What do people say about working with Jeanne & Emma
"Jeanne is an intuitive listener and asks the right questions to find the root of problems and offer practical steps forward. She has plenty of knowledge to offer, but more importantly, she has a supportive personality which makes me feel nurtured when I'm feeling anxious and offered forward momentum when I'm procrastinating."
"Emma is the person you want by your side. She has a way of being able to home in on the detail like finances and cashflow, but not lose sight of your dreams, aspirations, practical issues or work-life balance."
- "In business, success is not just about making a profit. It's about making a positive difference in the world." - Anita Roddick
