You've made the leap and decided to start your business, excited about the journey ahead of you. Or maybe you've had your business for a while, but never got it organized or made it "official" and have been winging it with less-than stellar profits.
But there are so many rules for your finances and taxes, and you're worrying about doing it all the right way. You certainly never learned how to do this in school!
Now the overwhelm and doubt is coming in.
In the last few weeks, I bet you've either gone down a bunch of online rabbit holes, tried to make sense of what your friend's dad's accountant told you to do, or have even tried to reach out to a local CPA office...
But still struggle to get the clear answers you need for your business.
If someone would just tell you exactly what you need to do to not just stay out of trouble, but make some money too, you'd get ahead a lot faster.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO STAY STUCK IN THE BROKE START-UP STAGE OF BUSINESS

What if this was you?
✨ You're focusing on the fun stuff in your business - making sales and serving your customers - instead of in the weeds trying to keep up with your finances.
✨ You're paying yourself a good salary from your business early on because you're clear on how much money you need to bring in AND what your ideal pricing should be.
✨ You sleep well at night because you're confident that all your financial bases are covered.
✨ You've created a solid foundation that you can grow and scale with more ease! (I wish I had known all this when I started my business!)
✨ You actually find the freedom that's promised when you start a business.

I have an MBA, but setting up my business's finances was confusing to me! Sarah broke it all down, made it simple and approachable, and left me feeling really confident about running my business. She taught me how to set up my QuickBooks the right way, pay myself, and reinforced a profit first mentality. She also made it clear what I needed to do and what risks I could afford to take as a business owner. Sarah makes finance fun!

Hi! I'm Sarah.
My mission is to help business owners build real, life-changing wealth from their business's cash flow.
It all starts with setting your business up the right way.
I'm a CPA, Virtual CFO, and the founder of Young + Co.
I spent years honing my business, finance, and leadership skills in the Big Four and at a large publicly-traded company before starting my own business. At this point, I've seen behind the curtain of over 100 small businesses, from start-ups to 8-figures - and grew my own business to $250K in revenue in my first year full-time.
I can spot profit leaks from a mile away.
I'm also a wife and mom of a two-year-old, so I don't have time for fluff.
I just want to do what works to put more money in the bank - and I want that for you, too.
I know how hard it is to find a financial partner for your business who knows how modern & online businesses work, who gives it to you straight without all the jargon and shame that often comes with money stuff.
I've boiled down all the finance and tax rules into exactly what a new business owner needs to know to get from zero to a regular paycheck.
Let's make your finances easy...
and, dare I say, fun!

This program is amazing! It has helped me not only manage my finances and forecasting better but helped me get a healthier mindset about my financial planning as a CEO! Sarah broke things down into bite-sized actions which helped me understand how to manage my business finances, set up the right processes, and create a framework to grow in the future. And all her spreadsheets were so helpful! It's the first weekend of the month, and I've carved out time to reconcile my accounts (through QuickBooks!) and review my financial statements, and I've even set up bank accounts for business savings and taxes!
