"Breton has a deep understanding of my vision and makes me feel genuinely heard, supported, and valued; and gives me confidence in moving forward with my decisions."
- Zara Malcom
"Breton has been a pivotal piece in both my business & personal development. He has been a reliable mentor helping guide decisions and next steps within the start-up phase as well as through-out the business process, listening and providing sound advice for any business opportunities or issues."
- Victoria Fraser, Owner VF
"Breton’s work as a business advisor the perfect mix of objective and invested.
Breton’s ability to customise and adapt his communication and approach to a style that works best for his clients is a true credit to his versatility and depth of understanding on any given topic. "
- Courtney Haines, 3C Communications
"Breton has been an absolutely vital lifeline in my business. From getting him on board at the start-up phase to continued mentoring and business support, he has been the reason for my success. Breton knows his stuff, and he is extremely well-informed across a broad range of industries."
- Tara Langman, MarketHer
"Breton has been an invaluable sounding board for every aspect of my business. He has also played a crucial role in bridging the gaps in my business knowledge, ensuring that my business was set up for success from the very beginning."
- Leah White, Ladeda
"Breton has a deep understanding of my vision and makes me feel genuinely heard, supported, and valued; and gives me confidence in moving forward with my decisions."
- Zara Malcom
"Breton likes to get hands on with clients and if things aren’t getting done he will have the perfect outsource partner to refer the work too or he gets stuck in and helps the client complete the work. It’s that difference that has working together for the last 6 + years and what will continue for years to come!"
- Chantelle Good, Varntige
"The greatest advantage of having Breton on board was realized during 2020 when things got very confusing for everyone with COVID-19. We were able to leave it up to Breton to bring us current information around requirements, regulations, and subsidies. He essentially took over, and that was invaluable to us."
- Roger Ramsey, Roger Ramsey Building
"My favourite thing Breton has done for me was help me see the value of what I offer. My confidence was low and he helped me build that into pure belief that I can do it. He makes things easy for me to understand and will tell me when my mind strays too far."
- Ashley Smith, Ashley Ellen Hypnobirthing
"Breton has been mentoring me over 3 years and has become an irreplaceable help to my life and career.
He is a plethora of useful information and will always either have an answer to a question or be willing to research it and come back with one."
- Lily Anderson, Sprig Management

The 4Pillars of a Thriving Business
Financials. Operations. Strategy. Customer Experience.
They’re simple in theory — but success comes from getting the basics right and keeping them running smoothly.
Neglected details? Silent profit leaks? That’s where performance slips through the cracks. I call it leakage. It’s common, but fixable — and it starts with tightening the foundation.
Want to know where your business is leaking?
