About Us

Your Business Guardian (YBG) tailors programs to help individuals and companies achieve their personal and business financial goals.

Maria’s mission is to become your guardian angel by assisting you and your business growth, and protecting your financial assets.

Maria started her career at the age of 16 as a sales representative for Estee Lauder at JFK Airport. When she was 17, she took a teller position with JP Morgan Chase and became a US Citizen. She quickly rose through the ranks at JP Morgan Chase, becoming a Personal Banker at the age of 20. At 21, she obtained her investment and insurance licenses. She was promoted to the position of Business Banker and Financial Advisor, where she won several awards for her sales and customer service abilities. At 23, she moved to Citibank as a Vice President and Business Banker. Citibank promoted her to oversee Business Banking for five branches in Queens.

The experience prepared her to go out on her own as an entrepreneur and build four European Wax Centers in Brooklyn. Maria successfully hired, trained, and managed a staff of over 120 employees. All four of her locations were ranked in the top 20 out of 600 operations nationwide in revenue per customer spending. After six years, she sold her locations for a record price per unit. Her banking experience in investment strategies, insurance, and asset protection have positioned her and The YBG Solutions Group to be an invaluable resource to entrepreneurs and businesses in every phase of growth.

Maria Contreras-Bauer is the founder and CEO of the Your Business Guardian.
