Most services and workshops are available to purchase through my website.

Even though a service or workshop can be purchased through my site, a CONSULTATION will likely be required.

A consultation allows us one-on-one time to fully discuss your needs, whether in business, with genealogy or on a personal level.

Once you've reached out to me by scheduling a CONSULTATION or sending me a message through my CONTACT ME link, I will respond to you within 24 hours. That does not include weekends or Holidays.

When I respond, I will send you a consultation form to fill out. Your responses to the consultation form will help me be able to provide you with better quality of service. I also continue making notes on those forms while we are on our Zoom or phone call.

Consultation forms are required to be returned back to me a full 24 hours prior to a Zoom or phone call.

Some services and workshops require a Consultation call BEFORE AN ESTIMATE can be provided and payment can be accepted. Those services will clearly state to REQUEST A CONSULTATION prior to an estimate being given so you can locate them easily.

For those services, I'll provide you with an estimate after our Consultation Call. Once you agree to the estimate, I will provide you with a contract. The contact is to be kept as receipt for services and should be given to your tax preparer.

My services are provided as a business expense, so please be sure to ask your tax preparer about ways in which you will be able to use them on your tax return.

Even the services and workshops that can be purchased directly require a contract to be signed prior to the start of any project.

Every contract will outline the service being provided; even if it's a workshop, the cost, the start date + end date.

Don't forget to write down all of your questions prior to our Consultation call so that I can be sure to answer them all for you.

I appreciate your finding me on the web. This is the place you’ll get to know about my background and why my God-given gifts have helped me create resolutions for my clients for over 30 years.

My name is Sherri Smith and I founded SherriFowler.com in 1991.

 

What are the benefits of hiring Sherri Smith?

My education is in accounting, business, finance, real estate and creative writing.  My career choices, creativity, plus my love for numbers, data, research and writing are what make me unique to freelancing.

My passion for entrepreneurship, organization, problem solving, business systems and workflows have helped me serve my clients well while also building a sustainable business that’s been full of long-term clients for over 30 years.

There are several benefits to small business owners when they hire me.

1. Every service I provide is on an as-needed basis. The benefit to that is that business owners only pay for the service they need; when they need it.
2. Business owners hire me as an independent contractor. The benefit to that is that when business owners pay me they don’t pay me as an employee; which means there’s no payroll taxes, paid days off, or benefits package.
3. I’m a home-based business. The benefit to that is that my overhead is low; which in turn is the reason I’m able to keep my prices low.

All of the above, of course, has not only been a way to benefit my clients, but has also been a way to support myself and my family for over three decades.

Over the years I’ve had thousands of initial conversations with clients that have all been very similar; they thought they were too small of a business to be able to afford to hire an assistant. Yet, they were also struggling to do EVERY THING themselves. 

That’s where I come in. Supporting small business owners is the reason I began my business. My desire to help them hasn’t changed in over thirty years. My support services allow the small business owner to focus on the most important tasks of any business, the ones that produce revenue.

I hope you allow me to share my knowledge, skills, techniques and creativity with you so we can take your dream of entrepreneurship and build an amazing and sustainable business for you.

 

Fun fact:  At age 33 I rededicated my life to Christ by asking him back into my heart. After a rebellious stint God again gave me Grace. #JesusIsKing

 

How SherriFowler.com got its start.

When I created this venture, it was as a side business in order to create documents, patient forms, marketing materials and perform ghostwriting services for Central Ohio Orthotic & Prosthetic Center, Inc. in Columbus, Ohio.

My entrepreneur bug, however, began years prior to starting SherriFowler.com.

 

What is Sherri Fowler, LLC?

Sherri Fowler, LLC is a combination of Smith Ridge Farm and SherriFowler.com. Smith Ridge Farm is located in Adams County, Ohio and is not only a Farm that sells products, but it’s also where my family and I call home.

SherriFowler.com is a home-based business, located on our Farm, and it provides small business owners with behind-the-scenes support services.

Back in 1991, when I began SherriFowler.com, it was somewhat rare to have a home-based business that provided support services. In those days, our finished work was delivered by courier if the business was local or by postal delivery if it wasn’t. There was also phone and in-person conversations compared to email.

Technology has changed all of those old ways of providing support services. Now we can provide a wider array of services to business owners and provide them more efficiently. Whatever can be accomplished inside a brick-and-mortar business office can also be accomplished inside a home-based business….and no one can tell the difference.

While I’ve sold other businesses, Sherri Fowler, LLC remains the one I continue to pour my passion into.

It’s a combination of things that I enjoy; such as, data, business, analytics, research & fact-finding, organization, technology, history and opportunities to freelance. It’s also allowed the opportunity for our family business to develop, which is Smith Ridge Farm.

Sherri Fowler, LLC also combines my love for Jesus, my fight to protect the victims of crimes against humanity and my admiration for all of those who desire to be a business owner.

I’m in my happy place when I get to find opportunities to combine my skills, knowledge, and experience with my passion of helping others build and sustain their businesses.
