Developed a Sophisticated Financial Model to Scale a 42-Year-Old Family Business

Rising Oak, the service level was excellent. Very responsive to emails, phone calls, text. There was just not a time that Stanislav was unaccessible or didn't treat us as the most important customer client that he had. I would say, if you're sitting on the fence get off the fence, go ahead and take the initiative to engage Stanislav and see the work and the quality of work that he does. I don't think you'd be disappointed and I think you'd see value at any level of involvement that he could give you. Steve McKay. I'm from Bastrop, Texas and I work as a Chief Executive Officer. Our business before working with Stanislav was a family owned business that was struggling and needed some systems, needed some financial acumen implemented into the company. The only hesitation I had with hiring Stanislav had to do with the fee structure. We just were not a very flush company with cash and didn't know if we could afford him and we decided to go for it anyway. The number one benefit from working with Rising Oak Advisory was the development of a very sophisticated financial model for our business to help us scale the business going forward. What surprised me the most about working with Stanislav is he's a quick thinker. He gets on things and moves fast and it was a little challenge at first to keep up with him. We stepped out and engaged Stanislav because as a Chief Executive Officer I didn't believe that we could go forward any further without a better understanding of the levers, financial levers that drove our business model. We've been a 42 year old company, been operating a long time but had not fully developed a financial model for planning and running the business and that was something I thought we just couldn't wait any longer to do. My confidence only got stronger. We actually expanded the engagement from just a financial model to some other areas to as we post financing that we thought we could use Stanislav for.
