Our story

We’ve spent years inside manufacturers and distributors—leading teams in marketing, operations, finance and supply chain. We’ve seen what happens when growth outpaces systems: cash gets trapped in inventory, margins erode and leaders end up firefighting instead of leading.

Who we work with

We work with founders of manufacturing and distributions companies. These companies are growing, but feel the strain in margins, cash flow or day-to-day operations. Most of our clients are owner-led or family-owned businesses who want a hands-on partner.

Reviews

What people say about us

The team quickly connected the dots across sales, operations, inventory and supply chain, identified where value was being lost and gave us a step-by-step formula.

CEO, Medical Service Provider

Lisa helped us reduce unnecessary cost, improve working capital and create better visibility into the business. Every recommendation was tied back to measurable business value.

CPO, Contract Manufacturer

Dorothy helped us double our annual revenues by focusing our marketing and sales efforts on our top customers. We were stretching ourselves too thin prior to getting help.

CEO, Resin Converter

Their ability to get into the trenches with our teams and really carve out the problems is different than the other consultants we have worked with. And we realized savings because of the strong implementation support!

CFO, Medical Distribution

Let’s talk

If you’re growing and want your profits, cash and operations to keep up, we’d love to talk.
