As a CPA, I have an extensive background in accounting, business management, sales, marketing etc. I became a business broker more than 10 years ago when I decided to try to do something more helpful to my clients. I was somewhat disillusioned when I found that most business owners were in the position of "having to sell", rather than choosing to sell. Most of the time, I found those sellers were forced to accept a much smaller price than they wanted and or needed. It was then I decided I'd try to be a little different by helping the owner develop the business by making simple, easy to implement, changes designed to increase sales, and/or decrease costs. Now, I offer products/services business owners can use to raise value and get what they want/need when the time comes to sell.
