Management Consulting for Owner-Led Businesses in Western Canada
Helping business owners, CEOs, executive directors, founders, and partners tackle the real issues holding their businesses back — so they can run more smoothly, efficiently, and profitably.
THE PROBLEM
Friend: right now, you’re holding together a business that looks great from the outside, but if you pull back the curtain, there’s a lot going on:
There’s $60K of work sitting on the floor (or in your Inbox), waiting to get done - but no clear process to move it out the door.
You’ve got a team of great people - but no one really knows “who does what” (and neither do you).
You are trying to grow by copying your competitors — but their plans don’t fit your business (and are actually probably hurting your bottom line).
Work looks like hours stuck in emails, “quick questions,” and low-margin client work — with no time to focus on the big picture.
Why it feels so hard..
Let’s call it like it is — right now, you’re acting like a really good operations manager.
But your business needs you to be the CEO.
You’re too busy doing low-margin work to take a proper vacation.
You’re losing $$ because work turnaround is too slow.
You’ve got team members ready to step up — but no clear path to ownership, leadership, or partnership.
Your org chart is fuzzy, payroll costs are creeping up, and key metrics like revenue per employee are a mystery.
You want to grow — maybe add a second location, bring in an equity partner, or expand services — but right now, it all feels too messy and undefined.
The result? You’re stuck. The business is stalled. And every decision feels impossible.
But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
THE FIX
Management Consulting
We come in, roll up our sleeves, and help you clean it up — so you can run a business you’re really proud of.
Here’s what that looks like:
Clarifying what you should actually be doing — so you’re leading, not stuck in the weeds (CEO Functions Doc).
Building a clear org chart and team plan — so everyone knows their role, and payroll drives profit (Revamped Org Chart).
Streamlining systems and processes — using practical tech (yes, AI!) so work moves through your office faster, easier, and more profitably (Workflow Doc).
Creating a smart, custom growth plan — not one based on your competitors, but built for your business (Strategic Growth Plan).
Helping you hire for critical roles — even tough positions in smaller markets — and fire where needed.
Equipping your NPO members and board with the financial literacy and governance skills they need.
Because when you know your role, your team’s structure, and how to run your business in 2025 — everything gets easier.
Let me be frank:
Management Consulting is for you if…
You’re a business owner, partner, CEO, executive director, or founder.
You’ve got projects that never seem to get done.
You’re tired of burning time and money on inefficiency.
You’re unsure how to grow — but know it’s time.
You’re open to using tech (including AI!) — but need guidance.
You want Q4 to feel less like chaos — and more like calm confidence.
Management Consulting isn’t for you if…
You want a mindset coach.
You’re looking for a one-size-fits-all course.
You don’t care about the financial health of your business.
You’re not ready to invest time, energy, and budget to make things better.
You’re not willing to take responsibility for where things went sideways.
Worried you don’t have time?
Friend: that’s exactly why you need this.
We don’t do fluffy theory.
Every project has a clear deliverable, timeline, and ROI — whether that’s saving $43K/year with better tech or slashing turnaround from 75 to 30 days.
No big retainer. No complicated software.
Just practical help — so you can lead, not tread water.
