Inspiring Conversations with DeAnna Grant of Grant’s Financial Services

Today we’d like to introduce you to DeAnna Grant.

DeAnna Grant

Hi DeAnna, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself. 
As a new mother who was also an accounting professional in corporate America, I faced the challenge of corporate limitations. I was trying to adjust to my new life as a mother and be there for my child while also participate in my professional career. As a result, I launch Grant’s Financial Services in 2009 and have found a path to work/life balance and helping people avoid business tax pitfalls at the same time. 

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Like a lot of business owners, life comes with challenges and obstacles. But I continued by journey in helping small business despite the loss of my father amid building a sustainable business. 12 years later, I am standing strong, Grant’s Financial Services is flourishing, and our clients are accomplishing their financial goals. 

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Grant’s Financial Services is a boutique business accounting and business tax firm located in Chicago, IL, specializing in business tax planning, cash flow strategy, accounting, and bookkeeping. We are more than an accounting firm, but advocates for small businesses. We take the extra step to support small businesses and owners with workshops, educational resources, and tools to grow their personal and business finances. Services we offer include Tax preparation, Bookkeeping, Financial Literacy Education, and more. To learn more, please visit our website at: https://www.grantsfinancialsvcs.com/ 

Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
I took the risk of betting on myself and starting Grant’s Financial Services from scratch, but I have not looked back since. It took for me to leave the comfort of my corporate job to explore the possibilities of success with entrepreneurship and following my true passion for helping and education others about sound financial stewardship.
