Operations for SMB Acquisitions.
My name’s David and I provide the “Operational Insurance” needed to protect your investment. From pre-close due diligence to the critical first 100 days—I stabilize the ship so you can focus on the deal.
Operational Due Diligence
I look past the CIM and the spreadsheets to identify the “human and process” risks. I locate the margin leaks, technical debt, and tribal knowledge traps before you sign the personal guarantee.
The Transition Gap
If a key manager quits post-close or the legacy systems break under new ownership, I step in as your Interim COO/GM. I stabilize operations and build the bridge while you find a permanent hire.
Lender Compliance
Using my training as a CFI-certified Credit Analyst, I clean up the P&L and implement the financial guardrails required to keep your SBA or conventional loans in good standing from day one.
A Passion for Protecting Your Investment
Proven Value: Raised revenue by 34% for a brick-and-mortar brand in 2025 and drove six-figure growth for multiple businesses since 2017.
Skin in the Game: Former sole owner of a high-traffic, thin-margin business with full P&L responsibility. I know what it’s like to have your own capital on the line.
The “Doer” Advantage: Over 20 years of boots-on-the-ground experience. I bridge the gap between “spreadsheet theory” and “shop floor reality.”

Zero Drag. No Long-Term Retainers.
Transitional by Design
I am a temporary asset. I fix the issue, document the solution, and get out of the way once the mission is accomplished.
The Bridge to Scale
Use me to de-risk the first 90 days of an acquisition or to professionalize a “messy” business to prepare it for a future exit.
Defined Exit Strategy
We define the “End State” and the total cost before I ever touch your books. You get a clear ROI, or I don’t take the mission.

Service FAQs
How do you charge?
I offer flat-fee Operational Audits for due diligence and simple weekly rates for Interim Leadership. If I can’t provide a clear, quantifiable ROI on the repair, I won’t take the job.
What is your role during Due Diligence?
I act as your “Operations Specialist.” While your CPA looks at the taxes, I look at the workflow, the tech stack, and the staff to ensure the “normalized EBITDA” is actually sustainable.
Do you work on-site or remote?
I am based in North Florida but am available for high-impact on-site “Sprints” or remote oversight depending on the urgency of the mission.
What if I just need a one-time fix?
Perfect. That’s why I’m a handyman and not a full-time executive. I come in, fix the specific issue we identified, and get out of the way.
Are you going to try to sell me software?
No. I’m here to make your current tools and people work better. If a new tool is needed, I’ll tell you, but I don’t get a kickback from anyone. I work for you.
Do you work with companies like mine?
Yes. Most of my work is in Home Services, Hospitality, and Ecommerce – but the ‘clogs’ are usually the same in any industry. If your business has outpaced your current systems or you’re losing money to operational waste, I can fix it.
