Your business is losing money in two ledgers. I find it and get it back.
The Lost Profit Audit. Two weeks. I find at least 4x my fee in recoverable money, guaranteed, and I build the first fix before I leave.
The Two Ledgers
Ledger 1: Opportunity money (the marketing ledger). Calls that go unanswered. Leads nobody follows up with. Customers who spent $22,000 with you and get the same email as everyone else. Money that wanted to come in and never did.
Ledger 2: Hard money (the operations ledger). Payroll spent re-typing data from one system into another. An employee spending 90 minutes a day downloading a portal by hand. Waste nobody measures. Money you already earned, leaking back out.
Every business I've ever audited is bleeding in both. Most owners can feel it but can't see it. I make it visible, in dollars, with your real numbers.
Where I look
Everywhere. This is not a survey or a software scan. I walk your entire business the way I do inside private client engagements, and every layer gets the same question: where's the money leaking, and what's it worth per month?
- Your market position... who your most profitable customers really are, what your competitors do that you don't, and what they all miss that you can own outright
- Your marketing engine... strategy, positioning, offers, messaging, copy, channels, SEO, and the full customer journey from first click to paid invoice
- Your sales machine... pricing architecture, discounting habits, follow-up discipline, and every page and conversation where a ready-to-buy customer can slip away
- Your operations... order flow, double entry, manual reporting, compliance work, and the skilled payroll trapped in tasks a machine should be doing
- Your numbers... the KPIs nobody compiles, the reports that take days, and the decisions being made blind because the data is scattered across systems that don't talk
- Your people and knowledge... what's locked in your head and your best employee's head, what walks out the door when they do, and what your team burns hours re-answering every week
And underneath all of it, the one question owners can't answer from inside their own business: what are you missing that would change your life the most?
What you get
The Money Map. Every leak I find in both ledgers, located and priced in dollars per month, ranked by size and by how fast it can be plugged.
The first fix, built. I don't hand you a report and leave. Before the engagement ends, I build one working fix for the biggest fast leak I find. And not some off-the-shelf tool bolted on with duct tape... a custom AI-driven system, engineered for how your business actually runs, that keeps working long after I'm gone. You control it completely, and your data is yours... always.
A recovery roadmap. What to plug next, in what order, and what each one is worth... including where a custom AI system would have the deepest long-term impact on your business. Whether you do it with me, your team, or nobody, the map is yours.
The guarantee
If I don't find at least 4x my fee in recoverable money, the entire engagement is free. Not discounted. Free.
Read that carefully... the guarantee is on money found, documented with your own numbers. Collecting it depends on your follow-through. That's why I build the first fix myself before I leave.
"How is this different from what I already have?"
Fair question. Your POS, your CRM, your accounting system: they store information. They don't act on it. Nobody in your building is paid to go find the customer who quietly spent $22,000 and make sure she is treated like it. Nobody is measuring the 90 minutes a day of skilled payroll spent on manual re-entry. I find the gap between what your systems know and what your business does about it. Then I build the part that acts.
Why nobody else can do this
Recovering money from a business takes three different professionals... and they've never been the same person:
- The strategist who can read your market, your pricing, and your operation, and spot what you're missing. They hand you a report and leave.
- The marketer who can write words that move money. They run campaigns and never touch your operations.
- The engineer who can build systems. They build exactly what you tell them to build... which only helps if you already knew what was leaking.
I've spent 20 years being all three. I wrote campaigns that sold hundreds of millions for companies like Sony and Corel. I've rebuilt pricing, offers, and operations for businesses from wineries to medical practices. And I personally engineer custom AI systems from the ground up... systems that answer the calls, work the follow-up, move the data, and act on everything your existing software only stores.
That's why the audit works. The strategist finds the leak. The marketer prices what it's costing you. The engineer builds the fix. And you only had to hire one person.
What I build works for your business alone. You have unlimited control, and your data is yours forever. I host it, maintain it, and keep it sharp for one flat monthly fee... no per-seat licenses, no rented $30 tools bolted together. And if you ever walk away, your data walks with you. Intelligent machinery, built for how your business actually works, with impact that compounds for years.
The audit is how we find where the first one belongs.
Proof
- A single campaign I wrote for Corel produced a 29.4% buy rate across a $24M campaign.
- Collectorz grew from $3M to $15M in 24 months.
- A technical services firm went from $20K to $300K per month and later sold for $62M.
- Current client, a winery: wine club redesign, event revenue engine, and per-transaction gains identified in a single working session, without adding a single employee.
Different industries. Same skill: finding where money is lost and building the thing that recovers it.
How it works
Book a 20-minute call. We talk about your business. If I don't believe I can find 4x, I'll tell you on the call and we'll part friends.
Two weeks of audit. I get into your real numbers, your phones, your order flow, your follow-up, your pricing, your website, your competitors, your operations. Your team barely notices me. Your blind spots don't survive.
You get the Money Map, the roadmap, and the first fix, built and working.
Price and availability
I take a maximum of 3 audit clients per month because I do the work personally. When the month is full, it's full.
