Founders

Different instincts.  

Same bar.

We've worked together for over a decade.

Between us, 30 years inside the accounting industry - across brand, marketing, people and strategy.

We've built brands and shaped marketing campaigns. Delivered events from intimate advisory gatherings to large format conferences.

We’ve designed onboarding systems for teams and clients. Implemented CRM platforms, consulted on software and org structure, created job descriptions, and hired the people to fill them. Launched products and new businesses. Developed advisory services, content, and the processes that make them repeatable.

We know this industry from the inside. We know what gets parked, what gets deferred, and what it actually takes to move things forward.

We're also wired differently from each other - which is the point.

The best ideas survive scrutiny. One of us is looking for the holes while the other is building. Ideas get stress-tested, shaped, and sharpened before they get near your business. Different thinking. Shared standards. That's where the real value sits.

"Working with Jade to get up to speed on HubSpot at Zato was a game changer. What stood out most was how naturally she communicated. She explained things in a way that actually made sense, adapted to how I learn, and made what felt overwhelming suddenly feel manageable.

Before working with Jade, HubSpot felt intimidating and I struggled for weeks trying to figure it out on my own. Jade taught me in days what had taken me weeks to try and learn by myself. She broke everything down step by step, made sure I was comfortable before moving on, and gave me the confidence to use the platform independently. Even when I made mistakes, she calmly walked me through the problem and showed me how to fix it myself.

Jade combines patience, reassurance, and genuine expertise in a way that makes complex systems feel approachable. What once felt impossible quickly became achievable with her guidance. I’d recommend her without hesitation."
