Founder and Operator of Firehouse Hostel and Lounge, Deep Ellum Hostel, ATXcursions, Timber and Alloy. Expertise in startup, operations, financial planning, data analysis, and team management.
I have spent over twelve years creating and improving revenue streams through strategic planning, data analysis, and financial management. The ability to budget and forecast effectively will set you apart from the majority of small business owners.
I can assist in various areas; helping create or review a pro forma P&L for a new venture, reviewing current financial statements and identifying areas to investigate, or building forecasting models to explore how different variables will affect future revenue and profitability.
We can get as complicated or simple as you like. I have experience in Python, JavaScript, SQL Databases, Tableau, Big Data, and Machine Learning... but usually, we'll just stick to Excel.
I've formed and managed 4 brick and mortar companies, and understand the process well. I can provide experience and advice on finding funding, site location, zoning and compliance, and construction management. Additionally, decisions made during the start-up period can have long-lasting effects; I can share pitfalls to avoid based on 12 years of experience managing businesses in Hospitality, Food and Beverage, Tourism, and Metal Fabrication.
The ability to find, organize, and make sense of relevant data can set you apart from the competition. I have experience using various tools to manipulate large data sets and find the valuable insight they contain.
This should start with a question. How do I differentiate? How do I segment the market? How much should I be charging at what time of year or time of day? These can often lead down a rabbit hole that ends with a better understanding of your revenue streams and how to build them.
I love this stuff. Whether your question is micro or macro, I'm down to help explore it.
My toolkit for this includes programming skills in Excel, Python, JavaScript, SQL Databases, Tableau, Big Data, and Machine Learning.
