Freedom isn’t just for our clients. It’s for us, too.

If you're an accounting or bookkeeping pro, July marks halftime—and it’s a great time to pause, reassess, and reset.

We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes consolidating our tools and workflows into one smart system—Microsoft 365—to reduce overwhelm, cut tech clutter, and give us (and you) more time and money freedom.

A standout win? Our new Office 365 Bookings page, which replaces the calendar chaos with a clean, easy-to-use scheduling tool.

We’ve Moved!

As of July 1, 2025, Sage Growth Advisors is now operating from our new office—and we’re thrilled to welcome you into this next chapter with us.

New Address & Meeting Location: 33 Market Point Drive Greenville, SC 29607 (Inside The Office Center—just check in with the front desk receptionist when you arrive!)

Shhh… this one's still flying under the radar, but it’s officially Sage-approved.

Ever wish you could just talk your thoughts out and have them turn into clean, structured content? Enter Wispr Flow—an AI-powered voice-to-text tool that’s shockingly accurate (and I don’t say that lightly).

I’ve been testing it out, because my brain moves faster than I can type and honestly? I’m impressed. It catches my pace, my tone, even my pauses—and turns it all into polished writing faster than I could ever type it.

The Embezzlement Case That Hit a Little Too Close to Home

When I launched my firm back in October of 2000, I did so with gratitude and support. The accounting firm I had interned with—and later served as a team member—graciously allowed me to transition some of the clients I had built relationships with. The rest of their small business clients were sold to another bookkeeper in the area.

I went my way. She went hers.

Seven years later, I opened the newspaper and felt my stomach drop.

This month, with my right hand raised, my heart was full. 
 
I had the profound honor of being sworn in as Treasurer for CherishLife.org—a nonprofit with a mission so close to my heart, the moment brought tears to my eyes. 

We see you. 
 
The profession is shifting fast, and if you’re feeling overwhelmed, under-supported, or just in need of a judgment-free zone to scream into the void—you’re not alone. 

New look. New focus. Same fierce commitment to compliance. 
 
We’ve been busy behind the scenes—and it shows. 

When Family + Fraud = Forensic Accounting 101 
 
The very first forensic case I ever worked? A man walked into my office and said, “I think I’m being embezzled.” 

Payroll That Doesn’t Make You Cry: Gusto 
 
If you’re still DIY-ing payroll or navigating some clunky system from the early 2000s… let us introduce you to Gusto. 

“Revenue is cute. Margin is commitment.” 
 
It’s easy to brag about your top-line revenue—but if your costs are chasing every dollar like they’re in a high-speed car chase, what’s the point? 

You don’t need to grind harder. Just smarter. And we’re here for that.
