Three levers most SMBs pull too late
— done properly, in the right order.

Your briefcase of items that remind you where you are going and some tools to get there.

Finance for Normal People

SaaS & AI Automation

Our current "Business Management Hub" that allows you to streamline your operations with integrated tools across all business functions

HOW IT WORKS

A predictable, four-stage engagement.

No open-ended retainers. Every engagement has a defined scope, a written deliverable, and a clear exit.

Diagnose

A working session to map your structure, finance stack, and operational bottlenecks.

02
Design

A written blueprint: entity moves, finance changes, and a costed SaaS stack.

03
Deploy

I implement (or work with your team) — setups, migrations, and automations that stick.

04
Handover

Standard operating procedures and a quarterly check-in option so it stays healthy.

ABOUT

Four decades of finance and operations
— pointed at your business.

I’m Gavin Julyan. I’ve spent 40+ years inside finance and operations roles for businesses ranging from lean startups to established SMBs. What I kept seeing was the same pattern: owners drowning in tooling that didn’t talk to each other, and losing hours to admin no automation had ever touched.

My work is straightforward: get the structure right, build a finance function that reports on time, and use SaaS to remove the busywork. I’m vendor-agnostic — the right stack is the one that fits your business, not the one that pays a commission.
