Creating a process and strategy for Building Business Value


Providing change management and coaching support to business owners and their advisors. My business advisory and consulting support service utilizes a body of knowledge called Building Business Value (BBV™) which provides a foundation of knowledge and tools to facilitate business process improvement and guide small business owners.

My focus is providing training, consulting, and business advisory services to a wide range of businesses. Services include lean accounting and work flow, internal control processes, supply chain management, and strategic planning and forecasting. A major component of our niche experience is working with and coaching family owned businesses.

The programs and tools I have developed evolved from working as a controller and CFO, a practicing consultant, a CPA, and hands on experience in operational management. Consulting services range from strategic planning to financial and operational assessments. I am experienced in the dynamics of family business planning, budgeting, lean work flow, activity based cost management, and strategic cost analysis.

In addition to business advisory consulting, we also offer wide variety of training programs for accountants and related activities.
