How to Align Your Business Strategy and Finances with Michele Williams
Manage episode 444146429 series 2836674
When it comes to your business finances, you might find it uncomfortable (maybe even a bit mystifying) to talk about. But if you really want to think big and level up as a CEO, your business strategy needs (and deserves) a financial plan to match.
Some people love analyzing the financials behind a business and how they affect strategy (and vice versa) and want to help other entrepreneurs get a firm handle on it, too. My new friend Michele Williams is one of them!
Michele is the dynamic owner of Scarlet Thread Consulting and Metrique Solutions, two companies that focus on empowering creative professionals. She’s a financial expert who loves to talk about and teach all things money, strategy, and finance. And she’s crazy about financial success!
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn about her dedication to helping business owners bridge the gap between their strategic vision and financial reality. Michele will discuss how she can help you develop a clear financial plan that supports your strategic goals so that you make better decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and achieve your long-term objectives.
