Over the past four years, the world of business has changed leading to the rise of small businesses and startups. According to a SBA (Small Business Association) study, there are estimated to be 33 plus million small businesses today; which make up over 99 percent of all US businesses in 2022. The SBA’s Office of Advocacy reports that 46.4 percent of all private-sector workforce in the US in 2022 called small businesses their employers. These stats speak to the need for quality and specialized accounting, fractional CFO, and financial coaching services which will allow small businesses to grow and achieve their goals.
