Okay listen. If you’ve ever stared at QuickBooks like it personally offended you, or Googled “WTF is a chart of accounts” while eating leftover fries and avoiding your bank app—same, girl. But then I met Kristian. And I’m not being dramatic (well maybe a little), but this woman changed the way I see money, spreadsheets, and my entire business.

Let me introduce you to the one and only Glow CFO—a.k.a. your new favorite financial baddie and my personal numbers fairy godmother. ✨


💡 Kristian = the financial hype woman your business has been waiting for

So here’s the tea: Kristian is a CPA with corporate experience for days—we’re talking Big Four, public accounting, and working with brands you definitely follow on Instagram. But what makes her magic isn’t just the resume. It’s the fact that she left all of that behind to actually help women like us.

Creative women. Colorful women. CEOs with glitter in our Canva files and 47 tabs open in our brains. 💅

She built Glow CFO because she saw how many of us were building amazing brands—but still struggling with the backend biz stuff. She didn’t judge us for not knowing our profit margins. She pulled up a chair, brought snacks, and said “let’s figure it out together.”


From corporate cubicle to full-blown CFO baddie

Now here’s where I start gushing because I love a good pivot story.

Kristian was burned out, boxed in, and tired of shrinking herself to fit into the corporate mold. So she did the bold thing (the CEO thing, let’s be real)—and walked away. She turned years of high-level experience into something that actually lights her up: helping women like you and me feel good about money.

Now she runs Glow CFO like the cheer captain she is (literally—she was a college cheerleader, which explains the motivational speaker energy). She doesn’t just manage your books—she teaches you how to take the lead. She gives creative CEOs the clarity and confidence to look at their numbers and say, “I got this.”

Because financial literacy isn’t boring when Kristian’s around. It’s a glow-up. A group chat. A mindset shift with receipts. 💖


💼 Why you’ll want her in your corner, like, yesterday

If you’re the kind of business owner who’s amazing at everything else but secretly panics when tax season hits, this is your sign.

Kristian’s 8-week group program, Creative Cashflow Studio, is part coaching, part financial therapy, part CEO slumber party. You’ll learn how to:

  • Use QuickBooks without crying

  • Pay yourself like the main character

  • Set money goals that actually make sense

And the best part? You're learning alongside other women who get it. No shame. No stupid questions. Just community, clarity, and maybe a little confetti when you finally reconcile your books.


💖 Let’s glow, baby

Supporting Kristian isn’t just about hiring a bookkeeper—it’s about letting a brilliant woman walk alongside you as you build your dream. She’s not above explaining something three times. She’s not here to shame your past mistakes. She’s here to remind you that your business? It deserves to be profitable and joyful.

Or just whisper her affirmations to yourself in the mirror:
“Money is my employee, not my stressor.”
“I charge what I’m worth—and then some.”
“Financial literacy is sexy, and I’m fluent, baby.”

Kristian, if you’re reading this—I love you. You’re the CFO every creative CEO deserves. And to everyone else reading this: get you a numbers bestie like her. Trust me, your future self (and your tax accountant) will thank you.
