When you run an established 7- or 8-figure business, the challenge is rarely effort.
You’ve already built something substantial. Revenue is real. Customers are coming in. The business works.
But as the company grows, complexity grows with it — and that complexity has a cost.
Margins tighten. Expenses expand. Revenue slips through the cracks because systems haven’t kept pace with scale. Decisions are made based on habit instead of clarity, and the business becomes more expensive and riskier to operate than it should be.
At some point, the question isn’t whether the business is successful, but whether it’s operating as efficiently, profitably, and intentionally as it could be.
That’s where experienced guidance makes the difference.

By identifying where revenue is being lost, where expenses are unnecessarily high, and where systems are creating friction instead of leverage, businesses can materially improve financial performance without chasing new tactics or reinventing how they operate.
For the legacy-economy businesses I've worked with (including wineries, manufacturing firms, senior services, and professional service companies, among others) this often has involved strengthening how revenue is captured and retained, reducing operational waste, and mitigating legal and structural risk that has eroded value over time.
Based in the Pacific Northwest and serving the greater Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington metro areas, I work with business owners to bring clarity to these issues and guide the strategic decisions that lead to stronger margins, better systems, and a more durable business.
If you’re looking to improve how your business performs financially — by operating with greater precision, discipline, and foresight — this is the work I do.
