Revenue architect, turnaround specialist, and capital operator with 30+ years and a portfolio of rescues and builds behind me. I sit in the seat and do the work.
Free to apply · Assessment: $2,500 · Engagements from $15,000/month
Revenue is down. Cash is tight. You’ve already tried the obvious things and they haven’t worked. What you need isn’t more advice — you need someone who has sat in this seat before and knows exactly what to do next.
You have something working but the financial infrastructure isn’t there yet. You’re leaving revenue on the table. You need to be investor-ready but aren’t sure what that means in practice.
Your business is running but you’re the one running it. You’re too deep in the day-to-day to see the bigger picture, let alone build toward it. You don’t need capital — you need a senior operator who can identify what’s holding growth back and help you fix it.
I’ve spent more than three decades inside businesses as the operator in the room — not the advisor standing outside it. I’ve built companies from early stage to exit, rescued distressed businesses that everyone else had written off, and structured deals across industries that most consultants have never seen up close.
I work through Ritch Ventures, my holding company based in Bradenton, Florida. When I take an engagement, I’m not a consultant on retainer. I’m in the business with you — working the problem, making hard calls, and seeing it through.
Every engagement below is anonymized to protect client confidentiality. The numbers are real.
A $4M regional services company was 90 days from insolvency. Within six months: cash flow positive, two new revenue streams opened, overhead cut by 31%, and the business refinanced on favorable terms.
An early-stage SaaS founder had 18 months of runway and no path to profitability. We restructured pricing, reduced burn by 40%, and closed a seed round at a valuation 3x higher than initial investor offers.
A distribution company was single-channel dependent with declining margins. Identified three untapped revenue streams, renegotiated vendor contracts, and rebuilt the cost structure. Revenue up 44% in 12 months.
Every engagement starts the same way. The process is designed to protect your time and mine — and to make sure we’re the right fit before either of us commits.
Applying is free. Complete a short application below and I review it personally. If there’s a potential fit, you’ll hear from me within 48 hours. If it’s not a fit, I’ll tell you that too — no runaround.
From this point forward there is a fee. We meet and I do a working assessment of your business situation. You leave with a clear picture of what I see and a recommended path forward — whether we work together long-term or not.
$500 assessment feeIf we’re aligned, we structure the engagement. I take the fractional CFO seat and we get to work. Engagement structures — retainer, equity, revenue share, or a combination — are agreed before we start. Every engagement includes a cash component.
I only take a small number of engagements at a time. The application helps me understand whether I can genuinely help you — and whether the timing is right for both of us.
