A New Way to Scale, Backed By a Proven System

I know how leaders feel and what they go through because I’ve been there — in my business and as a CPA working with clients.

I’ve spent the last 20 years serving leaders and teams and navigating the issues of organization scalability and sustainability.

Supporting clients as they manage cash flow, invest for expansion, or sell their business is a constant reminder of two principles:

  1. Money tells the story of your business, and how money moves reflects decisions made by a person.
  2. Unfortunately, a leader’s instincts will eventually fail when navigating a new terrain.

Through keynotes on my framework, Simple ScaleUp System, I share what unlocked growth for me and my clients. Combining a mindset shift – from thinking like a startup to thinking like a scaleup – with a proven system can allow you and your business to gain clarity, make smarter decisions, and drive organizational growth.

Let me equip your audience with a more effective way to travel from startup to scaleup.
