Know your numbers. Then grow.
The consultant you couldn't afford. Until now.
Most small businesses run on instinct because real financial analysis has always been priced for companies ten times their size. We changed the math. Nearly three decades of hands-on experience, accelerated by AI — so you get the caliber of work that used to cost five figures, at a price that makes sense for a business your size.
How we help
Wherever you are, we start there.
Every business is somewhere on the same path — figuring out the numbers, fixing what's broken, pushing for growth, or preparing to hand it off. We work at all four stages. Most engagements begin with one and grow into the next.
Know Your Numbers
Clarity before strategy.
You can't fix what you can't see. We take whatever you've got — bank statements, a tangled QuickBooks file, a drawer of receipts — and turn it into a clean, accurate picture of your business: real revenue, real margins, real cash flow.
Learn moreFix What's Draining You
Margin is found, not earned.
Underpriced services, creeping vendor costs, labor that outgrew revenue, a process nobody has questioned. Some of what's draining you is money and some is time. We find both, rank them by what they cost, and help you close them.
Learn moreGrow With a Plan
Ambition, backed by a model.
Growth breaks businesses that aren't ready for it. We build the plan and the model behind it — what expansion actually costs, what it returns, when the cash gets tight, and what has to be true for it to work.
Learn moreExit on Your Terms
The work starts years before the sale.
What your business is worth and what a buyer will pay are two different numbers, and the gap is almost always closable — with enough runway. We help you understand your valuation, identify what's suppressing it, and prepare for the process.

Not sure where you fit?
Find out in ten minutes.
The Business Health Check scores six areas of your business and tells you which one to address first. It's free, it takes about ten minutes, and a person reads every submission. You'll have your scorecard within a business day.
EAI was built by an operator, not a career consultant — someone who has scaled companies and sold a business from the seller's side of the table. Meet the founder.

The Financial Clarity Sprint
One week. Fixed price. Your business, finally in focus.
Send us what you have — bank statements, QuickBooks exports, spreadsheets, whatever exists. One week later, you get a clean profit and loss statement, a real cash flow picture, and a straight answer on the three things most affecting your bottom line.
A firm would traditionally scope this as a month of work and price it accordingly — comparable engagements start around $5,000. AI does the categorizing, reconciling and modeling in hours instead of weeks. We passed that saving on rather than pocketing it.
No retainer. No long engagement. No commitment beyond the week.
What's included
- Full transaction categorization and reconciliation
- A clean, decision-ready P&L
- Cash flow analysis with a 12-month forecast
- Three prioritized findings, with the dollar figure attached to each
- A one-hour walkthrough call — your numbers, explained in plain English
Turnaround
5 business days from receipt of documents
Most clients continue into a longer engagement. Plenty don't, and that's a fine outcome too — you'll leave with the clearest picture of your business you've ever had.
Why EAI
Serious analysis, without the firm-sized invoice.
AI-Powered, Not AI-Only
AI does the heavy lifting: reconciling thousands of transactions, modeling a dozen scenarios, surfacing patterns in an afternoon that used to take weeks. But the judgment about what it means, and the accountability for what you do next, is human. Every time.
Priced for the businesses that need it most
Traditional consulting economics meant a firm had to bill you like an enterprise to make the engagement worth their time. AI collapsed that cost structure. We passed it on — which is why businesses that could never justify a consultant are now our core clients.
We work in your numbers, not around them
Plenty of consultants deliver a strategy deck. We start in your bank statements. The recommendations you get are built from your actual transactions, your real margins, and your specific cash position — not from a framework applied to your industry in general.
Built by an owner, for owners
We've built companies, scaled them, and sold them. We know what it's like to make payroll on a bad month and to weigh a decision with your own money on the line. You're getting a peer who's been through it, not an analyst who's read about it.
How we work
Four weeks of work, delivered in one.
The reason we can charge less isn't that we do less. It's that the parts of consulting that used to consume the most hours are now the fastest.
You send what you have.
Bank statements, exports, spreadsheets, a folder of PDFs. No cleanup required on your end — messy is normal and messy is fine.
We process at machine speed.
Thousands of transactions categorized, reconciled, and modeled in hours instead of weeks. This is the part that used to eat most of a traditional engagement's budget.
We apply thirty years of judgment.
The analysis is fast. Knowing which findings matter, which are noise, and what you should actually do on Monday morning — that's the part experience buys, and it's the part we spend our time on.
You get a straight answer.
Plain English, specific numbers, ranked by impact. Not a hundred-page deck you'll skim once and file.
