I Can Help You With…
My Approach
Sales & Raising Money
Positioning your business in the way lenders and investors want to see.
I help you frame your story, numbers, and projections so they resonate with the people writing the checks. It’s not about spin, it’s about clarity and context. A well-told financial story makes funding more likely.
Every company and seller presents their best angle. I stress-test the numbers, check assumptions, and compare against industry norms so you see the real risks and rewards before you commit.
Investing & Buying a Business
Looking past the pitch to understand the real value.
Financial Tutoring & Advisory
Making finance simpler and useful.
Finance doesn’t have to feel intimidating. I break concepts down in plain English, explain why they are useful, and make sure you understand how investors and lenders think, so you can make decisions with confidence.
Processes & Services
Streamlining how you spend your time, effort, and money.
I build systems, checklists, and dashboards that save you time and help you focus on running your business. Simpler structures lead to better decisions, less stress, and more clarity.
