We start by understanding your vision for your business. Then, through conversation and document review, we evaluate the current state of your business. By knowing where you are and where you want to be, we can then identify the key topics and activities to focus on to achieve the outcomes you want. We want to help you build your business with the end in mind.
We encourage clients to define what a successful relationship looks like for them. For those owners in the growth stage of their business, some define success as feeling less overwhelmed, more focused, less stressed, or more confident in their role as owner and visionary. This is often the result of us working together to do things like:
- Understanding and making business decisions using your financial statements
- Updating pricing methods
- Creating financial projections aligned to growth activities
- Creating and executing consistent brand building and business development activities
- Sharpening your target audience and communicating your value proposition
- Making hiring decisions to support growth
- Process documentation and delegation
- Engaging other professional advisors to make strategic decisions and reduce risk
- Evaluating strategic opportunities
- Intentionally shifting your focus to working on rather than in your business
For owners who are specifically interested in succession and/or exit planning, we look at the overall state of the business as it relates to your desired transition timeline. This work is strategic and tactical regarding personal readiness and business attractiveness decisions.
Business owners working to improve valuation and execute a specific succession or exit plan have to continue to run a profitable business while also making the personal and business decisions required to do a successful transaction or transfer. Purpose First Advisors helps you understand the process, identify and make critical decisions, and align the team (estate attorneys, tax advisors, wealth advisors, transaction attorneys, bankers, key executives, and family members) involved in the planning and execution of key activities.
