What Dave's Clients Say

  • “It was great to work with Dave Grant, initially he provided an external lens to sense check our financials and overall business operation. We then worked together to build a sales and marketing plan. The result is key initiatives to implement over the next 12 months, each with clear actions, responsibilities and measurable outcomes. Throughout the process Dave brought a positive energy with an enthusiastic and practical approach. While building our plan we benefited from immediately implementing a number of Dave’s ideas.”

  • “This was a challenge that you were both up for and up to from my perspective. I genuinely appreciate your time and perspectives that have helped me move forward personally and with the business.

    I absolutely acknowledge that it’s a great process and one that does help drive a business forward. The focus on mine and my partners personal goals at the start was primo and the monthly management meetings were good.

    Having your weekly agenda, discussion points and action items was very helpful to keep moving forward. Your documented lists were great to review. Your personal integrity and energy is a tonic and your encouragement too has been so very valuable to help me shift from the place I was at.”

  • “We had the pleasure of working with Julia and were thoroughly impressed by her financial expertise and strategic insight. Before choosing her, we looked into a few different companies, but it quickly became clear that Julia was the right fit for us. She not only met but exceeded our expectations.

    Julia was fantastic to lean on when we had big ideas and needed someone to help translate them into clear financials. Her ability to break things down and give us the clarity we needed made a real difference in our decision making. Highly recommend and we will continue to use her support”
