Invaluable for our business…
“We have been working with Stage 1 for some time now given their responsiveness, attention to detail, professionalism, and willingness to go the extra mile, especially on a tight timeline. They have certainly helped us not only from an accuracy of financial statements perspective but also on key business intelligence and KPI reporting that we have found invaluable for our business.”
Adam RossCEO - HEYDAY One of a kind, in a class by themselves…
“Stage 1 is one of a kind and in a class by themselves. From day one, Stage 1 put a highly specialized team around our finance and accounting processes; the team’s accessibility, domain knowledge, and collective output far exceeds what we could ever do in-house. Simply put, Stage 1 has provided Lemon Perfect with the tools to make more informed strategic decisions while allowing us to focus intensely on growth.”

“I’m extremely excited and grateful to have the support of Stage 1 as Saie enters our next phase of growth. I’m fortunate to have partners who not only understand the clean beauty market but more importantly share my vision for Saie’s potential. With their valuable financial guidance, we plan to significantly expand product development and retail presence.”
Laney CrowellFounder & CEO, Saie Beauty.Transformed the way we operate…
“Stage 1 has transformed the way we operate. Once a small “mom & pop” style of management, we are now able to partner together with top-level executives to run our business like the Fortune 500. We are small family business, but Stage 1 has opened up a world of knowledge and opportunity that is now right at our fingertips, empowering us to make growth-centered decisions that impact our entire business. After more than 60 years, we are as strong as ever, largely due to the out-of-the-box thinking that Stage 1 has recently brought to the table, helping us transform old dreams into current reality.”
