In many ways, Maddie Brown is the entrepreneur’s financial entrepreneur. She brings the financial know-how that most small businesses are lacking. Many of Maddie’s clients are professional artists, speakers and consultants. These individuals (many of them accomplished, self-starting women) have built 7-figure careers around working with other entrepreneurs to lead the life they desire.
She loves working with small and start-up women business owners to help them be financially smart and successful. There are 12 Million women-owned businesses, 88% make less than $100,000 gross income. She is here to help them change that statistic and make a bigger difference in the world.
My inspiration is seeing small business's succeed and grow. I love helping people create a business that is supportive physically, financially and spiritually My biggest frustration is that small business's are not supported by their accountants so that they are more successful and profitable. I hear regularly from entrepreneurs that say they are 'afraid' of their accountant. This does not make for a good team. Creating a business that helps you achieve your dreams. Cash Flow, Business Planning and Goal Setting,
I’m a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with 30+ years of working with small businesses. I have a passion for helping other business owners fulfill their dreams and create the real business they were meant to share. My services save time, stress and money and gives people wings. By helping business owners fulfill their place, I fulfill mine. This is my gift. https://smashingnumbers.com/making_and_keeping_more_money.php
