Scott is a member of the Minnesota Society of Certified Public Accountants, and holds a Masters of Business Administration degree.
For the last several years Scott has been instrumental in the business development of a variety of companies across several different industries. Below is a listing of examples of how Scott has helped organizations accomplish various objectives:
- Raise capital to fund business expansion and growth
- Negotiate favorable credit terms for small to medium sized businesses
- Become a trusted business advisor for companies experiencing transition – whether from business decline or stagnation
- Be a liaison between lending institutions and troubled companies
- Provide mentoring and/or coaching services to new up and coming business leaders
- Create processes and systems to aid in business development, corporate planning, and profit maximization
- And the list goes on…….
Each company or business today will face both generic or complex pressures, but in certain cases, those pressures can be more challenging to identify let alone to find appropriate solutions. Scott brings to each engagement an ability to co-strategize with each key influencer in determining how to make the best decisions possible. In some instances, the best decision is to leave things as they are – other times a whole new business model needs to be implemented.
Seeing things from a different perspective is what separates us from other consulting organizations. Scott has often said “Business owners usually make the easier wrong decisions, instead of the harder right decisions. In my experience here lies the difference between becoming a success or falling back in the ordinary.”
Scott has consulted with companies that need only a listening ear throughout the year. Other clients need more active engagement and participation. In each partnership, active or proactive planning in all business areas takes place – some in a more formal fashion, other instances in a theoretical format. One of the underestimated and often overlooked deterrents to success is that you actually achieve your goals or objectives. This may sound counter-intuitive, but Scott can help you look at the premise or basis on which the objectives were set. Scott has said “What if you actually achieve your goal – what then? Have you actually arrived or not? What if your goals were under what you should have done! That’s where Insight Cos. takes the initiative!”
Scott’s expertise is quite expansive as it relates to business development, accounting and tax planning, and process improvement. There are a lot of very well qualified consultants that can provide quality services, but few have actually been where the small business owner lives.
“Being a former construction business owner, and having personally experienced all of the normal day-to-day pressures, the last person you want on your team is someone who sits in a office and has never known what it’s like to actually have owned a real business. I’m a CPA, business consultant, and an advocate to partner with you to help your company grow.”
“ We should be your next logical choice– to see you where you want to be.” |
