Vickie Olson loves to work with entrepreneurs
to help them grow their businesses.
A native of the Pacific Northwest, Vickie has over 20 years of experience in Business Planning and Financial Management. After receiving her Accounting degree from
Washington State University, she worked in the high tech sector helping organizations navigate through constantly changing market conditions. Shortly after earning her MBA
from Marylhurst University, Vickie launched laPLANette in 2002 with the goal of
empowering entrepreneurs to launch and grow strong businesses. For the past five
years she’s been doing just that, working with businesses in a wide variety of industries.
And in 2007 Vickie became a Certified Business Finance Consultant enabling her to
help
her clients locate financing as well. She also recently participated as a judge in the Washington State University Business Plan competition.
When she’s not helping her clients realize their dreams, Vickie enjoys being on the water
in a sailboat, immersing herself in a good book, traveling, hiking and digging in the dirt in
her garden. She and her husband of more than 20 years also enjoy spending time with
their two daughters, two cats, dog and rabbit. |
I tried with every effort to write my own plan but time and the
fact that I don’t really know how to write a great plan got in the way. I was told about Vickie Olson and to
my wonderful surprise she really knows what she is doing. She was prompt, thorough,
and did quite a bit of research to make it a great plan. It was
worth every penny. I have recommended
her services to a
few friends already. Thanks again.
