Business Growth Advisor

Business Growth Consulting

I’ll help you scale your business to work for you, not the other way around

Dreaming of revenue growth, passive income, or a life changing exit?

Have you built a successful business, but it still requires you in sales or daily operations?

I can relate. I started my last company with unbridled naivety, an audacious goal, and three common beliefs about entrepreneurship that turned out to be very elusive:

Independence – I would be my own boss
Freedom – I could run my business from a beach and achieve work life balance
Wealth – I would pay myself well and build value towards a passive income or a life changing exit.

Eight years later: I had 50 bosses (employees, clients, shareholders, lenders). I worked long hours “always on” tethered to my business and clients because no one else seemed able to sell our products and services. I was all-in financially with no exit or retirement in sight.

Sound familiar?

“I’ll help you grow your business into one that works for you, not the other way around”

Let me help you implement proven strategies and then guide you towards Freedom, Independence, and Wealth

I believe in the power of strategic liberation for business owners. During 22 years as an entrepreneur like you, and two years as an advisor to entrepreneurs like you, I’ve mastered the art of distilling and documenting your instinctual sales strategies into a scalable, repeatable process and then building teams to execute your vision. I understand that true wealth, freedom, and independence come from transforming your business into an entity that operates and grows without your daily involvement in process, so you can focus on your vision, strategy, and the parts you love. My approach ensures that your business not only continues to thrive but also significantly increases in value, making it more attractive to investors or allowing you to enjoy a lucrative exit or passive income at retirement.

How?

I’ve developed customizable strategies and playbooks that help founder-CEO’s across sectors create personal plans, strategic plans, marketing and sales processes, and then get the right team and resources in place to execute. I coach founders to scale their companies and position them to sell or create passive income on an achievable timeline, because if you work at the company you founded – it’s not a company, it’s a job.

Unlike other consultants, I have actually been where you are, and have proof my system works. I will guide you through implementing proven systems and leading your transition to a profitable enterprise with a clear strategy, a consistent marketing and sales approach, and a management team capable of executing. This system will allow you to disengage from the day to day so you can focus on the parts you love, or set your business up for passive profit, work life balance, or the exit you dreamed of when you started.

“transform the business you built into an entity that operates and grows without your daily involvement in process, so you can focus where you are needed most: on your vision, strategy, and the parts you love.”

Case Studies

The following are a few case studies that I’m really proud of from the last year. I was honored to watch some great business owners tweak a few parts of their companies and get the results their hard work deserved. Giving them freedom to do what they loved.

Double Revenues and Dream Exit: Let me share how I enabled one founder to grow his company from $9M to $18M in revenue in just one year, leading to an $80M sale. It was all about crafting a repeatable sales process, building a committed sales team, and then telling the right story to the right buyer.

Fast Growth in a New Vertical: Hear the story of how I enabled the co-founders of a manufacturing and maintenance company get a foothold in the Aerospace and Defense sector, growing their new vertical $20M in one year, after they waisted 2 years with traditional consultants and no sales in the vertical.

I started my entrepreneurial journey in 2002 when I founded my first company, creating visual effects for Hollywood TV shows, where I won an Emmy for ‘Lost’ and received four nominations. In 2010, I founded an aerospace and defense technology startup and led the company for 10 years through unbridled naivety, survival, bootstrap, dogged resilience, and scaling, it is now operating and growing without me selling. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to sit on numerous boards and round tables comprising diverse companies, communities, people, and points of view. I’ve successfully sold to Hollywood giants like SyFy, Fox, ABC, and Disney, to aerospace leaders such as Boeing, Lockheed, and Babcock, as well as the Canadian government, securing many multi-year multi-million dollar contracts.

"Scott is the strategic growth consultant for many of the companies that rely on the Finance Stack. He works with our mutual clients to get the right strategy, tools, and people in place to grow revenues, which as their fractional CFO and Controllers we get to see first hand."

Brad WilliamsCEO and Founder

Pushing every band member to be the best they can be, using his experience, and bringing playbooks that will make us win.”

Jeff CampbellPresident and Founder

" I consulted Scott to grow my business. He worked with me to build a strategy to increase revenues through scaling my staff that would generate more semi passive income than I was making working full time for myself."

Brittany GullettPresident and Founder

Scott is very easy to get along with, and always has a positive outlook. His mechanisms of using OPSPs and OKRs has driven the company forward in a way that unites the leadership with the company's objectives. His understanding of customers, communications, sales and marketing are fundamental.

Darren StevensCEO and Founder

“I would definitely say on the fly creative problem solving is the main item that comes to mind when endorsing Scott. There have been a few cases in meetings where a potentially show stopping issue has been raised by someone and while the rest of the table is still processing the issue he has offered sound (often out of the box) solutions”

Patrick McfaddenCEO and Founder

“In a challenging situation Scott always sees opportunity, he can find a simple solution to complex problems while listening to multiple conversations to focuses on a solution that fits all”
