Annette Blankenship at Together Forward has been my business coach as I've grown ProfitPro Bookkeeping, and she's been a difference-maker. I spent 24 years in banking before starting my firm, so I came in knowing finance — what Annette helped me with is everything else: leading a team, making hiring decisions, and working through the messy operational questions that don't have obvious answers. When I've hit crossroads, like deciding whether a problem needed a new hire or a better process, she asked the right questions instead of just handing me an answer, and I ended up with a solution I actually believed in.What I appreciate most is that she celebrates the wins but doesn't let me coast on them. When our first client satisfaction survey came back strong, she was the first to congratulate the team — and then we got right back to work on the one area that needed attention. If you're a business owner who wants a coach who will actually move you forward, not just cheer from the sidelines, I'd recommend Annette without hesitation.— William "Bill" Dowers, CPCP, Owner, ProfitPro Bookkeeping®

Six months ago I was overwhelmed, craving stability, systems and industry norms for my business that I just didn't know what to start with or how to organize it all. Annette stepped in as my coach and helped me get everything in my head out in SOPs, training videos and kept me on schedule. She even helped me make massive shifts in hiring new team members to help guide the ship in our new direction. I was able to secure 3 new clients during our time together that were all in line with our new business direction. Annette was always prepared, yet could pivot on a dime if we needed to focus on something else to make the best use of our time, as often new things would come up for our meetings. If you're looking for a coach or accountability partner, don't hesitate - just book the discovery call. You will NOT be disappointed.

Annette was wonderful to work with. She is detail-oriented and has a wealth of knowledge in the area. of business growth. Her strategic approach helped us gain clarity on where to focus our efforts to understand where we, as a business, want to go and how we can take the necessary steps to get there.She listened to the stage of growth we are in and adjusted her approach to fit what it was we needed, rather than giving us a one-size-fits-all. We appreciate her insight and would recommend her strategic services, especially those looking for a helpful and objective third-party perspective.

With her guidance, your company will reach new heights!

Annette at Together Forward is amazing! Before seeing her, I lacked confidence and structure in my small business. The first time I met with her I could tell we clicked, which helped me feel comfortable (not always easy talking about business struggles even though we all have them).Annette has great attention to detail, she's kind and compassionate, and has stellar integrity. She always follows through with what she says she'll do.She gave me much needed guidance and tools to succeed- there has been a huge shift in my business since working with her, and I feel so much more confident and capable than I ever thought I could be.All of the knowledge she has imparted on me will have a lasting positive impact not only on my business, but my personal life as well! Thank you, Annette! :)

It was great working with Annette. She helped me see the big picture when it came to delegating work. I now have a better grasp of how to step into my role as a leader rather than doing everything myself.

Together forward took my average job cost of 15k to 100k and taught me it’s not all about the revenue! The profit was also there too!🙌🏼🔥

We loved learning from Annette! She really taught us how to work our numbers.

Working with with Annette has been so instrumental for our business and life. She has helped build processes, document everything, and pull information from the past 14 years out of our head onto paper. I highly recommend any entrepreneur/business owner start with a coach sooner than later. I wish I had found her earlier. It's one of the best financial decisions I have ever made. It's the best therapy you could ever spend money on in today's ever changing business world.

As a business owner who only wants to help people heal, I have wanted NOTHING to do with my numbers. Not only has Annette guided me in separating my business from my personal accounts, but also, she has helped me to set up online programs to track my income and expenses and to create personal and business budgets. She keeps me accountable and inspired to doing the needed work and gives me the breathing room to do it at my own pace. My anxiety around being financially responsible in my business has greatly decreased and I am shifting from ignorant to aware.As a result of this awareness, my business has begun to grow! 

I am beyond grateful for the personalized, patient and judgment-free support Annette has given me. I HIGHLY recommend her services.Debbie YoungOwner, Soul Shed WellnessIntuitive & Emotional Coach, Registered Yoga Teacher, Certified Raindrop Technique Practitioner

Annette is AMAZING! She really knows what she is doing and helped me a ton! Highly recommended!

I have worked on and off with Annette both personally and professionally for years. She has an innate ability to locate problems and create solutions. She worked her way up the corporate ladder. After realizing, she could help so many more on her own, she left the corporate world. I have been blessed to have access to her natural ability to help others create strategies, see their vision, set goals, create systems and processes so they can take their company to the next level. She has helped us at my company become better leaders, free up our time, set up and perfect our systems and processes and know our numbers. She also helped us start building a high performing team by assisting us with our recruiting process. She is not one of these coaches that will sign you up and leave you alone to figure it out on your own. I highly recommend her if you have hit a ceiling, feeling stuck and not knowing which problem to correct first.

Annette is an engaging and empowering leader and co-worker. She is well versed in project management and an effective teacher in PMP processes and terminology. Under Annette’s management and leadership, was some of my best work experiences in over 30 years of working with and for very successful companies and managers/leaders. I would recommend working with her or engaging her in order to bring direction and leadership to any organization.
