Hi, I’m Melissa.

Number cruncher, money nerd, lover of nice things.​

Companies turn to me when they want to improve the profitability of the businesses they’ve invested in.

There is a high failure rate of startups and many fail due to money management issues. I help service-based professionals, brick & mortar businesses, startups and product-based businesses how to increase profit so they can make more money and stay in business for the long term.

I’m data driven. Numbers don’t lie, and I teach you how to understand those numbers.

I Write. I have Programs. I Speak. I Consult.

HERE'S WHAT IS REALLY AT STAKE: WE NEED MORE WEALTH IN THE HANDS OF WOMEN.

I am on a mission to get more wealth in the hands of women.

I believe that every business owner has the ability to build their wealth through their business and I am passionate about showing them how.
It’s been proven that women are more ethical in business, more community driven and focused on making positive change in the world, and to do that takes money.

You can do that by supporting women funded initiatives and teach women HOW to build profitable businesses. 

Help change the world and lives of other women and children for generations to follow.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

  • "Melissa, I can’t thank you enough not only for your constant support but also for always being willing to share your knowledge with other entrepreneurs in such an inspiring fashion. I love that you can take a traditionally “dry” topic like business finances and money and turn it into something easy to understand, and at times funny and exciting. You kept us engaged form minute one with true stories and relatable experiences. I’m looking forward to continuing to work together to help more women entrepreneurs break down those barriers on the road to financial success."
