Booking a session for your firm or conference? Start a conversation
Accounting is a people business wearing a spreadsheet costume. The numbers are the easy part. The hard part is the conversation where someone decides what to do next.
Every service here works on that conversation from a different angle. Improv trains the listening. Continuity planning removes the panic. Coaching gets the owner out of their own way. Fractional CFO work ties all of it back to the P&L.
Software can automate the busywork. It cannot replace the judgment your clients are actually paying for.
Every engagement starts with a conversation about what better would actually look like for your business.
For founder-led businesses that have outgrown bookkeeping but are not ready to hire a full-time CFO.
One-on-one work with firm owners and operators who know what needs to change and want someone in the room while they do it.
Workshops that train professionals to listen actively, think on their feet, and connect with clients and colleagues. Taught on site anywhere in the US, under the Outspoken Improv name, and qualified for CPE credit at national accounting conferences.
Visit Outspoken ImprovWhat happens to your business if you are suddenly not there? Plan Ahead is a guided workshop series that produces a complete business emergency plan: access, authority, instructions, and the people who need to know. Built for owners who have spent years on something too important to leave unprotected.
The next cohort is not scheduled yet. Join the announcements and you will hear first.
Get the announcementsI started studying improvisational theater in 2012 and watched it change my consulting practice. Not because it made me funnier. Because it made me a better listener.
Spire Consulting Services is my firm. The work has grown from accounting and systems into coaching, training, continuity planning, and software, because those turned out to be the same problem seen from different sides.
I speak fluent spreadsheet and fluent stage, and I know exactly how it feels to be the analytical person in the room being asked to play.
Three ways, depending on what you need.
Where I post most often about the profession, the products, and whatever I am learning on stage.
