Here are answers to some questions you may have:
What makes your services different from other consultants?
As a small business owner, I understand that it is hard to find good help. You need someone you can trust and a partner to help you understand how you can use what is available to you to strategically grow your business.
In addition to my own experience, I am partnered with a network of local professionals who can help with various areas of small business, especially for new business owners. This network is continuing to grow as I meet more and more professionals who have a desire to educate and help others who want to be in business for themselves.
Many consultants and financial professionals do not cater to any specific group and help everyone. I have found a need among female business owners who could use more help in growing their business or just want someone to bounce ideas off of and to talk to about their unique challenges.
I enjoy providing quality service and am friendly, reliable, understanding, patient, easily accessible, knowledgeable and trustworthy.

What is your background? How long have you been in business?
I have provided office support to small businesses in the local area since 1992 and started 850 Consulting back in 2014. While providing services to a local small business owner, I was asked to help support their growing company and went to work for them full time. As the company grew, I was no longer able to continue my consulting services, however, with the changes that COVID has brought about in 2020, I am now in a position to grow my business and focus my time on helping small business owners who need ongoing, dedicated support.

How can you help my business?
When starting or operating an existing business, so many questions come up and you can easily spend hours researching answers via blog posts, business articles, videos, podcasts and online groups. (Can anyone else relate to this?)
Family and friends mean well and offer tons of advice that may not be applicable to what you do or may not be the best way for you to go about running your business.
There is a lot to learn, and you primarily need to focus on performing the professional services that you have chosen to offer, so that you can make money!
I can help answer basic questions like:
-How do I develop a business plan?
-Is there funding available to me to help me grow?
-What type of business insurance will I need?
-What accounting system should I use?
-Should I do my own bookkeeping?
-How do I market my services to get more clients?
-Who can I use to file my taxes?
-What taxes am I responsible for?
-Can I automate some of the administrative functions of my business?
-How do I bring on employees?
-When should I begin outsourcing to other professionals?
Most of these tasks can be handled within a short period of time, however, the accoounting is a monthly necessity. I can take away the time and stress of you needing to do your own bookkeeping by providing this as a monthly, ongoing service. I have found that recording bank transactions and handling invoicing and bill paying services for small businss owners like you, frees them of the stress of having to schedule time to take care of it themselves, in addition to their primary business and also gives them peace of mind knowing where the business stands and what areas need attention. Accurate bookkeeping is directly related to reducing the amount the business will pay in taxes and increasing the amount of cash flow a business has.
