Start a conversation

We help owner-run businesses between ten and two hundred people make fewer, better decisions about growth, pricing and hiring — with an advisor who sits at your table, reads your numbers, and stays until the plan actually works.

Strategy

A one-page plan your team can repeat from memory.

Pricing

Margins reviewed line by line, offers repackaged.

People

Roles, hiring order and the first manager you need.

Operations

Weekly numbers, meeting rhythm, fewer surprises.

No forty-page deck. A short diagnosis, a clear plan, and help carrying it out.

01

Listen

Two working sessions with you and your leads.

02

Decide

Three priorities, owners and dates.

03

Stay

Monthly check-ins until the numbers move.

Engagements

Six ways we
sit at your table.

01

Diagnostic sprint

Three weeks inside the business: numbers, people, customers. You get a written read of what is really holding growth back.

→
02

Pricing reset

Every offer, discount and margin examined. We repackage what you sell so the work you love is also the work that pays.

→
03

Leadership bench

Who reports to whom, which role to hire next, and how to stop being the answer to every question in the building.

→
04

Operating rhythm

A weekly scorecard, a monthly review and meetings that end with decisions instead of more meetings.

→
05

Succession and exit readiness

Getting the company to run without you, whether you plan to sell in two years or simply take a real holiday.

→
06

Board of one

A standing monthly session with a senior advisor who knows your numbers and will tell you the truth about them.

→
The working session

Fewer decisions.
Better ones.

Most owner-run companies are not short of ideas. They are short of a calm room, the right numbers on the wall and someone willing to say which three things matter this quarter.

Where owners usually call us

Familiar situations.

Every business is different, but the moments that bring owners to us tend to rhyme. These are the patterns we see most, and how an engagement usually begins.

The plateau

Revenue flat for two years running.

Sales are steady, the team is busy, yet the top line will not move and nobody can quite say why.

Typically: a diagnostic sprint, then a pricing reset and one focused growth bet.

The bottleneck

Every decision still runs through the owner.

The company grew, the org chart did not. Approvals queue up and good people wait for permission.

Typically: a leadership bench review and a clear decision map.

The squeeze

Busier than ever, less left over.

Costs crept, prices stayed put, and the most popular service quietly loses money.

Typically: line-by-line margin work and repackaged offers.

The practice

A small bench of
senior people.

The working room

One advisor, start to finish

The person who runs your diagnostic is the person who stays for the follow-through. No hand-off to a junior team after the pitch.

We say no often

If we cannot change something meaningful for you, we will say so in the first conversation and point you somewhere better.

Numbers first

Plain language, always

No frameworks with trademarks, no forty-page decks. A one-page plan your whole team can repeat from memory by Friday.

Questions

Before we
start talking.

Short, honest answers to what owners ask us most in a first call.

What size of business do you work with?

Mostly owner-run companies between ten and two hundred people. Big enough to have real complexity, small enough that the owner still feels every decision.

How long does an engagement last?

A diagnostic sprint takes about three weeks. Most clients then keep a monthly session for six to twelve months while the plan is carried out.

Do you work with our existing team?

Always. The plan only works if your leads help build it, so they are in the room from the first working session.

Will you tell us things we do not want to hear?

Yes, kindly and with evidence. That is usually the part owners say they valued most.

Is the first conversation a sales pitch?

No. It is a working conversation about one real problem. If we are not the right fit, you leave with a useful next step anyway.

Let’s make the
next decision together.

One working conversation. No deck, no obligation, just your hardest question on the table.
