Who We Are

As two entrepreneurs with over 44 years of combined business experience, we founded Gutsy Money because too many closed-door conversations with founders and female leaders revealed a common fear: not having the right financial support was crippling their confidence and growth.

Together, with our exceptional team, we’re here to be the ultimate money partner of women in business. This means we empower them to operate at peak financial mastery with unshakeable confidence.

Without further ado, we invite you to meet our amazing team…

Why Gutsy Money is Different

Your Data Security is Our #1 Priority 

Your financial data is the heart of your business.

We understand that as a woman-owned business, you’ve poured your heart and soul into building your dream. Protecting that dream is our top priority.

That’s why we’ve invested in the highest levels of security, including a SOC 2 certified client portal—the Gold Standard in data protection. This means your sensitive information is shielded by the Internet’s most advanced security measures.

For communications outside our secure portal, your data is safeguarded by Google Workspace’s enterprise-grade security features like advanced encryption, two-factor authentication, and continuous threat monitoring. Workspace also boasts built-in data loss prevention (DLP) to prevent sensitive information from leaving our secure environment, and their robust spam filtering keeps malicious emails at bay.

With Gutsy Money, you can focus on what you do best—running your incredible business—knowing your finances, passwords, and documents are safe and secure.
