Hey, I'm Angeline!

I’ve been a full-time entrepreneur for over 20 years, combining my background in accounting and business consulting to help Black women turn business plans into profits.

Through A. Smith Strategies, I coach service-based entrepreneurs who are ready to stop overworking and start building businesses that are viable, profitable, and built to last. This isn’t about hustle—it’s about strategy, clarity, and ownership.

I created this work for Black women because I’ve lived the struggle of being undervalued in systems that were never built with us in mind. My mission is to help you build income that reflects your expertise, supports your lifestyle, and honors your values.

When I’m not working, I’m home with Larry (a retired greyhound who lives for naps) and Sasha (a tortoiseshell cat with opinions). I love strong coffee, quiet mornings, and work that feels like purpose.

If you’re ready to build something that truly works—for you—I’d love to connect.
