Business advisory, strategy & planning, and operations for local businesses
Taking care of your business headaches so you can focus on growth.
Your daily operational bottlenecks get found and fixed for you, freeing up your time so you can watch your revenue increase and your local business thrive.
About me
Operator experience. Economist training. No buzzword decks.
Too many times I have seen local businesses, essential to the community, struggling to stay afloat.
I'm a business advisor and systems specialist with over 11 years across Fortune 500 companies and fast-growing startups — from strategy and planning through day-to-day operations. Now focused on local businesses where operations break down or margin leaks out the door, I map how your business actually runs, find the bottlenecks, and build fixes that get implemented.
Workflow design, systems consulting, margin analysis, and hands-on execution — mapped to your business before I recommend anything. Does this sound like your business?
Proven Results
How I work
Systems over slides. Data over opinions.
Most consultants give you a generic deck. I give you a working model—built from your actual numbers, ranked by bottom-line impact, and written so you can execute immediately. Because I build custom systems instead of selling boilerplate advice, every engagement starts with a deep dive into your operational reality.
Diagnose
You send raw financial or billing data — 12+ months. I build a model from scratch: revenue by segment, pricing trends, cost drivers.
Analyze
I find where value is leaking — pricing gaps, workflow bottlenecks, discounting patterns — and rank fixes by financial impact. Written findings, not slide bullets.
Fix
You decide how far to go: take the report and run, engage for project execution, or ongoing retainer support.
Once we know what's broken, you choose how far to go. Three packages — scoped to where you are today.
Pricing & packages
Honest scope before any commitment.
Every engagement starts with a conversation so we agree on what you need and what it will take to fix it.
Diagnostic audit
$99 flat fee
12+ months of raw financial or billing data in. Written findings on where margin is leaking and what to fix first — out. Data handled under strict deletion protocol. Fully credited toward any project or retainer if you continue within 30 days.

Pricing set after scoping
A scoped statement of work: operational analysis, tool integration, outreach system design, or financial modeling. We discuss your goals first, then I quote a fixed price based on what the work actually requires.
Talk scope →SMB retainer
Pricing set after scoping
Ongoing bottleneck removal, automation setup, and local growth strategy. Prepaid monthly with a use-it-or-lose-it policy. Capacity-limited — I keep the roster small to protect focus and deliver real results for every client.

What clients say
Direct feedback from owner-operators I've worked with.
A lot of consultants just give advice, but Leif actually helped us execute. He showed us exactly where our operations had gaps, dialed in our processes, and co-piloted a youth athlete outreach strategy that hit the ground running.
