My journey in entrepreneurship started in 2021 when I opened my bakery “Mae’s Treats’. As I grew my business, I became a dessert vendor for multiple black-owned restaurants in the Twin Cities. 

During this time I noticed the need for improved financial operations within small businesses. I came to the realization that talent and even passion is not enough to convert a hobby into a long-standing company. Financial mismanagement is one of the top 3 reasons that small businesses fail.

I decided to make the switch from running my bakery to offering financial services to soloprenuers and small business owners. Why? Because in the end, it serves a bigger purpose. Small business owners deserve financial freedom and success too, it is not reserved for big corporations. You deserve wealth to pass down to your children and grand-children. Most importantly, you are entitled to a peace of mind. Wether that is achieved through outsourcing for help and creating a passive income source, taking the stress off maintaining compliance for your business or one less thing on your to-do list.

The “Why” Behind Bridge the Gap Financial

A big part of financial freedom is having your heart and mind free from worry about the what-ifs of life.” – Suze Orman

Where Numbers meet Freedom…

The definition of financial freedom is “the ability to live the life you want without relying on a traditional job. It's about having enough income, savings, and investments to make your own choices.” To me, it goes deeper than income and saving accounts. When we let go of our scarcity mindset and walk into our abundance mentality, we become a higher version of ourselves in every way. How we carry ourselves mentally and spiritually set the tone for our everyday lives, especially our careers.
