About Jess
Having walked the path of an entrepreneur for over 25 years, I have gained invaluable insights into the challenges and rewards that come with running a small business firsthand.
From a life as professional portrait photographer to the lifestyle of owning and operating my own restaurant and brewery for 15 years, I have personally experienced the journey of being a solo creative entrepreneur to that of a small business owner with a team of 25 employees.
During that time I gained valuable experience in business & vision planning, financial management, marketing strategies, and operational efficiency. I am also an Accredited member of the AASBC.
I possess a natural ability to see the big picture and offer logical, structured insight into the many facets of business operations. This unique combination of practical experience and innate understanding allows me to provide comprehensive consulting services tailored to your specific needs.
What sets me apart from other small business consultants is my ability to understand you and your business holistically.
I don't just focus on one aspect; I take into account all the moving parts and how they interact with each other. By taking a comprehensive approach, I help aspiring entrepreneurs bring their vision into a reality.
My consulting style is collaborative and personalized.
I believe in building strong relationships with my clients based on trust, open communication, and mutual respect. I will take the time to listen to your challenges, understand your unique circumstances, and tailor my recommendations to suit your specific needs. Together, we will work towards achieving your business objectives and realizing your goals.
Whether you are just starting your entrepreneurial journey or looking to take your existing business to new heights, I am here to support you every step of the way. With my extensive experience, practical insights, and strategic guidance, you can confidently navigate the complexities of running a small business and turn your vision into reality.
