MARY MARRIOTT
JUST ASK MARY

Mary Marriott, owner of Just Ask Mary, has spent the majority of her career either owning businesses (four to date) or working with the owners of other businesses to help them run more efficiently and effectively.

An entrepreneur at heart, Mary opened Just Ask Mary in 2007 after spending more than six years working as the personal and executive assistant to the owners of one of the largest RV dealerships in the Southwest. Prior to that, Mary was the owner of a hair accessory and costume jewelry business she purchased in 1995. She took the company from a small start-up, doing about $250,000 in sales, to a major wholesaler doing over $1 million in annual sales to department stores, boutiques, and salons nationwide.

As the owner of Just Ask Mary, she works closely with her clients, providing bookkeeping services as well as strategic planning, cash flow analysis, budgeting, and other services to help them reduce costs and increase profits.

"We assist clients in realizing that their numbers can be a great tool in making plans and decisions for their companies. Our goal is to help them maximize profits and reduce costs."

Mary is certified in QuickBooks, is a certified Notary Signing Agent through the National Notary Association, and has pursued additional training in advanced accounting and bookkeeping methods. Mary also distributes a free monthly e-newsletter with useful information and tips for business owners.

A Las Vegas resident for the past 11 years, Mary has a daughter and three rescue dogs.

My life and business philosophy is, "Take risks. Learn from your failures. Pick yourself up when you fall, dust yourself off, and jump back on that horse. Live life with no regrets!"
