Who this is for

A good fit

  • Startups & early years You’re building the foundation and want systems that grow with you.
  • Solopreneurs You wear every hat. We help you hand some of them off while you stay in control of your business.
  • People-helping practices Coaches, counselors, and care-focused owners who want the back office handled with heart.
  • Service & recreation Including golf and hospitality, with busy seasons that need a plan.

Quietly not a fit

We’re not a tax-only, once-a-year shop. And we’re not bookkeeping-only without advisory. The guidance is part of how we work.

How we work together

Empowering entrepreneurs to envision, pursue, and achieve.

  1. Discovery chat

    Tell Sarah where you are and what you want for your business, and we’ll talk through how we can help make it a reality.

  2. Clear plan

    Together we pick the mix of planning, books, payroll, and tax support that establishes the financial foundation for success.

  3. Ongoing support

    Regular scheduled meetings keep your plan on track. Life isn’t perfect and things change, so Sarah is available between meetings too.

What you’ll get from a discovery chat

A short call (about 15 minutes) with Sarah. You’ll talk through where the business is now, what would help most, and whether SMP is a good fit. You’ll leave knowing what happens next.

How we price

We don’t publish a price list. After a discovery chat, Sarah quotes a flat fee for the agreed-upon work. You’ll know the number before you start.

Quick answers

Do you work virtually?
Yes. Sarah is based in Howell, MI, and works with clients virtually. If you’re local, she loves to meet face-to-face, often at a coffee shop or another local business she’s glad to support.
Do you do my taxes, or just the books?
Both. Planning and coaching come first, then bookkeeping and payroll. Tax strategy and preparation are part of the work for year-round clients.
What if I already have a CPA?
Sarah will work alongside your CPA and other professionals to make sure every part of your business is covered.
What happens after I book a discovery chat?
You’ll get a confirmation, then meet with Sarah.
How does onboarding work if we move forward?
We start with an engagement letter that covers scope and price. Then we collect the necessary documents and access, and set a meeting schedule.
