The perspective of a CFO and CTO, without the hire.
You carry the whole company — the money, the technology, the vendors — usually with no one independent to pressure-test the decisions. After 31 years running my own managed-services firm, I'm that second set of expert eyes, in plain language, for a flat monthly fee.
You run everything. Who checks the money and the tech?
Most owners have an accountant for taxes and an IT provider for problems — but no one independent looking across the whole picture and asking whether you're overpaying, exposed, or investing in the right places. That's the seat I fill.
Four ways I bring clarity and control.
See and control what you spend
I help you read your numbers and get a grip on software, subscription, and vendor costs — the recurring spend that quietly grows until someone independent questions it.
Hold your IT provider accountable
Having been the MSP for 31 years, I know exactly how they price, sell, and bill. I translate the tech, review the contracts, and make sure you're getting what you pay for.
Invest where it actually matters
Guidance on systems, connectivity, and where to put your next technology dollar so it moves the business forward instead of just adding cost.
People who can do their best work
As a certified wellness coach, I help you build a calmer, healthier team — a genuine edge for people who sit at a desk and a screen all day.
Technology & connectivity sourcing.
Beyond advising, I'm an authorized Intelisys sales partner, which lets me source business technology and connectivity for you across a wide range of carriers — often with better pricing and a single point of contact than going direct.
Full transparency: when you source services this way, I may be compensated by the provider. That's a different arrangement from my independent advisory work, where I'm paid only by you — and I'll always tell you which hat I'm wearing.
