Your story. Your financials.
Overwhelmed with your financials? Having trouble seeing your business in the data?
When we clean, categorize, and visualize your financials in ways that make sense for your specific decisions, those boring numbers suddenly tell you exactly what you need to know. The magic happens when we cut through the noise and focus on patterns that matter, so you can spot problems and opportunities. When your financials are structured around what drives your business, we are able to shift from "here's what happened last month" to "here's where we should go next."

Review financials

Cash flow forecasting
Burn rate analysis

About Me
Ellen Bloch, Founder
I hate to brag—but I was the coolest second grader in Portage County. When my parents opened a toy, train, and hobby store in a neighboring town, my personal stock soared! It was short-lived though, as I quickly discovered that owning the store didn't mean free toys for me and my friends. Instead, I learned that running a business was about wholesale vs. retail prices, margins vs. discounts, overhead, inventory management, marketing, customer service, and so much more.
Growing up in a family business gave me a unique opportunity to see firsthand the challenges small business owners face—juggling operations, sales, and growth while knowing that each decision impacts their ability to provide for their families. Too often, those critical decisions had to be made without clear visibility into the financial implications.
By college, I knew I wanted to build a career empowering small business owners and leaders with the financial clarity and confidence needed to make bold decisions.
Now, with 20 years of finance experience, I provide enterprise-level financial strategy and systems to growing organizations without the overhead of a full-time executive. Whether you need monthly financial reporting, strategic planning, or guidance through a challenging period, I become your trusted financial partner—not just another consultant.
Let’s see what story your financials have to share.
