Small Business Consulting

​Most successful small businesses will eventually reach a business plateau. A place where further growth is difficult without investing in operational change and refreshed marketing materials. For solopreneurs, figuring out which tasks can and should be outsourced for maximum efficiency and profit can be a game changer, while a small business team or nonprofit can benefit from identifying and eliminating areas of disorganization and waste.

Through our Small Business Consulting division, Celebelle is pleased to provide a fresh and experienced set of eyes to help guide you to your next level of success. Celeste Shepherd, founder of Celebelle, leads the division and brings a unique skill set to the table that includes both administrative + marketing expertise. Celeste is a problem solver who has worked in the trenches of small business and excels at finding efficiencies and untangling business problem areas.
