Savvy Boss Lady

Savvy Boss Lady is the brain child of sisters Heather Christison and Jennifer S. Goldsmith. While working on their own businesses, Heather and Jennifer attended many business development courses and noticed a common theme: very few were giving women in business information about the "hard skills"...you know, the nuts and bolts of how to run a business. The sisters were learning a lot about sales and marketing, customer relationships, and mindset, but no one was talking about the ins and outs of the BUSINESS itself. That's where Savvy Boss Lady was born!

Heather has over 20 years of experience working in accounting and finance. She has worked for all sizes of entrepreneurs from a solo-preneur start up to a $35 million dollar a year contractor. Her expertise gained working for the first CMA firm in the country provided a wealth of exposure to many different industries. With clients spanning the medical/dental field, construction, business/life coaching, retail/wholesale sales she is well versed in the diverse needs of a variety of industries.

She helps entrepreneurs to understand what the numbers mean in their business and how to use that knowledge to grow. Using plain English and examples she helps her clients with the tools they need to thrive in their business. One client describes the relief she feels as “the single most important reason that I will continue to work with Heather is that my shoulders physically drop when I see her. It’s like my body knows we’re in safe hands for the business” Being is business is a roller coaster, Heather is your partner in the ride helping you navigate the ups and downs with ease and grace
