From a $9K/month side hustle to $380K in annual revenue

Allie spent 20+ years as a CFO in the wine industry.

When she joined Passport, she had a $9K/month side hustle — enough to prove it worked, but not enough to go all in.

She got specific. Not "finance" support or "bookkeeping." Virtual CFO for independent wineries getting them audit-ready in 60 days.

That clarity didn't just improve her message. It created demand she had never seen before.

Today, she has a team handling delivery. Works about 15 hours a week. And she spent four weeks in Portugal with her family last summer.

When you own one problem… clients come looking for you.

"I stopped trying to do everything and finally got paid for one thing."

Every woman on this page spent decades mastering something real—a courtroom, a hospital floor, a boardroom, a classroom. Whatever you've spent your career becoming excellent at,
you can build a consulting business around it.
