About our guest:

Jolene Fleming is the CEO of Upper Left Accounting and she’s a profit and growth strategist, opportunity detector and someone who’s never met a puzzle she didn’t like. Jolene wants to win for her clients. Unapologetically growth-driven, Jolene's financial strategies turn small businesses into not-so-small businesses. She's transparent and unambiguous about it and still bubbles up with joy every time her tactics help someone reach a level of success that exceeds their expectations.

The entrepreneurial spirit is deep-rooted in Jolene’s DNA. She comes from a long line of business owners including her grandfather who was a veterinarian, and her great great grandfather who invented the sleeping bag. When she’s not driving profits up for her client list, you’ll find Jolene riding horses with her sister and mom, or beach loafing with her husband, and three kids!
