Brief Bio:

After spending over ten years in corporate America, helping to build multimillion-dollar businesses as the "go-to numbers girl," Octavia decided to ditch the 9 to 5 in 2011 and build her dream business instead. With a laptop, a busted printer, and nominal savings, but full of passion, Octavia embarked on a journey of providing small businesses with advanced financial management support, strategies, and solutions. Her passion led to the birth of Say Yes To Profits.

After leaving her corporate 6-figure career to become a full-time entrepreneur, Octavia experienced a period she titled "Broke, Busted, & Disgusted - Breakthrough.". During this challenging time, Octavia was completely broke and broken. From building her dream home from the ground up to one month away from foreclosure. Octavia wondered, "how could this be happening"?

She returned to corporate America part-time while rebuilding her business from scratch. Within 14 months, she reemerged as a full-time six-figure business owner, scaling to seven figures during COVID-19. She is a walking success story!
