Our Story

We didn’t set out to build another financial consulting firm. But after years of watching small business owners get poorly served by the financial industry—sold products they don’t need, given cookie-cutter advice, or flat-out ignored—we had to create something better.

Not a faceless firm. A partnership. The kind of advocate we wished more business owners had—someone who understands the numbers and strategy, but also the personal stakes of running a business.

Chris has owned businesses for 30 years and valued over 1,000 companies. He’s lived through a seven-figure exit that left him asking “now what?” and currently operates three businesses. Sarah has brought order to high-growth chaos as a Controller in fast-paced, messy environments. She knows how to turn financial confusion into clarity.

Together, we’ve seen what works, what breaks, and how much better the journey is when you have someone in your corner who gets both the business and the person behind it.

That’s Mission Business Partners—helping owners build clarity, confidence, and a business whose mission aligns with their life purpose. Not something to exit in haste. Something to keep or build for exit that best fits you.
