- How do I know if I need your services?
- If you’re feeling stuck in your business, struggling with financial clarity, operational inefficiencies, or preparing for growth or an exit, my advisory services can help. Whether you need strategic leadership, financial guidance, or operational expertise, I provide the insights and hands-on support to help you achieve your goals.
- Do you work with businesses in all industries?
- I primarily work with construction, trades, professional services, and small to mid-sized businesses that need strategic leadership and financial guidance. However, if you’re a business owner looking to optimize or scale, let’s talk, I may still be a great fit for your needs.
Fractional CEO, CFO, and COO Services
- What is a Fractional CEO, CFO, or COO?
- A Fractional CEO, CFO, or COO is an experienced executive who works with your company on a part-time or as-needed basis to provide high-level leadership, financial strategy, and operational guidance without the cost and commitment of a full-time executive.
- What are the benefits of hiring a Fractional CFO?
- A Fractional CFO provides financial clarity, cash flow management, and profit optimization without the expense of a full-time CFO. I help businesses improve financial health, secure funding, and make strategic decisions to maximize long-term value.
- What does a Fractional COO do?
- A Fractional COO helps businesses streamline operations, improve efficiency, and implement scalable systems. If you’re struggling with team alignment, project management, or business processes, I provide the structure and strategies needed for sustainable growth.
- How often do you work with clients?
- Every engagement is tailored to your needs. Some clients need ongoing weekly or monthly support, while others bring me in for specific projects, strategic planning, or temporary leadership roles.
M&A Advisory and Exit Planning
- What is M&A advisory?
- Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) advisory helps business owners buy, sell, or merge businesses strategically. I provide support with business valuation, deal structuring, negotiation, and post-merger integration to ensure a smooth and profitable transition.
- When should I start planning to sell my business?
- It’s never too early to start planning for an exit. Ideally, you should start at least 2-3 years in advance to maximize your business’s value and ensure a smooth transition. However, if you need to sell sooner, I can still help you prepare and negotiate the best possible deal.
- How do I know if my business is ready to sell?
- A successful sale requires strong financials, efficient operations, and a solid growth strategy. I help business owners assess readiness, improve key value drivers, and position their business for a profitable exit.
- What if I don’t know whether I want to sell yet?
- That’s completely fine. Part of my process is helping you evaluate your options, understand your business’s value, and make an informed decision about the best path forward.
Working Together

- The first step is a free, no-obligation strategy session, where we discuss your business, challenges, and goals. From there, I provide recommendations on how I can help.
- Do you offer long-term contracts?
- My services are flexible. I offer customized engagements based on your needs whether it’s a one-time strategy session, a short-term project, or ongoing advisory support.
- What types of businesses do you typically work with?
- I primarily work with small to mid-sized businesses in the construction, trades, and professional services industries, but I’m open to working with any business looking for strategic leadership, financial clarity, or operational improvements.
