| OUR STORY
Working with companies of all sizes in financial and operational leadership positions, it was frustrating to see these businesses spinning their wheels. The constant state of chaos was debilitating. We set out to cater to small and medium-sized enterprises (MBE) to help entrepreneurs and business owners streamline their financial success. We aim to help each client with a human touch and take a vested interest in your financial performance.
Since day #1, Our firm will not take advantage of clients with billing by the hour. We want to protect your cash flow - not run the taxi ticker. By strengthening our privately held businesses, one at a time, we strive to improve the employment and economic opportunities for local, global, and digital communities.
What started as some fractional project work turned into a network of partners with the same goal - to improve the financial sustainability of our clients with modern technology, current industry best practices, and our human touch. Through years of developing systems and working with lenders and business partners, we developed a whole business program that lets business owners run their businesses hands-off or remotely from an island.
We are trying to positively impact as many business owners as possible. Our concern is your cash flow and future profitability. There are many new ways to engineer business financial operations; we are constantly researching and developing new ways to optimize our clients' performance.
Our human touch is meaningful when managing your finances - our whole business and whole person approach separates us from the rest. Let's grow together!
