Business and Financial Consultant

You are trying to get your business to the next level, but without accountability and knowing your financial picture, the growth will be painful, and you will still do most of the work. Do you think that if you grow by 30% more than the prior year, you will be 30% better off? You might end up down 10% if someone isn’t watching the cash to make sure that the expenses required to fund that growth is covered by the increase in cash received, not just revenues. Many business owners think that all they need is some financial help, but the problem can often run deeper. Along with the skills to explain your financial statements to you, identify areas to improve efficiency, reduce costs, my background shows an ability to keep people on task and accountable. Finance consulting is an important function for every organization and includes weekly updates of metrics, financials and business processes. A management consultant who understands finance goes beyond the daily accounting needs to work as a partner to add its experience to all decisions — because all decisions have a financial element. The value of working with an experienced President/CEO, CFO and consultant is measured in dollars and peace of mind. The goal is to bring more clarity to your business, working with you to paint a clear picture of the future and hold people accountable for working toward the vision. Along the way, having someone ensuring that your decisions make financial sense also brings peace of mind — clarity. You should use me as the one to help implement the ideas, but the implementation is best when it is done in collaboration; guiding your employees to develop the standards to hold themselves accountable. Running a business is squishy because it's all about people. A conversation about your business will save both of us a lot of time. A phone call doesn't cost you anything; message me to set a time. Ready to help you move forward, Dan Hackett P.S. Hourly rates do not often make sense because helping a business is not task-oriented. Let's set a fixed fee to give you the certainty that you are getting value. Turn it off at any time.

"At first, I was concerned because Dan was new to Upwork and had no Upwork work history. However, after I spoke with him on the phone, I immediately knew he was a true professional with vast amount of experience. I proceeded to hire him as a business consultant for our company (a fast growing e-commerce company) and he provided incredible service to the company. He offered a very fair flat rate contract to fly out to Utah, conduct in-person evaluations and analysis, and provide a comprehensive report. His feedback and recommendations were extremely helpful and valuable and it was received well by both the executives and staff. His method is very effective and thoughtful. We are forever grateful for him and his service and we will definitely hire him again. To conclude, I highly recommend him. :-)"
