About Us

About Us image
Accelerating growth is the mission of Accelerate Business Consulting.  Most businesses don't fully realize their potential because it is very rare for one entrepreneur to be good at everything. That's why we are here. Whether that be filling in some of the gaps of the core business (strategy, business, plans, analysis, financials), bringing in new ideas to grow the business, connecting you to the right people, or facilitating best effort for pitches and presentation, we can support your business. With experience in women's economic empowerment, Accelerate is particularly interested in helping Women Owned Businesses thrive and grow.  If you are interested in maximizing the full potential of your company,  contact us for a free consultation.

 MiKaela is one of the most brilliant women I have ever encountered! I had the honor and pleasure to interact with her during many important business meetings and projects and she has always been so ready to lead and inspire my team. I find her ideas, and work ethics incredibly rare in any business and her take on business is always so refreshing and inventive. She is a woman ahead of her time and while helping me growing as a business woman she has been able to empower not only me but people of all walks of life. I find her an invaluable business partner, an honest giving team player and I look forward to explore many more wonderful projects with her as she continues to champion important causes while bringing success to others who are truly fortunate to work with her, just like me."
