One advisor with no stake in the answer
Owners and founders make a few decisions a year that are expensive to get wrong and slow to undo: what to build, which vendor to trust, whether AI changes anything, what to do about a project that has stalled. They also pass on opportunities that nobody around them is paid to point out. The people recommending solutions usually profit from implementing them. I implement nothing, so my only job is to help you decide well.
Where I help
Where should we use AI?
Which jobs in your business AI would actually change, which ones are hype, and where to start so the first attempt teaches you something.
Build, buy, or change course?
Software, vendors, proposals and the money behind them: which option is right, what each one assumed about you, and how you get out if it goes wrong.
Could technology help us grow?
A new product, a revenue stream, a channel to customers you do not reach today, a capability several of your businesses could share. Whether it is worth building, and the smallest version that proves it.
Something is not working. Now what?
A project that is late, costs that keep climbing, a team and a vendor giving you opposite advice. What is actually going on, and whether to push on, change course or stop.
Security is its own question: what someone could actually do to your business through the software it already runs.
What being on your side means
You run the business. My job is to make sure you are never the least informed person in the room when technology comes up.
How we work
An engagement starts with one specific question, problem or decision. I learn the business and its constraints, read what is on the table, talk to the people who matter, test the assumptions carrying it and lay out the real options, doing nothing included. Then I tell you what I would do and why.
Your team or your vendors carry it out. I stay available for about three months while it unfolds, for the questions, surprises and forks in the road that every plan meets, so you never weigh whether a follow-up is worth a new contract. When the matter is settled the engagement ends, and you call me when the next one comes up. How an engagement works.
No decision on the table yet? Tell me where technology feels like it should be helping and is not, and I will tell you whether any of it needs me.
CPAs, fractional CFOs and attorneys often see these decisions before anyone else does. Here is how referrals work.
