Danielle Hayden, founder of Kickstart Accounting Inc., is a former corporate CFO who translates sophisticated financial principles for small business owners scaling from six to seven figures. She hosts the CEO Numbers Network podcast, formerly Business by the Books, where she provides strategic analysis of profit margins, cash flow timing, and the emotional psychology of wealth management. Her professional framework focuses on the four pillars of a financial team: bookkeepers, tax strategists, CFOs, and financial advisors. A QuickBooks Online and Gusto partner, Hayden frequently collaborates with female-led networks like The Product Boss and CEO School to lead intensive financial clinics. She recently launched the Money Mindset Challenge, a program designed to help entrepreneurs overcome operational inertia by building manual tracking habits through her physical tool, The Profit Planner. Her work moves beyond compliance-based accounting to deliver data-driven leadership strategies that prepare businesses for bank loans, high-value exits, and sustainable quarterly growth.
