Who Are You?

I am Sherrika Sanders.


I am an ever-evolving, black woman. I am a wife. I am a mother. I am also a Career Advancement Coach.


What does this mean?


It means I take the strategies I implemented during my 15+ years in corporate accounting to learn how to go from being:

  • counted out to counted on,

  • talked at to seeking advice from,

  • underpaid and under-valued to paid and seen (you cannot tell me you know my value if you cannot see me for who I am),

  • overworked to knowing when to say "No", and

  • set up to fail only to thrive.


I use my experiences, my professional education, and my coaching education to help others find their place in accounting. My goal is to help mid-level professionals who are:

  • struggling to know where they fit in or if this is even the profession they want to fit into,

  • struggling to excel or need help learning how to use Excel,

  • unassertive or unsure how to stand up for themselves learn how to advocate for themselves (and their pay) professionally.

I help accounting professionals who are willing to help themselves. I help accountants who understand they do not have all of the answers. I am here to provide a helping hand to the person who wants to look in the mirror six months from now with unbelief about the person they were six months ago.

The Transform Tuesdays newsletter was created to help professionals navigate the world of corporate America by overcoming the hurdles hindering them from growing to the next level in their careers, including knowing their value, using their voice, and being authentic to themselves.


During her 15+ years as a corporate accountant in PE-backed and privately-held organizations, Sherrika Sanders progressed through various roles from Senior Biller to Corporate Controller. She successfully managed teams of various sizes within the US, Canada, and Latin America. While her years as an accountant provided much growth, it was during this time that Sherrika was taught to be seen and not heard.  She was constantly reminded she should be proud of being the only one in the room who looked like her (especially with her non-traditional education).  Sherrika felt her voice was taken.  After years of no work-life balance, taking work vacations based on the company's schedule, and being expected to always be available for the needs of the company, Sherrika decided enough was enough and started the transition to find and use her voice.  Sherrika ultimately resigned from her role as Corporate Controller to take a leap of faith and start her own company, Transform the GAAP (Goals Assigned Achieving Purpose), where she specializes in helping accounting professionals understand and overcome obstacles currently hindering them from excelling in their careers.


Sherrika's passion is to equip accounting professionals with the skills necessary to thrive in any setting.

Sherrika believes in a judgment-free zone where all are contributors working towards a common goal. Visit https://www.transformthegaap.com/ to learn more.
