Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Saira Fatah. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Saira, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s start with something countless entrepreneurs have had to figure out on the fly – how have you dealt with the rise of remote work?
River Oaks Business Solutions has been evolving since 2017 . Now in 2023 Artificial Inteligence and automation is the new game changer. River Oaks Business Solutions has sucessfully managed to go 100% paperless and remote with more efficency thanks to madated remote work during the ” Covid Era” . Before the great qurantine era our workforce was a bit behind in technology and communication . The past couple of years have really streamlines technology to integrate more than ever in every industry, For example a small business no longer needs to hire a full time employee who not only cost an employer in taxes and possible liability. You can in 2023 fully automate all your employees including CFOs, Controllers, Recruiters , Tech Support . Long term this not only saved you overhead but operating expenses as well .
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
Starting in the banking industry with JP Morgan Chase and Citibank. Saira has been in the Financial Industry for over 12 years, gaining majority of her experience through CFO roles in private equity backed companies, including Oil and Gas, Healthcare, Energy, Construction, Real Estate, and various other industries. She has worked with clients from 5M to 1.8B in annual revenues. She also has vast legal knowledge on Legal Entity Formation Compliance rules in the State of Texas , California, Florida, even recently with Canada
What sets us apart from the competitors are we learn about your vision and whats the most impoartant thing to you in your business short and long term plan. I founded River Oaks Business Solutions LLC in 2017 when I realized that most entrepreneurs do not want to invest in good finance, operations, or human resources at the beginning of their venture. They do not realize that it ends up costing them more long-term to pay for penalties or even material errors to lack of proper setup of their entire operations.
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
We all go through pivots in life. I recently had a health scare with having a tumor that nearly cost me my life in 2022. Sometimes the hurdles in our lives turn out to be the best blessings in disguise. From somone who is a constant workaholic I all of a sudden felt for once I did not have control of my life. It made me realize we are not guranteed tomorrow so we must do things that ignite our soul. In 2021, I started building Nonfungible tokens using Artificial Intelligence Apps. Having a background in finance and going into content creation along with building nfts has truly been a tickle for my creative side which I hope to get more people in it by automating my Business Solutions for as many companies not only in Houston but throughout the US this year.
My dream is to automate mundane work like bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, and financial reporting so the rest of us can have fun being our true selves and creating digital art that will be a unique legacy each of us can leave in this world that never expires.
Are there any books, videos or other content that you feel have meaningfully impacted your thinking?
My philosophy from day one as a first-generation immigrant from Pakistan. I never took a single day of having the opportunity of hard work for granted. I remember growing up in Pakistan most of my childhood, and one time I remember seeing an entire family eat out of a trashcan. I looked around and still remember till this day how not a soul paid attention to this event. That image stuck with me forever and has been my fuel to keep going beyond my limit when it comes to my career. It’s crazy living in the US we all panic when one day or electricity aka “black out” can occur. In the majority of the world electricity and water is a luxury to have. Because of my background, I was able to help get relief for 997 households during Covid which aided them with over 2.5M of relief in rent, utilities, and food. My journey is just getting started in helping as many people in various communities. I would love to help as many individuals in not just Greater Houston but other states and countries as well.
Being born in a third-world Country then moving to the US where our resources are infinite makes me forever grateful, and I would love to be able to do more for our communities that are strugglingwas heavily impacted by how I was raised
