At Preston Collective, our mission is simple:
To give small business owners access to the financial strategy and forecasting that large corporations have always used to survive and thrive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe that when entrepreneurs have clarity in their numbers and a plan for their future, they make better decisions, avoid preventable losses, and grow with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Story: Why I Started Preston Collective<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started Preston Collective because during the COVID-19 pandemic, I watched far too many small businesses struggle and shut down \u2014 not because they lacked passion or talent, but because they didn\u2019t have access to the same financial tools and forecasting strategies that I had seen large corporations use successfully for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With over 20 years in corporate finance and oil & gas, I\u2019ve worked behind the scenes of billion-dollar decisions. I\u2019ve led forecasting meetings, stress-tested financial models, and advised executives through complex business cycles. And through it all, one truth stood out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strategic financial planning is not a luxury. It\u2019s a lifeline.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But small business owners are often left out of that equation \u2014 under-supported, overwhelmed, and navigating blind. I created Preston Collective to change that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I partner with entrepreneurs, consultants, and growth-minded business owners to simplify their numbers, uncover profitable opportunities, and make smarter, data-backed decisions every step of the way.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
