How an Artist Went From Financial Chaos to Total Clarity in 90 Days With Proximity Outsourcing
Before working with Proximity Outsourcing, Cat Coquilette — a talented artist and creative entrepreneur — was building a thriving business… but behind the scenes, her financials were a ticking time bomb.
The year we started working with her, her financials weren’t updated. Income and expenses lived inside an old Excel sheet.
And although she had QuickBooks, the subscription level was wrong, meaning her books couldn’t track the details her growing business needed.
Cat was overwhelmed, frustrated, and had that nagging founder feeling that many creatives secretly deal with: “Something is slipping… and I don’t know what it is.”
She didn’t know her profit per offer. She dreaded tax time. And with messy data, making strategic decisions felt like guessing.
Sour Strips - 8 Figure Ecom Store (Exit in Less than 2 Years since Hiring Operations Manager from Proximity)
Sour Strips (SS) was already making waves in the specialty candy market when they partnered with Proximity. As a small-but-mighty team, SS had built an enthusiastic following by consistently delivering high-quality sour candy to retailers. Their culture was collaborative and fun—every member was passionate about the product and eager to grow. But rapid market expansion and fluctuating production schedules were beginning to strain their internal processes. SS needed a dedicated operations and inventory expert to help them manage surging demand, tighten order accuracy, and ensure production kept pace with growth.
Proximity was brought in to provide an experienced outsourced operations manager—someone who could hit the ground running and build systems that scaled alongside SS’s ambitions.
