DR. OCTAVIA CONNER
FOUNDER & PRESIDENT
Dr. Octavia Conner is an award-winning Virtual CFO, tax strategist, professional speaker, best-selling author, and Founder and CEO of Say Yes To Profits®, a nationally recognized Virtual CFO and tax advisory firm serving founder-led consulting firms generating $1 million to $10 million annually.
With more than 23 years of experience in accounting, finance, and tax strategy, Dr. Octavia brings a rare combination of corporate expertise and firsthand entrepreneurial experience to her work. Before founding Say Yes To Profits®, she served as the Controller and CFO of a multimillion-dollar pharmaceutical company, where she managed complex financial operations and guided critical business decisions.
After leaving Corporate America in 2016 to pursue entrepreneurship, Dr. Octavia experienced significant financial hardship and was forced to rebuild her business from the ground up. That season shaped her approach to financial leadership and strengthened her commitment to helping CEOs avoid costly mistakes, gain control of their finances, and build companies positioned for sustainable success.
Today, Dr. Octavia uses her proprietary Say Yes To Profits® Financial Operating System™ to help consulting firm CEOs understand what their numbers reveal, address financial gaps, and build the financial structure needed to create long-term wealth.
Through this comprehensive approach, she helps CEOs turn top-line revenue into consistent cash flow, predictable profitability, and proactive tax savings while leading their growing companies with greater clarity, control, and confidence.
Her expertise has been featured in Forbes, Essence, FOX SOUL, FOX 5 Atlanta, Authority Magazine, Sheen Magazine, Rolling Out Magazine, She’s Winning Magazine, and numerous other media outlets.
Dr. Octavia is the recipient of the 2024 Most Influential Speaker Award and the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award. She has also been recognized as one of the Top 50 Accountants in North America for two consecutive years and as one of Atlanta’s 50 Most Powerful Women in Business.
Beyond her work with established companies, Dr. Octavia advances financial literacy and entrepreneurship in underserved communities through Octavia’s Helping Hands, Inc. Her mission is clear: to stop small-business failure and create one million profitable CEOs.
