From guessing to knowing.
Revenue is up and the business somehow feels worse. That’s not a sales problem; it’s what happens when volume outruns your processes, your team, and your view of the numbers.
The Growth Acceleration Roadmap finds what’s taking the money and the time, and gives you the three fixes that matter the most.
WHAT YOU MAY BE EXPERIENCINGYou might be here because…
You had a good year with more revenue than you’ve ever done, but the bank account doesn’t reflect it and you couldn’t say with confidence which parts of the business are actually making money.
1
Scaling faster has meant you doing more, and you’re ready to build the right infrastructure to support where your business is at.
2
Pricing and contracts run on instinct. You suspect you are a few points low, but you don’t have the numbers solid enough to feel confident in the right pricing.
3
The business feels hard to predict. You’re not sure when revenue is coming, cash isn’t always there when you need it to be, and you don’t know where to start in understanding it.
4
At this stage, growth doesn’t fix the underlying foundation, it magnifies the fundamentals. A markup that’s two points too low costs you a little at $1M and a lot at $3M. A process that lives only in your head is manageable at a few orders a month and impossible at more. All the problems you had last year are still there; it just got more expensive.
That’s what the Growth Acceleration Roadmap is for.
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENSHow the Growth Acceleration Roadmap works
You fill out the questionnaire and share your numbers. A detailed intake across sales, pricing, operations, financials, tools, and team including your P&L, balance sheet, cash flow statment, and however your org is currently structured. This is the part that requires some time, honesty, and real documents, but it makes the output worthwhile.
1 - Full business analysis
We spend 60 minutes together. I come with questions, not a presentation. We go through what I’ve found, I follow up on the places the numbers don’t explain themselves, and we align on what matters most before I present a recommendation.
2 - Review session
A full written assessment, your three priority areas with the reasoning behind each, a 90-day action plan with specific steps, and a video walkthrough so you can hear me talk through it rather than decode a file. No 80-slide deck. The kind of readout you’d want from a partner, not a vendor.
3 - Your roadmap delivered
WHAT I TEND TO FINDEvery business is different, but at this stage, the findings cluster in 3 places:
You’re underpriced, and you know it.
Not by a lot, but by 2 or 3 points of markup, or a rate you set when you were smaller and never reset.
Result: At your volume, a few points is the difference between a good year and a great one.
The business runs on what’s in your head.
No documented process for how an order moves from approval to vendor payment to invoice. No standard operating procedures for the most time consuming workflows.
Result: Which means hiring is not an option as you would have to do the training, and the business stalls when you’re unavailable.
Your bank balance is your reporting.
No view of profitability by product or project or channel. It’s hard to find monthly numbers you trust. Expenses that grew with revenue and never got questioned.
Result: You aren’t clear on the numbers to understand how well your business is doing.
They are connected. The financial clarity is usually what unlocks the pricing confidence, and the process work is what lets you grow without adding hours.
WHY WORK TOGETHER
Why founders trust me
I spent my career on exactly this problem, at a much larger scale. As an executive at Hudson’s Bay Company, I led private brand merchandising and global sourcing across Saks Fifth Avenue, Saks OFF 5TH, Lord & Taylor, and Hudson’s Bay, which is to say I spent years on pricing, markup, and buying goods, professionally, at volume. Before that I was a strategy consultant at Booz & Company, and started out in investment banking and private equity, so I have experience on the financial side as well.
Here’s why that matters to you: most advisors who are good at numbers have never run operations, and most who are good at operations can’t read your P&L.
You get that experience sized for a founder-run business, from someone who will tell you the truth thoughtfully and kindly.
