About Us
We provide our clients with the
confidence, network, and customized strategies
to fully realize the business of their dreams.
I never intended to be an entrepreneur. But frankly, I was tired of being in the old boys’ network and working for someone else's bottom line.
Then, in 2017, I found myself a laid-off, single mom of 4 with no cash runway (none, no other revenue streams, nothing).
I launched my first business, dk east associates, leveraging my decades-long career leading finance, accounting and operations for Fortune 500 companies including NBC, CBS and FOX to help entrepreneurs level up their finances, processes and confidence in their business. With deep knowledge of how the “big guys” grow and maintain financial success, we translate business and finance strategy effectively – and with results – for small businesses.
As a woman, we’re not taught to be confident in our pursuit of financial success – and that certainly doesn’t help when we start our own businesses. Our new seat at the table still doesn’t guarantee that assumptions, stereotypes, and years of a specific cultural norm won’t take us off our course or hinder our entrepreneurial vision.
I'm on a mission to change all that.
Our values speak volumes about working with us.
We believe in:
INTEGRITY.
Our word is our bond. We follow through with promises and deliver consistently, because our team, our clients and our network deserve our very best.
COLLABORATION.
We believe each team member is a crucial piece to the bigger picture, providing valuable insight into where things are and aren’t working. Collaboration allows all of us to be heard & to be part of the solution and the journey.
ENTHUSIASM.
We try our very best to make our work fun. Because if you don’t enjoy the ride, it will always feel like an uphill climb.
