About

I am financial consultant/advisor who has been in the financial services industry for the last 8+ years and a business owner specialist for the past 5 years. I've gained experience in several different industries over of the years, however most of my experience has been with construction & tech companies.

Inside of your business we offer CFO services, business consulting and/or valuation services for a monthly retainer or a flat fee. Outside of your business we offer investment advice, tax strategy, real estate investing, asset protection strategy, insurance review, estate planning & more for an hourly fee, monthly retainer, flat fee or AUM fee.

In one example, we were able to help one of our clients go from $1.74million of annual revenue to $10.003million in 1 year. More importantly, we were able to strategically use the profits of the business to buy $3mill worth of investment real estate in 1 year. In addition, by structuring the real estate purchases strategically and implementing a tax strategy, we were able to save the client an additional $200k+ in taxes for that tax year.
