Most founders spend years building a business, only to leave 40% of its value on the table at the exit because they lacked the right systems—or the right partner. My job is to bridge that gap. Whether you hire my mind by the month or my reputation by the result, we aren’t just scaling a company; we are engineering an asset that the market can’t ignore.

Working with me as a consultant is intentionally expensive. My advisory retainers start at $50,000 because this is not “pick my brain” time. This is deep, direct access to the same thinking I use to sell companies and engineer exits in the real world. If you’re looking for cheap ideas, there are books and podcasts for that. If you want someone who lives in the deal trenches to tear into your business like a buyer would, that’s what this is.

I take on a very limited number of consulting clients each year, and most of my time is reserved for owners who are actively moving toward a sale. The goal isn’t to turn you into a forever client. The goal is to tighten your numbers, your narrative, and your deal structure so that when you decide to go to market—whether that’s with me or not—you are walking in with leverage.

If you’re primarily interested in selling your business, my brokerage work will usually be a better fit than a consulting engagement. You’ll still get my full attention and experience, but with fees tied to actually getting the deal done, not endless meetings.
