Ricker Accounting "For Life"Business Development / Social Enterprise Incubator
Jun. 2008 - Nov. 2014Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul AreaI believe everyday business owners and CEOs can make an extraordinary impact on the world they care about! To that end, I work with mission-driven business leaders and those who support them. As a business services liaison, I provide "enterprise development" connections for the best business services based on the needs of my clients. In partnership with Accounting for Life, I developed a business and leadership strategy to take people from survival to stability and on to success. Even more important, to move beyond success into significance through social impact. I believe in Social Enterprise - where serving the needs of people in a joyful, ethical, creative and profitable way helps (directly or indirectly) to solve a specific social problem. Pam Ricker's accounting firm, Ricker Accounting For LIfe, is a key player in this equation. Taking an educative approach and being a catalyst to effective business planning is what makes them different than the status quo accounting firm. We help you connect with THE RIGHT QUESTIONS, THE RIGHT NUMBERS, and THE RIGHT RESOURCES. The right questions because until you know what you should be asking yourself and others, and what questions they should be asking you - until then you are in the place of "I don't know what I don't know". Asking the right questions lead you to the right decisions which bring you into the place of DOING the right actions. The right numbers because you must have accurate, KEY numbers to TRACK WHAT COUNTS with precision, and stop wasting time and resources on the numbers that don't count. The right resources because it's all about who you trust and who you surround yourself with - both internally on your team, and externally in your inner circle of suppliers, advisors, and partners.
