I've Never Cost a Client More Than I've Saved Them

Twenty years on stages, in production offices, and on tour buses taught me where money disappears—and how to stop the bleeding. I find the overtime leaks, the vendor overcharges, the scheduling collisions, and the compliance gaps before they become six-figure problems. My fees come out of savings you didn't know you had.

You're Losing Money Somewhere — But You Don't Have Time to Find It

Hidden losses lurk in labor inefficiencies, safety oversights, logistics bottlenecks, and forecasting errors. Industry standards recommend 10-20% contingency buffers—but without proper systems, that buffer becomes wishful thinking.

These gaps quietly drain your bottom line, often unnoticed until it's too late—eating away at margins, threatening production timelines, and exposing your operation to costly compliance risks.

Where Productions Lose Money

Concert at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, OR

Labor Inefficiencies

Overstaffing, scheduling conflicts, and poor resource allocation draining your payroll budget without delivering proportional value.

Safety Oversights

Compliance gaps and protocol weaknesses that could trigger costly incidents, lawsuits, and production shutdowns.

Logistics Bottlenecks

Supply chain disruptions, equipment delays, and coordination failures that cause expensive downtime and missed deadlines.

Forecasting Errors

Inaccurate projections that leave you short-staffed on sold-out nights or overstaffed on slow ones—margin killers hiding in plain sight.

I Dive Deep Into Your Entire Operation

I don't audit from a conference room. I walk your load-ins, sit in your production meetings, and review your settlements line by line. I've seen how costs hide in crew overtime, vendor markups, and scheduling gaps that nobody's watching. That's where I focus.
