To build your business, it involves being clear on where you want to go and then staying focused on doing the things that make a real difference.
We assist you in defining a plan and provide advice around the aspects that are critical to your success. From there, we build the financial models and/or budgets that will take the guess work out of what you need to invest, and the impact it will have on your cash flow.
Building a conservative financial model will give you a clear picture of where there could be financial “pinch points”, and allow you to proactively get ahead of those so that you're not reacting when they do.
START PLANNING
Most small business owners set their price for products or services based on what others offer for something similar. They don't really understand how much it's costing them to provide that product or service, nor do they know how much of it they would need to sell to many any money themselves.
We'll assist you in understanding your pricing and quoting to make sure you understand both the revenue you need and how efficient you need to be to offer your products/services to the market.
We'll work with you to develop the strategies you require to expand your gross profit and ensure that your overall ratios stay in line so you can remain profitable.
EXPAND YOUR PROFIT
It's easy to get caught up in trying to be everything to everyone, especially when first getting into business.
The drive to be innovative or different can mix up potential customers or clients by presenting business models that simply do not make sense to them (although might make sense to you).
We'll assist you in looking at your product or service offerings and provide you with advice on how it could be positioned and who your target market really is. From there, we help you break down your customer's purchasing process to identify the barriers you may unknowingly have and help you to resolve those. Finally, we build the strategies to get your product or service in front of your target market, including looking at your marketing approach, your aftermarket proposition, and your re-engagement strategies.

Generally business owners are exceptional at the skill, trade or service their business is built on. They learn about operating the rest of the business based on a trial and error approach. This approach can be slow, time consuming and expensive. A business advisor has the expertise and knowledge in the business aspect of building a business and will help you build yours.
01. Why would i need a
business advisor?
We recommend you book a free consultation. This gives us a chance to understand what you are looking to accomplish, and some of your current challenges. If we feel we can help you, then we can discuss the package that would be ideal for you.
02. What if i don't know
what i need?
We are not accountants, however we do deal with financial data as part of our engagements, because the effectiveness of the work we do, is generally demonstrated in the financial results of the company.
We look beyond the numbers of your business, to understand your goals within the business and evaluate the effectiveness of individual components in the business. We then assist you in making the changes which are then reflected in your financial data.
03. how are you different from my accountant?
We do. Technology allows us to work virtually with you as long as there is access to an internet connection. We have many clients who are building their businesses in rural communities and others who live in different provinces and other countries.
04. do you offer your
services virtually?
Whether you realize it or not, if you run your business by trial and error, it is already costing you. It is costing you in lost opportunities. It is costing you in time and money, even though you likely don’t consider your own time. It is costing you as the business environment keeps evolving and you are simply trying to figure out what you need to do next to keep up. Engaging a business advisor, is an investment in your business, but they bring the skills and knowledge that will help you save you in the long run.
05. can i really afford
your services?
No, this is pay as you go…keeps it affordable for small business owners. At the end of each month, you are invoiced for the hours you accessed in the month with 30 day terms. We accept cash, cheque, e-transfers or credit card payments.
06. do i have to pay upfront or is it pay as you go?
