The Strategy Behind Delegation with Gala McCray

Do you try to do everything yourself in your business, or are you able to delegate? As a business owner, your CEO time is precious, and how well you use it determines your success.

Joining me today is Gala McCray, Leading Lady Ambassador and lead consultant of Two Arrows, her boutique bookkeeping firm. Gala is more than just a bookkeeper, though; she is a strategic partner who has helped me run the financial side of my business for years now.

In this episode, Gala shares how delegation is directly linked to financial strategy and how to get comfortable with letting go of control.

With nearly 20 years of experience in executive-level operations across non-profits, government, corporate entities, and small businesses, Gala McCray is passionate about helping business owners achieve clarity and control in their financials. In 2018, she founded Two Arrows, taking a leap of faith at a pivotal crossroads to create a business that blends expertise with compassion.

As a former Air Force service member and QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor, Gala brings a methodical, strategic approach to bookkeeping, paired with a deep understanding of challenges faced by service-based professionals. Her signature themes—consistency, comfort, and confidence—are woven into every interaction, ensuring her clients feel supported and empowered to succeed.

When she’s not managing numbers, Gala enjoys spending time with her blended family, exploring the outdoors, and giving back to her local community.
