Lead with Excellence with Melissa K. Jones

Creating Impact with Clients ft. Dondrea Owens, CPA


Listen Later

I sat down with Dondrea Owens, CPA of The Profit Table, to discuss how intentional communication plays a role in creating a positive impact on clients. Dondrea shares how The Profit Table team collaborates to anticipate client needs and deliver trustworthy financial services. We also discuss how her role as a financial leader for small businesses isn’t to make the decisions for clients but to guide them in a way where they’re able to make strategic financial decisions in the moment with confidence.

If you are a leader, who wants to create a meaningful impact with clients, this episode is for you.

Dondrea was a professional accountant at a top national firm when she turned her love for scrapbooking into a profitable wedding invitation side hustle. There she found herself collaborating with and inspired by talented women business owners who, on the surface, seemed to have it all together, but shared one common problem: A lack of confidence in their business finances.

As a fellow business owner with a wealth of financial knowledge, she realized she could bring something to the table to change the game for these women. So she built The Profit Table to provide the financial literacy, strategy, and clarity they need to get their business finances in check and create the future of their dreams.

CFO Day is a single-day intensive in which The Profit Table team, including the principal CFO, accountant, and bookkeeper, assesses your business’s overall accounting and finance department and provides actionable strategy. The Profit Table promises to provide you with a Profit Plan that aligns your business goals with your financial expectations and pays you, pays taxes, and grows the business.
