About Jaclyn
About Me
In my over 12-year career in corporate accounting, I have split my time between working on internal teams and working fractionally and in client services.
The first half of my career was spent embedded directly on internal accounting teams—acting as the sole finance employee scaling a $2M tech startup, and later managing the accounting function for a growing $25M global software company. The second half of my career has been in working fractionally and client services, operating as a manager at an accounting firm, an outsourced controller, and a fractional CFO. In that space, I partnered with dozens of different businesses and mission-driven non-profits nationwide to get their accounting and finance operations in order and goals achieved.
Having seen so many different business models and systems, I am able to plug into new teams easily, understand your day-to-day operations quickly, and handle a lot of the heavy lifting so you don't have to worry about it. I try to bring a balance of technical expertise, empathy, clear communication, and a little bit of humor to the table. My goal is to give you peace of mind that your books are compliant and audit-ready, while making sure we enjoy the ride along the way.
Why work with me?
At SAAF Co., I focus on building close, direct partnerships rather than managing a high volume of accounts. We will work closely together to get your accounting operations completely in order and your goals achieved, but we'll make sure to have a great relationship and enjoy the ride along the way.
When you partner with me, you get:
A Full Partner & Extension of Your Team: I don't look at this as a distant, outside agency relationship. I plug directly into your daily workflow, learn your specific operations, and act as a true part of your team.
A Personal Touch (Not Just AI or Automation): You get a dedicated, high-touch relationship with an experienced professional—not a rotating team of junior account managers. While I love utilizing modern technology to keep your accounting efficient, automated reports will never replace human judgment and understanding the real context behind your numbers.
A Reliable Problem Solver Focused on Transformational Change: Every growing business hits financial bottlenecks. Whether it's untangling messy historical data, streamlining complex vendor terms, or prepping for an upcoming audit, I look at every challenge as an opportunity to implement long-term, structural improvements rather than just patching over symptoms.
Keeping Things Simple: Financial infrastructure can feel overwhelming. I specialize in taking total ownership of the backend accounting, breaking down complex setups into simple, streamlined processes that give you clear visibility and total peace of mind.
