An operational firm.
Not a consultancy.
Margin Max exists to install the operating systems founder-led businesses need and rarely build for themselves. The firm runs the way the businesses it serves should run — numbers-led, system-driven, accountable to outcomes.
Operator-to-operator.
We don't produce strategy decks. We don't sell willpower as a service. We don't show up with someone else's framework. The deliverable is always the same: a working system installed inside the business, a measurable change in how the numbers behave, and a team that runs the system after we leave.
Founder-led companies — particularly in roofing, construction, and home services — carry more operational load than the org chart shows. Too much of the operation lives in the founder's head. Margin Max moves it into a system the team can actually run.
Five operating principles.
Margin is the signal.
Revenue is loud and unreliable. Margin tells the truth about the operation. Every system we install ties back to a margin number you can actually see.
Make the numbers visible.
If leadership can't see the number every week, the team will never feel it. Visibility isn't a nice-to-have. It's the floor everything else stands on.
Make the team answerable.
Visibility without accountability is a dashboard nobody opens. The weekly rhythm, the ownership, and the review get installed alongside the system that produced the number — so the team is answerable to the numbers, not the owner.
Build for the team that stays.
Systems that need a consultant to maintain them aren't systems — they're dependencies. Margin Max installs operating systems the in-house team owns from day one and runs after we leave.
The diagnostic comes before the prescription.
Every engagement begins with a structured read of how the business actually runs. Nothing gets prescribed before the field study is complete. The findings shape the install — not the other way around.
Operator first. Builder of the system.
Jeremy Reece has spent more than two decades inside founder-led businesses — not advising them from across the table. The work has been done in the operator's seat: finance leadership, multi-crew field operations, construction systems, and hospitality at volume. Wherever the business was growing faster than what one person could hold together.
The work is consistent. Walk into a business that has outgrown the systems supporting it. See how it actually runs. Install the focused set of systems the operation needs — clearer numbers, cash that moves on a schedule, a team that runs the playbook. Stay until the team owns the systems from the inside.
Background includes:
Controller and senior finance leadership
Multi-location operations
Construction and field-service execution
CRM and reporting system builds
AR cleanup and cash discipline
National operational training and public speaking
The pattern across every engagement is the same — a business that grew faster than its systems, an owner carrying weight that should be in a system, and no one inside the building who has done this work before. Operator first. Builds the system. Then helps leadership run it.
Designed for serious operating companies.
Margin Max is built for the company that has crossed the line from "we can will this through" to "we need a system." Typical patterns at engagement:
- Revenue between $2M and $40M
- Founder still inside the operation
- CRM in use but uninstrumented
- Margin reconciled at month-end, not weekly
- AR aging beyond 60 days unmanaged
- No installed operating cadence
- Hiring won't fix what the system can't see
Schedule an operational assessment.
An operational review is the cleanest way to start. Structured, finite, and confidential — designed to give you a grounded reading on how your business actually runs.
