The CFO Difference: How I Transform Small Businesses


Hey there, fellow small business enthusiasts!


Ever caught sight of an industry expert and wondered how they got their start? Well, I’m excited to share my own journey with you. I'm Samara Andrews, the driving force behind FYE Finance, and from the very beginning, my goal has been to empower small business owners to navigate the intricate world of finances with confidence. Today, I'll take you through my path, my passion for tax planning, and how it all comes together to create lasting financial success for entrepreneurs like you.


Where It All Began


My journey into the world of finance started at a young age, inspired by my father's dedication to helping clients with their financial matters. Those long hours he spent meticulously going through piles of paperwork at our dining room table left a lasting mark on me. This early influence led me to pursue a degree in accounting, and after completing my education, I embarked on a career that would soon become my calling.


I dove into the corporate world, taking on roles that challenged me to apply my skills and make a real impact. One significant moment was when I saved an organization over $20K by identifying and eliminating ineligible discounts. This success ignited my passion for accounting, and I knew I wanted to go beyond the typical corporate setting.


The Transformation: Becoming a Fractional CFO


Discovering the concept of being a fractional CFO was a pivotal moment for me. The idea of providing strategic financial guidance to businesses on a part-time or project basis resonated deeply. I took a leap of faith, transitioning from corporate America to becoming a fractional CFO, and it was a transformational decision.


Adapting my skills to meet the diverse needs of various businesses was indeed challenging, but the rewards were beyond satisfying. I've had the privilege to work side by side with enthusiastic entrepreneurs, bringing clarity, stability, and freedom to their financial journeys. I've provided valuable insights and strategic recommendations that have a direct impact on their businesses.

Empowering Small Business Owners


Today, I'm more determined than ever to help small business owners to achieve maximum financial growth. I believe that every entrepreneur deserves to enjoy the fruits of their labor, and my mission is to guide you through the intricacies of tax planning, making it not just manageable but also empowering.


As I reflect on my journey, I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve small business owners like you. Your dreams and determination inspire me every day. Together, we can navigate the financial landscape, turning challenges into stepping stones toward your business's success.

Keep dreaming big and building your empire – I'm here to support you every step of the way.
