How I Work

How I work.

I’m a farm business advisor. I help independent farm and agribusiness operators with the things that keep them up at night — the numbers, the technology, and the plan for what’s next.

01

Understanding your numbers

Bookkeeping, financial analysis, and making sense of your farm’s financial picture. I help you understand where your money is going, what’s working, and what isn’t — so you can make decisions with confidence instead of guesswork.

02

Choosing the right tools for your farm

Software selection, setup, and making technology work for your operation. I’ve spent twenty years in technology — I know what’s worth buying and what isn’t, and I won’t sell you something you don’t need.

03

Planning for what’s next

Business planning, succession, growth strategies, and grant applications. The big decisions that shape your farm’s future, approached with the same discipline I’ve applied to business strategy for twenty years.

04

Cutting costs without cutting corners

A clear-eyed review of what you’re spending on and where the waste is. I’ve found $312K in annual savings for a single client by mapping every cost and eliminating what wasn’t needed. The same approach works for farm operations.

How engagements work

1

Free consultation.

Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute conversation about your farm and what’s not working. No pitch deck. No pressure. Just an honest assessment of whether I’m the right fit.

2

A deeper assessment.

If it makes sense to go further, the next step is a structured assessment of your operation — the numbers, the tools, the plan. What it reveals determines what you actually need: a quick, focused project, ongoing advisory, or something bigger.

3

A clear proposal.

Based on what the assessment shows, I give you a clear proposal with a fixed price for the scoped work. No surprise hourly billing. No open-ended commitments. You know what it costs before you start.

4

We get to work.

From there, we work together either on an ongoing basis (monthly advisory) or on a specific project (business plan, technology review, grant application) — depending on what the assessment showed you need.

What I Don’t Do

I’m not a CPA. I’m not a lawyer. I’m not an agronomist. If you need those, I’ll tell you — and I’ll help you find the right person.

What I do is sit on your side of the table and help you make sense of the technology, the finances, and the plan — so you can spend less time at the desk and more time running your farm.
