About Leverage Point Advisory
Operator experience. Economist training. No buzzword decks.
I'm Leif Franco-Soto, a business advisor and systems specialist based in Santa Clarita, CA. Too many times I've seen local businesses — essential to the community — struggling to stay afloat over problems that are actually fixable. Leverage Point Advisory exists to find that leaking revenue and hand owners fixes they can actually run.
Background
11+ years across Fortune 500 operations and fast-growing startups.
Before founding Leverage Point Advisory, I spent over a decade in strategy and planning through day-to-day operations — including driving $15M in annual free cash flow at Amazon before going independent. That operator background, paired with formal economics training, is why the work here looks different from a typical consulting engagement: I build working financial models and systems from your actual numbers, not slide decks built from templates.
Now the focus is local businesses where operations break down or margin quietly leaks out the door — billing, workflows, pricing, the daily bottlenecks nobody has time to untangle. I map how the business actually runs, find where the money is going, and hand over fixes ranked by dollar impact.
Proven Results
Who I work with
Owner-operators across the Santa Clarita Valley, greater LA, and remotely nationwide.
Most clients are local service and hospitality businesses — restaurants, fitness studios, and similar owner-run SMBs — where the owner is too close to the day-to-day to see the pattern in their own numbers. If that sounds like your business, see whether this is you or get in touch directly.
