I help business owners build something worth selling - and help them sell it when the time comes.
BUSINESS ADVISOR - AUSTIN, TX
I work with founder-led businesses at every stage: improving operations, getting back to profitability, building long-term value, preparing for a sale, and connecting owners with the right buyers when ready.
THE PROBLEM
Most owners will sell one business in their lifetime. Most are not ready.
The majority of businesses that go up for sale never sell. Not because they are bad businesses, but because the owner waited too long to think about what a buyer actually needs to see.
By the time they are ready to exit, the business is too dependent on them, the financials are hard to read, the systems are in their head, and the story is hard for a buyer to trust.
The good news is that every one of those problems is fixable. The bad news is that fixing them takes time, and most owners start too late.
I help owners get ahead of it:
Understand what your business is actually worth today
Identify what is hurting your value and fix it before it matters
Build systems that make the business run without you
Prepare the business so a buyer can understand it and trust it
Connect with serious, vetted buyers when you are ready to sell
WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT
I have been the buyer. I am the operator. I know the buyers.
Most advisors in this space have one perspective. They’ve either studied acquisitions, worked at a brokerage, or run a business. Rarely more than one of those, and almost never all three.
My background is different.
I searched for and acquired a business myself. I went through the full process as a buyer - brokers, deal flow, due diligence, financials, LOIs. I know exactly what makes a buyer walk away and what makes them lean in, because I have been that buyer.
I own and operate a business right now. Wildflower Plumbing and Gas, a trades business in Austin. 2+ years of payroll, hiring, margins, and systems. I am not advising from a distance. I am in it, boots on the ground.
I have direct access to serious, vetted buyers. Not a cold list. Not a listing platform. A curated network of qualified, capital-ready buyers actively looking to acquire businesses. When you are ready to go to market, I am not starting from zero.
I have built revenue and operations teams at scale. Nearly a decade leading SDR, BDR, Sales and RevOps teams inside growing tech companies. I know how to build systems, accountability, and infrastructure that actually hold up.
WHO IS THIS FOR
This is for owners who want more than a job they happen to own.
I work best with founder-led businesses that are successful but still too dependent on the owner. No particular industry. If the business can be acquired with an SBA loan, you are probably the right size. This may be a good fit if:
You want to understand what your business is actually worth today
You’re thinking about selling in the next few years and want to prepare properly
You want the business to run better without you in every decision
Your sales process depends too much on your personal relationships
You’re growing but the operations feel like they’re barely holding together
You want to sell and want access to buyers who are ready to move
LET’S TALK
The first conversation is about your business, not about me.
I lead with education. Before we talk about anything else, I want to help you understand where your business stands, what it might be worth, and what the path forward looks like for your business whether I’m involved or not. No pitch. No pressure.
