A little about myself

Hi! I’m Marguerite

I am passionate about bridging the gender and racial wealth gap by helping small businesses to maximize their profitability. I help small business owners and entrepreneurs, just like you, reach all-time profit highs, pay yourself consistently, and feel more confident than ever on how you’re operating your business, knowing that each decision you’re making is leading you to the financial outcome that you desire.

I’ve been named Forbes Next 1000 and Atlanta’s 40 Under 40 by Atlanta Business Chronicle and have been seen in Yahoo! Finance, Barrons, Entrepreneur Magazine, Black Enterprise, Business Insider, Washington Post, and more. I am an angel investor, business advisor for Goldman Sachs’ One Million Black Women national program, the creator of Your Profit Playbook™- the leading business financial planning training program for small business owners, and the Founder & CEO of Finance Savvy CEO. Via programming and members-only access, the EdTech FinTech platform Finance Savvy CEO, aids to close the gender & racial wealth gap through helping entrepreneurs increase their business financial literacy and the overall financial health of their business. I have helped small business owners to raise $33M+ in capital and increase their annual profits on average by 63% and am on a mission to help entrepreneurs create a pathway to generational wealth through profitable entrepreneurship and organic financial sustainability.

With my extensive business & financial strategy experience, I make building and running a profitable business simple and achievable.

Executive Coach
“Marguerite explains finance in such a way that makes it all finally make sense!”

Before working with her, my company was being valued at $ 333K, after working with her, I’ve completed another round of funding, but this time at a company valuation of $3.5 MILLION, an increase of 950%!”
