Your small business data knows where the money's leaking. Most owners never ask it.

I read your QuickBooks, your CRM, your calendar — then I tell you where the money you can feel but cannot point at is hiding. One person, five days, fixed price. For US small businesses doing $500K–$10M.

Sound familiar?

“You were slammed all quarter, but the P&L doesn't show it. Where did the money go?”

“Your best employee just quit — and years of undocumented know-how walked out the door.”

“A competitor just ate your market share with a faster response time.”

“Your office manager is drowning in paperwork. Again.”

These are the moments owners call me.

What an audit page actually looks like.

One page from a 14-page audit. Synthesized from typical SMB findings — not a real client's data. Real audits use redacted real exports from your systems.

Audit for: [Anonymized — Restaurant, ~$2.4M revenue] Page 7 of 14 — Findings & Quantified Impact

Finding 03 of 17

Tuesday lunch service is running 38% over food cost target

Cross-referenced 12 weeks of Toast POS line items against vendor invoices. 4 SKUs (chicken thigh, romaine, jalapeño, avocado) account for 62% of the variance. Same recipes, different prep cooks.

Food cost variance · 12 Tuesdays

Quantified impact $8,400 / quarter

Suggested fix Re-portion pilot for 2 weeks. Verifiable in week 3 P&L.

Finding 07 of 17

Reservation no-shows on Friday evenings = 19% (industry: 7%)

OpenTable + Toast cross-reference. No-shows cluster between 7:15 PM and 8:30 PM, primarily 4-top reservations booked 5+ days out. SMS confirmation rate at 24-hour mark: 41%.

No-show rate · 12 Fridays

Quantified impact $3,200 / month opportunity cost

Suggested fix Move confirmation SMS from -24h to -4h window. Add deposit hold on parties of 5+.

Finding 11 of 17

Office manager spends 11 hrs/week on tip-out reconciliation

Time-tracked over 3 weeks via Toggl integration with QuickBooks. Manual entry of cash tips, credit tips, and shared-pool calculations. Two formula errors found in last quarter would have understated server pay by $1,140.

Hours on tip-out reconciliation · 12 weeks

Quantified impact $14,300 / year (manager hours + error risk)

Suggested fix Toast tip-out export → Sheets template. 90-min setup. Documented in audit appendix.

Synthesized from typical SMB findings — no real client data shown. Real audits run 12–20 pages, use your actual exports, and quantify every finding in dollars.

The Data-to-Dollars process.

Discovery call

Twenty minutes. I listen for the leak you can already feel. By the end, you know whether the audit fits — and three things to look at even if it does not.

Data intake

Exports from whatever you already use — QuickBooks, Stripe, Shopify, Toast, Salesforce, Google Calendar, Excel. No new software, no integration project.

Analysis

I read your data the way an outside accountant reads a P&L. Patterns no one inside the business has time to look for, surfaced and quantified in dollars.

Delivery

A 14-page PDF and a 60-minute walkthrough. Every finding tied to a number. A 30/60/90 plan you can execute alone or hand to anyone.

What your numbers look like after 5 days.

Drag the handle. Left: the dashboard you have now — twelve overlapping signals, no hierarchy. Right: the same data, three findings, quantified in dollars.

Before

After

Illustrative. Real audits use your actual exports and quantify in dollars.

Does the audit fit your business?

Five questions. No email needed for the score.

Does your business generate data in any of these systems? CRM, POS, calendar, invoicing, spreadsheets.

I take four engagements a month because I do the analysis myself. The price equals five days of focused work — sent in writing on the discovery call. There is no money-back guarantee. Instead, you get a sample audit before you pay, and a twenty-minute call so you can decide whether I am the right person. If I am not, I will tell you on the call.

What $2,500 buys you.

Deliverable

14-page PDF + 60-minute walkthrough + a 30/60/90 action plan you can hand to anyone.

Timeline

Five working days from the moment your data lands in my inbox. I quote the exact delivery date on the discovery call.

Scope

One business, cross-industry, $500K–$10M revenue. No retainers. No Phase 2. If the discovery call shows scope is bigger than 5 days, I tell you and you walk away.

Audit-or-refund guarantee

If during my 5-day analysis I find nothing worth more than your $2,500 fee, I refund the full amount. Falsifiable. No fine print.

The usual questions.

Can't I just use ChatGPT myself?

You can — and you should, for drafting and summarizing. But analyzing 2,000 customer records, cross-referencing twelve months of transactions, and surfacing patterns nobody has time to look for needs specialized tooling and someone who knows the signals. ChatGPT is a calculator. The audit is the accountant.

Why not just buy better software?

Software solves one problem. Analysis tells you which problem to solve first — and whether new software is even the right answer. Most owners who buy all-in-one platforms without a plan spend $10K–$25K on implementation and wait months for payoff. Analysis first, software second.

What if my data is messy?

Messy data is the norm — exports with blanks, inconsistent formats, legacy fields. Cleaning is the first day or two of the audit. If the data genuinely cannot be analyzed, I tell you on the discovery call before you commit.

I'm not sure AI can help my specific industry.

The methodology is industry-agnostic because the data types are — CRM records, POS transactions, calendars, invoices show up everywhere. On the discovery call you tell me what systems you run; I tell you honestly whether the audit fits.

Can my office manager figure this out?

She is already doing the work of three people — admin, bookkeeping, customer service, scheduling. She does not have forty hours to dig through transaction logs, and she does not have AI tools that read ten thousand records in minutes. This is not about capability. It is about time and tools.

Why $2,500? Why fixed?

Fixed price means I stop the clock at 5 days whether the audit took 30 hours or 60. Methodology scales; my time does not. If your data would take more than a week to read, I tell you on the discovery call and we both walk away — no invoice, no obligation.

What if the audit doesn't find anything valuable?

Then I refund the full $2,500. I track every finding against your fee, and if the total dollar impact doesn't clear $2,500 by day 5, you get the audit deliverable for free and the money back. Falsifiable, no fine print.

Your data is already paying for the audit. You just cannot see it yet.

Twenty minutes. I review what you already have beforehand. You leave with three findings — yours to keep, no follow-up sequence.
