Each One Help One

A grandfather teaching a child how to read in St. Thomas Jamaica might sound like a small moment, until you hear what it grows into. We sit down with Sheron Telfer Rose Samuels, a financial executive, nonprofit founder, and humanitarian leader, to trace the real roots of financial stewardship and community impact. Her story is grounded in St. Thomas, Jamaica, where “we didn’t have much, but we had community” and where church leaders, teachers, and neighbors quietly formed the village that helped her rise. From there, we move into the practical side of leadership: building SSERS Financial Group, serving nonprofits and small businesses nationwide, and why governance matters as much as mission. Sheron speaks candidly about launching her firm after devastating loss, pushing through to complete her master’s degree, and turning purpose into a real operating model. If you care about nonprofit accounting, board oversight, or what a fractional CFO can do for an organization that cannot afford a full-time executive, you’ll leave with clear takeaways and sharper questions to ask. We also talk about what’s next: the Patron House Foundation, focused on humanitarian relief and education through mentorship, scholarships, and tutoring, with a reach that includes the Caribbean. Sheron shares how she mobilizes volunteers, why she brings her children into the work, and how a new podcast will spotlight leaders who are lifting underserved communities.
