Consulting Built for Owner-Operators
Not slide decks. The handful of moves that actually change the business.
Most small business consulting is either surface-level marketing advice or enterprise frameworks that don't fit a 5-to-50 person company. This is different. It is private, practical work with an operator who has built and sold businesses — focused on the small number of decisions that decide the next twelve months.
Who this is for
- Owner-operators between $250k and $10M in revenue.
- Service businesses, agencies, and professional practices.
- Founders whose business is working but stuck at a ceiling.
- Owners planning to hire a first leader, exit, or reinvest.
What we work on
Offer and pricing
What you sell, who you sell it to, and what it should cost. Most ceilings live here.
Team and roles
First hires, first leaders, and the org chart that lets the owner step back.
Operating rhythm
A weekly cadence that keeps the business honest — numbers, priorities, and follow-through.
Owner clarity
What the owner actually wants — income, time, exit — and how the business should be shaped to deliver it.
