The problem
For owners who just bought in, or have run it long enough to outgrow the spreadsheets
Five systems that don’t talk to each other.
Nobody can tell you what’s making money and what’s losing it.
The person who knows how it all works could leave tomorrow.
This is built for businesses with more than one number hiding inside the topline: different locations, job types, service lines, or products, each carrying its own costs. If yours is a single line of business you can already see clearly, you probably don’t need this.
What we build
See what’s happening: one screen, the whole operation.
Cash, margin, customer concentration, what’s coming: the daily reality of the business, pulled from the systems you already run. This is the view an owner checks on a Monday morning.
Read-only, always. We never write to your systems. Full data policy

What you get
Ops & Data Readiness Review$1,250
I map what you’re running, tell you what’s answerable and what’s broken, and hand you a findings doc plus a first look at your numbers. About a week.
- 2Then
The BuildHourly, ceiling set by your Review
I wire your systems into one live view (revenue, cash, jobs, customers, margin) and clean up the manual busywork behind it. The Review sets your price ceiling before we start, and credits toward it.
- 3Ongoing
Ongoing Advisoryfrom $1,200/mo
I keep your systems running and your numbers live, and every month bring you a real decision: where to focus, what to fix, what’s worth bringing in specialist help for.
I don’t quote a build blind. The Review tells us exactly what’s involved, and your Build price is capped from what it finds. You see the ceiling before you commit, and if your data’s clean, you pay less.
The ongoing view
It points at the decision.
Once the systems are connected, we keep watching them with you. This is what an ongoing engagement produces: the constraint to solve, the account to protect, the hire that can’t wait. Decisions, not just data.

Who you’re working with
I’m Matt Harvey.
I’ve spent years seeing the inside of organizations and projects ranging from multi-billion-dollar infrastructure programs to government agencies to regional service businesses. The thing that held almost all of them back was the same: they couldn’t see themselves clearly. The cliché about siloed business functions is true at every size — data collection is immature, and the data that does get collected lives in disconnected systems that don’t talk to each other. A large part of my job has been to fix exactly that: connect the data, collect more of the right data, and serve it to decision makers in a way that actually answers their questions.
The same problem shows up in businesses of every size — a freshly acquired shop, a company that’s run the same way for twenty years, a regional operator that’s outgrown its spreadsheets, or one that’s invested in real systems that still don’t talk to each other. The numbers are the business, and every decision rides on being able to see them. My background is in strategy, decision support, and public finance, so I’m fluent in the numbers and don’t need the analytics explained.
I hold certifications in data engineering and program management, and for specialized work I bring in vetted specialists as needed. You’ll always work directly with me — nothing gets handed off to someone you haven’t met.
Your data stays yours.
- Read-only access, always. I connect to your systems to read them, never to write to them. Nothing I do can change or break how your business runs.
- You own the dashboard and the data. If we ever part ways, you keep it. No hostage-taking.
- No lock-in. The monthly advisory is earned every month, not enforced by a contract you can’t leave.
Framework
The six numbers I’d pull before anything else
You know your revenue. You know your profit. Of course you do. Your accountant produces them every month. This document is not about those.
You have a balance sheet. You do not yet have a control panel. These are the six numbers underneath revenue and profit: the ones that explain them. None are in your monthly financials.
Revenue concentration
Risk
who you can’t afford to lose
Margin by job type
Mix
which work is carrying which
Customer margin, worst-first
Pricing
who you lose money on
Cash conversion
Liquidity
how long your money is someone else’s
Capacity and cost to deliver
Efficiency
what the payroll produces
The forward book
Future
what’s coming, and when you have leverage
They cover risk, mix, pricing, liquidity, efficiency, and the future. Drop any one and there’s a category of blindness.
Want these pulled from your own systems?
Fifteen minutes to talk through what you run, and see if the Readiness Review is the right next step.
And you watch it move.
Reviewed together every month, so a slipping margin or a filling crew calendar is a conversation in week three, not a surprise at year-end.
