I love helping startups turn their ideas into plans, tell their stories, and achieve their goals. I have studied business - and startups - extensively, having earned an MBA from the University of Cincinnati and a Ph.D. in Entrepreneurship from the University of Louisville. Over the past 10+ years I have worked closely with 100’s of startups and growth-oriented businesses around the world developing business plans, financial models, pitch decks, confidential information memorandums, and other business and marketing materials. I've also taught business planning, entrepreneurship & innovation, and entrepreneurial small business to undergraduate and graduate students, so I have a deep understanding of how to help guide founders and business owners through the planning process. I bring a rigorous, well-researched approach to business planning and strategy and a vast array of knowledge to help you with your business planning needs. ✰ Services ✰ The most common type of business planning services that I provide include: 🗹 Business Plans: Prepare a customized Business Plan for your business tailored to your specific business needs including market research, financial projections and structure and storytelling. 🗹 Pitch Decks: Prepare an investor ready Pitch Deck with your startup or company narrative including content and design. 🗹 One-Pagers: Prepare a One-Pager summary of the business opportunity. 🗹 Financial Projections: Prepare editable financial models for your startup, including 5-year financial projections (Pro Forma P&Ls, Cash Flow, and Balance Sheets), sensitivity analysis, and KPIs. 🗹 Confidential Information Memorandum- Prepare a Confidential Informational Memorandum presenting your business for acquisition or sale. 🗹 Business Plan and Pitch Deck Consulting & Edits- If you already have a business plan or pitch deck but need to update its contents or make it investor ready, we can provide feedback, suggestions, and help you through the process of updating or revamping your existing materials. ✰ Types of Business Plans ✰ The type of business plan you need will likely be determined by its intended purpose. Types of business plans that I specialize in include: 🗹 Investor Business Plans 🗹 SBA Business Plans 🗹 Bank Business Plans 🗹 Immigration Business Plans 🗹 Startup Business Plans 🗹 Strategic Business Plans ✰ Turnaround Times ✰ Although the turnaround times for each project may vary depending on your specific needs, the traditional timelines for most business plan projects are 1 to 4 weeks. ✰ Business Plan Breakdown ✰ First time startup founders usually spend between 100-200 hours to write their business plan. With my efficient (yet thorough) business planning process, we can help you craft a well-researched, well-strategized business plan in a fraction of the time. 1) Business Consulting (2 to 4 hours) 2) Market Research (4 to 8 hours) 3) Financials (4 to 12 hours) 4) Writing (4 to 12 hours) 5) Updates & Edits (2 to 4 hours) ✰ Why Work with Me? ✰ There are a number of benefits of using professional business planning services, like: 🗹 Working with a vetted expert 🗹 Proven track record of success 🗹 Have created materials that have helped entrepreneurs raise more than $100 million 🗹 Inside knowledge of the business planning process 🗹 Save time and frustration 🗹 Professional-level business plans and decks Let's talk more about your business planning and strategy needs and how I can help your ideas take off.

    I am new to Upwork but not business formation and compliance. .I am a CPA that spent 23 years reviewing applications from organizations that wanted tax exemption from the federal government to ensure they met the criteria based on federal tax law. When reviewing these applications, I found many that were not properly formed or not in compliance with state or federal government regulations. I retired and started this business because I saw such a need for it. I can provide business formation and compliance services for all 50 States and not limited to non-profit organizations.
