I'm passionate about helping small business owners, especially construction, real estate and property management businesses, design financial systems that work.My specialty is in improving operations and processes related to growth, cash flow management, profit margins and risk management. Having attained an MBA and significant work experience as a financial business administration professional, I'm experienced at leading teams and creating structure as an enterprise grows, particularly around accounting and financial standards.As an Enneagram Coach, I also help business owners see their patterns around finances and financial management that don't serve them, helping to resolve these and capitalize on their strengths.Some of the top challenges identified by clients include:• an inability to grow their business;• lack of clarity around their business finances, cash flow and profits;• overspending or underspending;• trying the "newest thing", technology, idea to help, without success;• unable to meet cashflow obligations;• stress and burnout – doing it all themselves; and• not asking for help.I help clients address these challenges by:1) Taking them through a financial management assessment.My first step is to get to know clients, what they want and where they feel stuck. We collaboratively identify gaps in knowledge in the areas of growth, cash flow management, profit margins and risk management.2) Taking them through an Enneagram assessment and educational process.Next, we look at how challenges in the above areas may relate to patterns arising from Enneagram types and how to use the Enneagram to work with these patterns.3) Helping them clarify their vision.4) Identifying and articulating goals from that vision.5) Analyzing the business in terms of growth, cash flow management, profit margins and risk management, to assess what needs to change in those areas to support the vision and goals.6) Educating clients to overcome any knowledge gaps.
