Sara, the original founder of A4E, launched the business in 2018 as a tax services company. However, after realizing that many of her tax customers had messy books and low profit margins, she decided to expand the services to include bookkeeping and CFO services. This shift allowed A4E to become a strategic partner for its customers, providing them with comprehensive accounting solutions. Since then, the business has experienced significant growth, with a MRR of $8k and a targeted MRR of $13k by the end of the year.
