We’re here to help business owners, especially in the agriculture and ranching world, gain financial clarity, confidence, and control. Our approach is rooted in real-world experience, built on a foundation of integrity, and driven by a deep understanding of what it takes to run a business from the ground up.
Meet Charla
Hi, I’m Charla Farris, founder of A Cut Above Business Solutions.
​
You could say business is in my blood. I grew up on a ranch, fell in love with numbers early on, and carried that passion into a career spanning corporate America, business ownership, and now, operating a working cattle ranch with my husband. That hands-on experience gives me a unique edge when helping other entrepreneurs—because I’ve walked in your boots, too.
They say experience is the best teacher, and I’ve made it my mission to use everything I’ve learned to help your business succeed—whether you're wrangling spreadsheets, managing payroll, or preparing for tax season.
When I’m not crunching numbers or coaching clients, I’m spending time with my husband, our grown children, and our precious grandchildren out on the ranch. Life is full, and I bring that same heart, honesty, and commitment to every client I serve.
