Testimonials
I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Carrie Sauls at Charlie Sierra for the past three years. She alone created all of our procedures and developed programs to keep our fast-growing company organized. She also handled all of our daily operational tasks.
I have been in the Hardware - Home Center Industry for nearly 40 years and have had the opportunity to work with some very talented people. I speak from experience when I say Carrie is one of those people!

Carrie is the heartbeat of wineGrasp Company! When she joined our team, we were all over the place with bookkeeping, sales records and we had two different websites. Carrie immediately set us up in QuickBooks and helped streamline our websites into one that does everything we need. She organized all of our records, sales representatives, contacts and history. She also categorized the photos in our drive so everything was easily accessible.
​
Professionalism is Carrie's middle name and she truly brought that to our company. Besides being our biggest supporter, she is always three steps ahead when any issues arise, making our lives so much easier.
​
I'm not sure there is anything in a business that Carrie can't master. She would be a valuable asset to any company or team.

I met Carrie after an employee unexpectedly left and I was in desperate need of assistance in my Accounting office. Within the first day, Carrie had a week's worth of A/R and A/P backlog caught up. Over the next several weeks she identified areas of redundancy and improved our processes making our system more efficient. She even trained my new hire, which allowed me to focus my attention elsewhere. Such a stress relief, I highly recommend Charlie Sierra!

I wanted to start my own roofing business, but I had no idea where to begin. I met Carrie and she told me about Charlie Sierra. Carrie walked me through the process of registering my business, applying for my EIN, and sales tax exemption. I am now an official business. I still have other logistical things to set up, but plan to hire Charlie Sierra again once my business is ready to be fully operational.

About Me
If you're anything like me, you find that writing a profile about yourself seems awkward and pompous. However, to establish a business relationship with you, I need to dig deep and at least attempt to open up, brag a bit, and hopefully leave you wanting to learn more about how I can help your business operations. So, here goes -
​
I am originally from Central Florida; however, between career moves, life changes, and my husband's military career, I have lived in several places (including England) throughout my adult life. Now that my husband has retired from the US Air Force and our children are out on their own, we have settled in Tucson, Arizona, with our dog Banchee [sic].
Over the years, I have worked for entrepreneur-owned start-up businesses, small, independently-owned companies, and even major corporations. Through those experiences, I noticed a recurring issue - no matter the industry or the company's size - there are always redundancies and areas of disorganization that lead to lost efficiency, production, and ultimately negatively impact the company's bottom line. Because of this, I chose to start my own business, offering operations consulting and assistance. Whether you are looking for someone to create and implement your company's infrastructure, streamline exisiting processes, provide more calrity on the finer details of how your business is performing, set business goals, or are looking for tools to assist in growing your business to achieve established goals, you found me. I have done it and would love to share my knowledge/experience/tools with you and your team!
