated by their financials and tie money and success together with fear and sacrifice, I want to help small business owners overcome their anxiety and help them understand their deeply personal story about their business by providing accurate and actionable financials.
I have an MBA from Loyola University (Chicago) and I am:
As a wife and mother of 3 teenagers, I am a steadfast believer in holistic sustainability – not only through ensuring long-term business profitability but also through lifestyle sustainability. I know how very arduous and difficult the journey can be toward running a profitable small business and avoiding entrepreneurial burnout. I followed the process to “Clockwork” my business in the summer of 2021, allowing me to take a 1-month vacation – even as the business was doubling in size. I have taken 1 month off every year since then, and I plan on continuing to do so, now that the business is a well-oiled machine.
For me, holistic sustainability means managing a flourishing business in coordination with being keeper of the calendar at home with 3 kids, 2 pets and 1 sweet husband. In my spare time, I enjoy hanging out with my family, as well as yoga and meditation, home decorating, traveling, and sleeping. Sleep is what I need to keep a balanced approach to life, love, and the pursuit of business.
