Operations consulting · Louisville & Kentuckiana
I'm Sara — an operations consultant who saves small business owners 5+ hours a week by streamlining the messy stuff: workflows, tools, and the back-office tangles you've been meaning to fix. AI when it helps, not because it's trendy.
Practical, owner-friendly fixes for the parts of your business that shouldn't be this hard.
A clear-eyed look at where your time actually goes, and what to fix first.

I spent fifteen years inside healthcare operations — contracts, credentialing, compliance, and the kind of regulated, document-heavy work where one missed detail costs you months. I'm trained to find the leak before it floods the basement.
Vaught Advisory is the operations partner I wish small business owners had: someone who actually understands how the work gets done, who tells you the truth, and who builds the fix with you instead of dumping a deck on your desk.
I work mostly with women-owned service businesses in Louisville and across Kentuckiana. I'm direct, I'm a little snarky, and I will absolutely tell you when an AI tool is a waste of money.
If that sounds like your kind of consultant, let's talk.
