Strategic counsel for Quebec business owners

The weightiest decisionsall land onthe same desk.

No one else sees the whole picture. These decisions call less for another specialist than for an ongoing, independent outside perspective.

Request an initial conversation

60 minutes, at no cost and with no obligation. A candid conversation to understand the situation — not a sales presentation. The decision remains yours.

You know your business. You also see it from the inside.

Decisions involving money, people, operations, the market and technology often converge on you. Your team may be strong and your professional advisors capable; each sees only part of the situation. What may be missing is not another specialist, but an outside perspective that can connect the whole picture.

See

Surface blind spots, separate facts from assumptions and connect signals that daily demands tend to scatter.

Decide

Compare real options, examine their consequences and clarify what calls for action now — or what should wait.

Follow through

Return to what was decided, watch what changes and adjust before a gap becomes costly.

An ongoing outside perspective

An ongoing, independent outside perspective.

Ongoing strategic counsel creates a regular pause in the rhythm of running your business. One day every two months, I review with you the numbers, the decisions under consideration, the blind spots and what needs to be monitored. Between meetings, you can write to me when circumstances change. The decision remains yours.

Why Ursa Major

I know the seat you are sitting in.

I spent more than fifteen years leading a small or medium-sized business. I know the isolation that can come with certain decisions, the trade-offs among liquidity, people, operations and the future, and how difficult it is to step back when everything lands on the same desk. Today, I bring that perspective with a rigorous method, genuine independence and nothing to protect in the answer.

Let’s talk about what’s on your mind.

The initial conversation is a chance to understand your situation and determine whether I can genuinely help. There is no fee and no obligation. If I am not the right person — or if another professional is better placed — I will say so candidly.
