What Inspired Samantha to Start Firestorm Finance?

Samantha started Firestorm Finance because she never wanted anyone to feel as she once did. Before her journey with Firestorm, she ran two small creative businesses. These included making clothing and selling stickers adorned with her art. Unfortunately, she neglected bookkeeping and finances. This lack of attention ultimately hurt her and her businesses.

“I had no idea what was profitable or possible, which led to stress and panic,” she recalls. Samantha’s experience ignited a passion within her. She wanted to prevent others from feeling that same anxiety. After years in corporate accounting, she took the leap to guide others toward confidence in their financial decisions.

The Desired Outcome for Clients

After working with her clients for at least one month, Samantha hopes they feel relieved. It’s essential for them to experience a burden lifted off their shoulders. She wants her clients to gain confidence in their numbers. They shouldn't second-guess each decision regarding their businesses. Instead, they should understand what is truly attainable.

The Meaning of Financial Stewardship

To Samantha, financial stewardship means managing money effectively and with purpose. Often, financial matters are pushed aside, despite their importance. Therefore, a focus on these matters must be intentional.

“Just looking at your numbers isn’t good stewardship; you need purpose behind your actions,” she emphasizes. Proper management means making informed decisions while aligning with your values.

Rewarding Moments Since Launching Firestorm

One of Samantha's most rewarding experiences has been witnessing the growth of businesses she has supported. Since she opened Firestorm, she has helped over 40 businesses thrive. Seeing them hire more people or expand their client capacity has been a true blessing.

"It's why I do this work," she explains. "I want to help others exceed the odds and build a flourishing business that supports their families."

Advice for Beginners on Their Journey to Financial Freedom

Samantha offers straightforward advice: just start. “A messy start is better than a perfect one,” she states. It’s important to look at your numbers with intention. Make a solid plan based on what you see. If you find numbers overwhelming, seek assistance from someone who simplifies them.

Vision for the Future of Firestorm Finance

Looking ahead, Samantha envisions growth for Firestorm Finance. She aspires to have a team that allows her to help even more businesses thrive. Supporting others and showing them what’s possible drives her ambition. Once her business reaches a significant level of success, she plans to give generously and fiercely.
