Having a plan will
increase the value of your company
When making a big change to ownership – such as:
​
-
retirement
-
sale
-
bringing on new investors, or
-
preparing the next generation to lead
It is the best time to increase the value of your most important asset – your business. A relatively small investment can produce an outsized outcome.
I help owners of small & medium sized businesses prepare for change – comfortably and profitably.

Worked In
"Reuben is a terrific consultant. He’s smart, knowledgeable, energetic, and faces difficult problems head-on without sugarcoating them. He worked with me for three years, helping to resolve some longstanding and troublesome partnership issues, figuring out how to recapitalize the business, and enabling me to sell the company so I could retire comfortably."

Meaningful Work
I am a craftsperson myself – both as an entrepreneur, and as a hobby.
​
A few things I've done as a craftsman:
-
Built out a screen-print factory
-
Started an art gallery in Uptown Oakland
-
Performed gut remodel of six units in two buildings
-
Interviewed small business legends for a self-edited podcast
I enjoy working with people whose work is their passion.
