David Chiafulio
Small Business Consultant
About Me:
I have owned two small businesses over a twenty-year period in Hillsboro, Oregon. My first business was a UPS Store franchise. I am proud to say that we received multiple awards for customer service excellence over the years, and we were very highly regarded by the community. The second business was a café that catered towards parents with young children called Munchkin Playland. We were delighted to be recognized as the best kid-centric café in Portland by various local publications.
My academic background comprises of an accounting degree from the University of Washington and an MBA from Babson College (U.S. News & World Report named Babson the top MBA in Entrepreneurship for 31 consecutive years).
How I Can Help:
I can empathize with what you are experiencing as a small business owner. I understand that you are ultimately responsible for operations, information technology, payroll, customer relations, government compliance, bookkeeping, janitorial needs and more! I know that when you take a vacation, you are not truly on vacation. I also appreciate the difficulty of balancing your business life with your home life.
As your small business consultant, I can provide guidance at whatever stage you may be in:
Start-Up Stage: Discuss your business model, federal and state regulations, accounting and payroll options and have in-depth discussions about the highs and lows of business ownership.
Operating Stage: Impart insight on ways to boost cash flow, improve inventory management, streamline bookkeeping, reduce expenses, and build upon your sales offerings. In particular, I can teach you how to use Quickbooks Online and help you save a substantial amount of money in bookkeeping costs.
Selling Stage: Suggest tips on maximizing the value of your business as you prepare for the sale.
My pledge is to help you grow your business in any way I can. Please feel free to contact me, and we can have a conversation about how I may be able to help you. If we decide to move forward, I will be dedicated to improving your business.
Thank you for your consideration.
