Meet Wendy Jestings
Helping Business Owners Grow Faster, Scale Smarter, and Finally Get Their Time Back.
I’m Wendy Jestings, founder of The Business Accelerator. I’ve spent the last 28 years working with financial advisors and wealth managers, and if there’s one thing I hear more than anything else, it’s this: I just don’t have enough time. And what I’ve found is that it’s rarely a time problem it’s a focus problem.
In this guide, I’m sharing the exact strategies I use with my clients to help them reclaim 10 or more hours every single week, without working harder or hiring more people. Just a smarter way of deciding where your time actually goes.
Built From the Trenches. Proven in the Field.
I found my way into business coaching through years of working directly inside high-growth businesses and watching what separated the ones that scaled from the ones that stalled. What I kept discovering is simple but rarely acted on:
Most business owners don't have a knowledge problem they have an execution problem. The strategy exists. The goals are clear. What's missing is the system, the structure, and someone holding the line until it's done.
That insight became the foundation of The Business Accelerator a coaching practice I built around 12-week execution cycles, weekly accountability, and high-performance operating systems that produce results you can measure in revenue, retention, and time.

The Woman Behind the Work.
When I’m not working with clients, I invest in the things that matter most: my family, my faith, and my community. I believe deeply that the whole purpose of building a strong business is to create the freedom to show up fully for the people and moments that count.
That conviction shapes everything about how I coach because I don’t just want to help you build a better business. I want to help you build a better life.
