Business advisory, strategy & operations · Santa Clarita, CA
Find the revenue your business is leaking.
I map how your business actually runs — billing, workflows, the daily bottlenecks — and hand you fixes ranked by dollar impact. A recent $99 diagnostic surfaced $55K–$98K in annual growth for a local dining business, without a dollar of new spend.
$99 diagnostic — you pay only if the report is useful, and you keep it either way. How the pilot works →
About me
Operator experience. Economist training. No buzzword decks.
Too many times I have seen local businesses, essential to the community, struggling to stay afloat.
I'm a business advisor and systems specialist with over 11 years across Fortune 500 companies and fast-growing startups — from strategy and planning through day-to-day operations. Now focused on local businesses where operations break down or margin leaks out the door, I map how your business actually runs, find the bottlenecks, and build fixes that get implemented.
Based in Santa Clarita and working with owner-operators across the Santa Clarita Valley, the greater LA area, and remotely nationwide. Workflow design, systems consulting, margin analysis, and hands-on execution — mapped to your business before I recommend anything. Does this sound like your business?
Proven Results
How I work
Systems over slides. Data over opinions.
Most consultants give you a generic deck. I give you a working model—built from your actual numbers, ranked by bottom-line impact, and written so you can execute immediately. Because I build custom systems instead of selling boilerplate advice, every engagement starts with a deep dive into your operational reality.
Diagnose
You send raw financial or billing data — 12+ months. I build a model from scratch: revenue by segment, pricing trends, cost drivers.
Analyze
I find where value is leaking — pricing gaps, workflow bottlenecks, discounting patterns — and rank fixes by financial impact. Written findings, not slide bullets.
Fix
You decide how far to go: take the report and run, engage for project execution, or ongoing retainer support.
Once we know what's broken, you choose how far to go. Four ways to work together — scoped to where you are today.
Pricing & packages
Honest scope before any commitment.
Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute call so we agree on what you need and what it will take to fix it.
Diagnostic audit
$99 flat fee — credited toward any project
12+ months of raw financial or billing data in. Written findings on where margin is leaking and what to fix first — out. You pay the $99 only if the report is useful; if not, you keep the report and we part ways. Data handled under strict deletion protocol.

Fixed quote · standalone project
One repetitive task eating your hours — booking-to-billing sync, customer intake, deposit collection, or a chat bot that answers your team's delivery and vendor questions from your own records. I build just that piece and hand it over working, with your team trained on it. No diagnostic or retainer required.
Talk through it →Project execution
Pricing set after scoping
A scoped statement of work: operational analysis, tool integration, outreach system design, or financial modeling. We discuss your goals first, then I quote a fixed price based on what the work actually requires.
Talk scope →SMB retainer
Pricing set after scoping
Ongoing bottleneck removal, automation setup, and local growth strategy. Prepaid monthly with a use-it-or-lose-it policy. Capacity-limited — I keep the roster small to protect focus and deliver real results for every client.

What clients say
Direct feedback from owner-operators I've worked with.
A lot of consultants just give advice, but Leif actually helped us execute. He showed us exactly where our operations had gaps, dialed in our processes, and co-piloted a youth athlete outreach strategy that hit the ground running.
