ABOUT SARAH DEANGELIS

Twenty years in accounting taught me two things: numbers tell the truth, and process sets you free. I launched SageDigits Accounting so small business owners get both—plain-English advice, fixed-fee clarity, and a monthly close you can bank on.What I do (end-to-end):• Bookkeeping clean-up → monthly close with cash-flow & KPI visibility• Payroll (PEO-friendly) with filings and year-end reconciliations• Controller & advisory: budgets, forecasts, pricing, dashboards, “should we?” calls• Tax preparation & year-round planning—smooth filings, fewer surprises• Tech stack, but smarter. Tool-agnostic selection, implementation, integration, trainingWhy I’m trusted:• Senior-level controller leadership across multi-entity portfolios—owned GAAP reporting, client relationships, and month-end cadence across fully remote teams• Intuit Accountant Council Member (2021–2023)—product feedback & practitioner advocacy• Credentials that matter in practice: CPA (GA), CPP, QBO ProAdvisor L2, BILL Accountant, Gusto (Payroll + People Advisory), Fathom Advisor, Carta Partner—so I can design the right process, not just plug toolsWins I’m known for:• Standardized month-end close playbooks that tightened timelines and reduced rework• Built ASC 606 mid-month revenue procedures and a CECL (ASC 326) approach for cleaner estimates• Wrote a WISP aligned to FTC/IRS guidance and an IT BCDR program with clear RTO/RPO targets• Launched transparent fixed-fee packages so owners know the price before the work startsEarlier in my career I cut my teeth in payroll, AP/AR, and reconciliations—and even trained 200+ volunteers coordinating community programs. Translation: I can wrangle teams, processes, and deadlines without drama.
