I find the money your operations are hiding

Most consultants hand you a strategy deck. I hand you measurable results — costs reduced, revenue recovered, systems that actually work.

Cost Reduction & Recovery

Systematic identification of misallocated costs, billing leakage, and operational waste. I ask the questions nobody else thinks to ask — and follow the money until the books are clean.

Revenue Optimization

You know you're leaving money on the table. I find exactly where, build the systems to capture it, and put accountability in the right hands so it stays captured.

ERP & Systems Implementation

20+ ERP implementations across industries. I bridge the gap between what leadership needs, what the system can do, and what your people will actually use day-to-day.

Business Plans & Financial Projections

Turned-down-by-five-banks kind of packages — rebuilt and approved within a week. Financial models that reflect actual business conditions, not wishful thinking.

Process & Workflow Redesign

Manual work leads to mistakes and kills accountability. I redesign workflows so information flows to the right people, decisions happen faster, and errors get caught before they cost you.

Not sure where to start?

Let's walk through your operations and find the highest-impact opportunities. No pitch deck, no fluff — just a conversation about where the money is.

Outcomes, not deliverables

Every engagement starts with asking the right questions. Here's what happens when you get the answers.

Aviation Cost Recovery & Audit

Aerospace Completion & Service Facility

Situation

A large aerospace completion and service site had costs sitting on their books — not allocated properly in a homegrown accounting system. Audit was approaching and a major ERP migration was planned.

Approach

Systematic investigation. Applied logic, asked the right questions, and followed the money to the correct GL accounts. Sometimes the answer is as simple as asking, "Where would I physically find this asset?"

Outcome
Passed audit Enabled SAP ECC conversion Costs properly allocated
Aviation Acquisition & Valuation

Aircraft FBO Acquisition

Situation

Client was negotiating the purchase of an aircraft fuel and repair facility. The seller's asking price was in the $1.7 million range. Something didn't add up.

Approach

Developed a business plan and financial projections that accurately reflected the business's current conditions — not the seller's optimistic narrative.

Outcome
Purchase price: $750K (down from $1.7M) $525K seller carry-back negotiated $950K saved for the buyer
Restoration Revenue Optimization

Restoration Company Revenue Recovery

Situation

A restoration company owner knew he was leaving money on the table — different insurance carriers, different adjusters, manual processes leading to mistakes and zero accountability on site.

Approach

Built a system that maximizes revenue by pushing responsibility where it belongs — making it easy for sales managers and techs to provide accurate information directly, eliminating the manual work that caused errors.

Outcome
Revenue maximized per job Accountability pushed to the field Now a SaaS product: betterbill.ai

RH

I've been on your side of the table

I've had the satisfaction of helping dozens of companies with business plans and financial projections that allowed them to focus on what mattered most. There's a special thrill when clients come in saying they were turned down for loans by five different banks — and I can look at the package, redo it, submit it, and get it approved within a week. Working in corporate finance then doing 20 ERP implementations gave me an unlimited number of ways to help organizations work better, smarter, and more efficiently.

I follow the money. Whether it's misallocated costs, underpriced services, or revenue slipping through the cracks — I find it, document it, and build systems to stop the bleeding.
I ask the right questions. Twenty years of operations and finance taught me that the biggest problems are usually hiding behind assumptions nobody thought to challenge.
I build what I recommend. No handoff to a dev team. No strategy deck that sits on a shelf. If the solution needs a system, I build the system. If it needs a spreadsheet, I build that too.
I make it stick. Change management is part of every engagement. Your people have to actually use the solution, or it's just an expensive decoration.
