Excited We Connected.

Maybe we can help each other too.

Here's a little about me and what we do. If it makes sense, grab a time below and let's get to know each other.

Let's grab a virtual coffee.

30 minutes. No pitch. Just getting to know each other and what we each do.

I made every mistake before I figured this out.

I ran a construction and manufacturing company for 24 years before selling it in 2025. When I finally got real numbers, everything got easier: hiring, pricing, cash, and eventually selling. FinElevate exists to help other owners get there faster.

What we do

Know what's working, what isn't, and what to do about it.

Financial GPS

See where cash and profit are right now and where they're going.

Profit Playbook

A plan the team can run to grow profit and cash and lower risk.

Elevate Your Team

We get the team running the numbers, so the owner doesn't have to.

We work alongside the CPAs, attorneys, bankers, and coaches already in an owner's corner.

What you'll hear them say

"I don't know where the money goes."
"My bookkeeper is always behind."
"I want to hire, but I don't know if I can afford it."
"I might want to sell someday."
The fit: Owner-run businesses doing $2M to $20M in sales, in any industry: trades and home services, gyms, agencies, retail, coaching, and more. They've outgrown a bookkeeper but can't justify a full-time CFO. Smaller than $2M? Send them anyway. We have an option for them, and I'll tell them straight if we're not the right fit.

What happens when owners get real numbers

3% PROFIT → 38% PROFIT

In six months, a business that could only see sales became a team engaged in growing productivity and profit.

Profit chart: started working with FinElevate

"Before, we just got accounting. We didn't get the optics. Now I have numbers I can actually make decisions off of."

Eric Hinson, Explainify

"It's far more detailed than anything I've ever come across or would ever want to build myself. With FinElevate, you're in great hands."

Phil Harwood, Grow the Bench

"I know that you know our business. And maybe even more importantly, I know that you know me. That made it easier to embrace the challenge you bring."

Tim Spiker, The Aperio

If you ever meet an owner who fits

No pressure and no strings. But if you send someone our way and they become a client, we like to say thank you, either with a gift or a donation to charity in your name.
