Jill Scalisi embodies the characteristics you would expect of the woman behind a revolutionary anti-aging skincare line; accomplished, well-educated, surrounded by top tier scientists and driven to share her precisely formulated success with you. After graduating from Georgetown University and moving to New York City, Jill kicked off a successful 20-year career at two of the top Investment Banking firms. Three years ago, at the top of her professional game, her skin cancer diagnosis shifted her focus. When she found that a scientifically proven anti-aging SPF 30 moisturizer did not exist, she combined forces with leading scientists and chemists to create it. Today, as the Founder and CEO of the Scalisi Skincare, Jill offers four products in which she is personally confident will repair, protect and transform complexions.

In a market where age-defying beauty is often promised but not always attained, how do you rise above the hype? By creating products steeped in cutting-edge science that yields exceptional results. Discovering the secret to youthful, healthy skin is a tall order. Fortunately, many years of meticulous research, development, testing, retesting, and candid feedback cracked the code. Combine an elite team of bio-pharmaceutical chemists with 10 years of research, remarkable patented and trademarked peptide technology, and impressive clinical results. Top it off with a passionate leader and you have the unrivaled formula for Scalisi Skincare. Our success is built on integrity. Without it, we could not promise you precisely formulated reparative and preventative anti-aging skincare that feels as luxurious as silk. Our cause is the Skin Cancer Foundation, to which we donate $5 for every single Anti-Aging SPF 30 product purchase. Our mission is to inspire you with news that can turn back your skin’s biological clock, to enlighten you with complex science in simple terms and – most importantly – to make you glow inside and out with visible results.

The Situation:

"As an entrepreneur, there are a million variables that stand between where you start and actual success. The largest risk everyone faces is financial risk. But this is more than just financing your company; rather, it is being able to track the flow of cash and having accurate and up to date financial statements. Your worst dream is you are highly successful and a potential investor comes in to evaluate your company and they determine your books are inaccurate - and they walk away. Quick books may be used by millions of people but since I am not a trained accountant, I am not comfortable with making decisions on how things should be categorized. Since we are a start-up, it isn't economical to hire an entire team to do bookkeeping and accounting. I was so concerned about not mitigating this part of the financial risk that I almost didn't start my company." --Jill Scalisi

The Solution:

"Hiring Smart Books was one of the best decisions I have made to date. I have outsourced an entire department to professionals who love to do what I dread - bookkeeping and accounting. We have created customized protocols for tracking everything from partially paid invoices to when the cash actually leaves the bank account. Meticulous to the last penny - I am fully confident that my financial risk has been mitigated and I can focus on what I am supposed to do – build the company." --Jill Scalisi
