STRATEGIC
CONSULTING
THAT WORKS
FOR YOU.
Founded in 2009, LA Business Guy is a new-age strategic consulting firm that takes a very hands-on approach to helping you solve your business or company’s biggest challenges — with less stress and more success.
Surprisingly, we are based in Los Angeles (but work with a national and international slate of clients across the United States, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia).
My team and I dive into your professional goals and personal aspirations, then do what it takes to make them a reality. That means game-changing insights and support, as well as frank feedback and the truths you need to hear.
Leading and managing has its ups and downs, and we’re here for all of it — whether you’re looking to restock the office fridge or just trying to keep the Wi-Fi working.
BETTER DECISIONS.
LESS STRESS.
MORE SUCCESS.
Successfully running, managing, and leading a business or company is all about making the right moves with the right resources at the right time.
But let’s be honest — many managers and leaders struggle to solve their biggest challenges because they don’t diagnose them accurately.
We’re not here to boss you around or hand you cookie-cutter solutions and wish you the best of luck. Instead, we show you how to think about your biggest problems and collaborate with you to quickly solve them through our signature Decision-Making Flywheel.
OUR PARTNERS
IN SUCCESS
We are proud to collaborate with exceptional businesses of all types and sizes — helping them achieve smarter, faster, less stressful, and future-ready solutions.
While we do not publish case studies publicly to respect our clients’ privacy, we are happy to share detailed case studies with you upon request. Our clients’ trust is our greatest accomplishment.

How can I work with LA Business Guy?
Start by booking an introductory in-person or virtual meeting with us. We’ll assess your needs and create a custom roadmap for success.
We can also give you some can’t-miss recommendations for the best restaurants in and around LA.
Generally, we work with clients in four capacities:
- Projects with a start and end date, including a detailed roadmap, scope of work, and KPIs
- Upskilling you and/or your team across one or more of our four areas of expertise: value creation and delivery, sales and marketing, operations, and workplace culture
- Seminars designed to provide your team with valuable insights and practical knowledge on key business topics
- Research & Development (R&D) solutions to uncover new opportunities, optimize existing processes, and drive innovation — providing the knowledge and expertise needed to turn your ideas into actionable results
What is your typical pricing?
We offer flexible pricing models tailored to your business needs.
We believe in transparency and will provide a clear proposal upfront so there are no surprises.
And don’t worry — we won’t charge you every time you blink during a meeting. We save that for the premium package.
Depending on the scope and nature of the work, we may charge:
- Project Fees: a flat rate for clearly defined projects with specific deliverables
- Hourly Rates: ideal for consulting or advisory sessions where flexibility is key
- Retainer Agreements: for ongoing support and consistent access to our expertise
- Custom Pricing: Got something unique in mind? We’re happy to create a bespoke pricing model that works for you.
What makes LA Business Guy different?
If you really want the truth, most consulting firms are great when it comes to combining practical expertise with innovative thinking (and a touch of humor).
We do the same, but we differentiate ourselves in our affordability — because we do not have the overheard that most consulting firms carry. This allows us to work with major brands, small-to-midsize-businesses, up-and-coming startups, and personal brands.
How much coffee do you drink?
Never less than four espresso shots each day and sometimes five.
What if I need help deciding what to order for lunch?
While we specialize in business, we’re happy to weigh in on important life choices like tacos versus sushi. (Hint: It’s tacos.)
