Three years ago, the owner of a Florida roofing company stood on the edge of burnout.
He had left a stable job to launch his own business—motivated by dreams of financial freedom, time with family, and building a legacy his kids could be proud of. But reality had other plans. His $1.8M revenue was shrinking. Margins eroded. Cash dried up. And despite working 70 hours a week, the one thing he couldn't fix was the growing resentment at home.
He was brilliant at roofing. But the business of business? That was foreign ground.
In a moment of desperation, he reached out to a boutique consulting firm known for transforming small and mid-sized businesses. He feared being overlooked—just another tiny fish in a sea of templated solutions.
Instead, he was matched with a former Fortune 500 CEO who rolled up his sleeves and got to work—not just with spreadsheets and KPIs, but with empathy and vision.
Over 12 weeks, everything changed:
Cash flow improved by 30%
Sales jumped by 45%
Systems replaced chaos
Time was reclaimed—for his family, and for himself
When the engagement ended, the owner didn’t just have a healthier business.
With tears in his eyes, he told the CEO, "You didn’t just save my business. You saved my marriage."
This is what real consulting looks like—not cookie-cutter advice, but custom-fit transformation.
Because when you empower small businesses, you change lives.
