use in our first meeting.
Instead, these leaders often tell me they are overwhelmed and don't know what to do next despite their previous success. Things are sliding, and they feel a loss of control.

But what might resonate the most with you is that we're members of the same club: I have been a business owner for 25 years.
Through adapting to changing market conditions, exploring new ways of doing business, and balancing significant personal demands such as caring for aging parents, I've experienced many of the challenges you face. That makes me an in-the-trenches advisor who can relate to you in ways others cannot connect.
And that makes all the difference.
3 ways I help small to midsize business owners like you.
Advisor
This option is for the leader who wants expert guidance and accountability to help them solve specific or ongoing issues in business.
​
Best for: Leaders who have internal resources to carry out the work and no significant constraints to solve these problems.
​
​
Fractional Support
This path is for the leader who wants me to take charge and solve these issues as if I were an employee.
​
Best for: Leaders who are already managing a great deal of responsibility, those without internal resources, and those on a deadline to show results.
Guided Self-Assessment
This free assessment is for the leader who isn't sure what a financial and operational consultant can do for them, and is feeling they need some additional support.
Best for: Owners who aren't sure if they need outside help or are struggling to understand the nature of their problem.

What clients say about working together.
"Debbie helped me reduce my costs and grow my profit margin for a very successful year. She taught me how to track the KPIs in my business that I need to focus on and how to make this consistent." Digital Marketing Agency, Owner
"Debbie has consistently demonstrated her knowledge about the ins and outs of small business ownership. She's provided valuable insights to me over the years, particularly regarding structuring cash flow and tackling employment issues. Moreover, Debbie truly cares about her clients. If an emergency arises, she is available to provide calm, competent, and compassionate guidance. I feel fortunate to have Debbie in my corner, and I recommend her wholeheartedly." Estate Planning Law Firm, Owner
"Debbie has the amazing ability to breakdown the insurmountable and daunting undertaking of networking/bringing in business to manageable, doable tasks and shifts your perspective on what it means/how to network. I learned to recalibrate nagging (ugh!) to following-up (yeah!), quantifying my efforts to determine if what I was doing was actually working and the importance of having (simple) systems in place to help myself succeed. Debbie is the coach you never want to disappoint who makes you push yourself so you both can celebrate in your success." CPA Firm, Partner
"The decision to hire Debbie was an easy one. Right off the bat, she helped us to manage a difficult transition with an employee. She went on to facilitate a hiring process that successfully identified and recruited five new attorneys to the firm.
Debbie also led an RFP process for a new document management vendor and got the implementation phase started. During her time with us, she was able to move several key initiatives forward.
If you are in need of an interim executive to keep the ball rolling during a time of transition, I recommend reaching out to Debbie!" Virtual Law Firm, Founder
"I highly recommend Debbie! She has helped me look at my business from other angles, helped me step outside my box and continue to think of innovative angles and processes to increase my business revenue. In my first 3 months of working with Debbie, my profits increased by 50% over the same period the previous year. Debbie’s strategies, support and connections have been invaluable. She has not only cheered me on in the process but, held me accountable to reach my lofty goals (and then some). Hiring Debbie has been one of the best decisions I have ever made." Marketing Agency, Owner
"I found Debbie’s to be direct, strategic, and insightful. She was able to listen to my ideas, provide valuable feedback, and add insights and new strategies that I found useful and doable. I would recommend Debbie as a practical coach who has given me the confidence to update my business in a dynamic way. I’m excited about the new possibilities." Speech Coach, Founder
