Why owners work with me
I’ve run a small business,
not just advised one.
Before and during my consulting work I owned and operated my own boutique gym — so I know what it’s like to make payroll, manage cash, and carry the weight of every decision. That owner’s perspective shapes how I keep your books and how I advise you.
