Why We Coach

Leaders know exactly what to do… if they could only ask themselves.

During the 20 plus years in my accounting practice, I found that most business owners I worked with had no time to hear themselves think. They desperately needed someone who “got it” and could be a sounding board so they could solve their management issues and develop strategies to achieve their goals. This is where I found my passion for coaching and discovered the immense value that a trusted advisor can bring to a client.

We have effectively negotiated tax settlements on the Federal and State levels. And, we have worked in publicly-held companies, business turnarounds, restructuring and Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
