/Welcome/
Are you a solopreneur or owner-operator who loves your decision-making autonomy most of the time but occasionally hates not having someone who understands the ins and outs of your particular business and team to help you evaluate those decisions?
I’m Anna Wiggins, a former bridal boutique owner, a current Operations Manager and business course instructor, an Excel guru, and someone described by a former colleague as:
“one of the few folks I've ever worked with that can grab the big picture and then quickly get down to business implementing details.”
I would love to be your objective sounding board, your business partner for a season, your right-hand gal - at a fraction of the cost!

I created, grew, and sold Loveliest Bridal, an intimate Knoxville wedding dress boutique. Prior to that venture, I worked for a large community foundation as a Financial and Administrative Officer. I currently write about my experiences as a wife, preschooler mom, entrepreneur, and dementia caregiver at untetheredtangles.substack.com and serve as a part-time Operations Manager at Aught, an organization serving and supporting female entrepreneurs nationwide.
I received a B.A. in Economics from The University of Georgia and a Master's of City and Regional Planning from Clemson University, where my thesis research focused on Microfinance for U.S. farmers. I facilitate the “Starting a Business 101”and “Growing a Business 201” programs offered through Knoxville Entrepreneurial Center and volunteer with Junior Achievement. I am passionate about financial literacy at all ages.
My greatest roles so far are as wife to Gavin and mom to daughter Luna.
