Our story makes cents...

At the start of 2022, after years of helping businesses succeed financially and hosting a local show focused on spotlighting business owners and professionals, Making Cents of It All hit the ground running.  

With nearly two decades of experience in financial and professional services, Jesse poured his passion for helping small business owners and his years of experience into Making Cents of It All.  

Making Cents of It All looks to shine a spotlight on businesses and share their stories while helping them obtain the capital and services they need to succeed financially through partnerships formed with top financial services companies throughout the country.
