Founder & Business Advisor

Clarity for founders who are ready to see what's really happening.

I help founders understand the connection between tax, cash flow, structure, and timing—so decisions feel grounded, not reactive.

About

Why I do this work

I spent over 15 years building and running an accounting firm, working closely with founders across a wide range of industries.

Alongside that, I built GO BARE, a product-based brand that scaled from idea to a nationally stocked business across major retailers.

Between advising businesses and building my own, I saw the same issues repeat again and again. Cash tied up in stock. Decisions made without understanding tax timing. Growth that looks good on paper but quietly strains the business.

"Founders don't fall behind because they're careless. They fall behind because no one ever clearly explains how tax, cash flow, structure, and timing actually connect."

That gap is where my work now sits.

That's what I bring to every session: the numbers and the decisions behind them. I help founders understand what's really happening inside their business so they can move forward with confidence, not guesswork.

The Process

What to expect from your session

This is a practical, working session focused entirely on your business. Not a presentation or a lecture—it's a conversation with direction.

01

Before

You'll answer a few questions so we can use our time properly. No formal prep required—but the clearer you are on where you feel stuck, the more value you'll get.

02

During

We'll walk through your business together. How tax, cash flow, structure, and decisions are playing out in real time. I'll ask questions, challenge assumptions, and explain things plainly.

03

After

You'll leave knowing exactly what to do next, what can wait, and where to focus your energy—no more second-guessing.
