Hi, I’m Ann — your strategic partner for a profitable, well-run business…

After nearly two decades in corporate accounting and process improvement, I traded the cubicle for entrepreneurship — and quickly learned that running your own business brings a whole new set of challenges.

What began as financial consulting evolved into my Realign & Rise Method — a framework for helping mission-driven women entrepreneurs simplify the way their business runs, understand their numbers, and make smart, confident decisions.

Why? Because I’ve lived through the messiness of growth without the right systems in place. I’ve seen the hours lost to manual work, the stress of unclear finances, and the toll it takes when you’re constantly putting out fires instead of moving forward. I knew I wasn’t alone — and I knew how to fix it.

Today, I help women entrepreneurs clear the clutter behind the scenes, streamline how work gets done, and use their numbers to guide better decisions — so they can grow smarter, earn more, and finally stop feeling buried in busywork.

What It’s Like to Work With Me

I bring a blend of strategic thinking, process improvement, and deep respect for your values to every engagement. My job isn’t to turn you into a tech wizard — it’s to help you create a business that works for you.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Clear-eyed strategy rooted in your goals

  • Honest conversations (no shame, no fluff)

  • Practical, streamlined systems that make the back end easy to manage

  • A space to think, decide, and move forward with confidence

Why I Focus on Supporting Women Entrepreneurs

After years working behind the scenes in both corporate and small businesses, I saw how many purpose-driven women were overwhelmed — not because they lacked vision, but because they were trying to do everything alone with pieced-together systems and guesswork finances.

You deserve support that respects your mission and helps you create sustainable growth — without sacrificing your values, energy, or sanity. That’s exactly what I’m here for.

Credentials You Can Count On

  • 20+ years of experience in accounting, financial strategy, and process improvement — from corporate roles to entrepreneurial ventures

Beyond the Business

I live near Lake Michigan in Wisconsin with my four-legged assistant, Izzy, who keeps me on schedule for fetch breaks and fresh air. I’m a mom of two grown sons and a proud grandma. When I’m not working, you’ll find me walking or biking by the lake, tending my garden, or curling up with a good mystery novel.
