Fellow Business Owners,

Welcome to Oakes and Company. We are in the business of solving your problems and improving your business.

One common theme you will find in the description of our services is knowledge. Knowledge is power.  Having a true understanding of your business will give you the knowledge (and ability) to make correct decisions, and make correct decisions daily. Business owners face many challenges in the current competitive economy. You have to not only do what you do better than anyone else and keep reaching and growing to insure that happens but also you have to keep your house in order so you can reach your goals and maximize your potential. I am a firm believer that there is untapped potential in every business, no matter how small or large. There is always room to improve and to grow.

Every business is as unique as its owner. We pride ourselves in understanding your needs and priorities and working toward a healthier business. If you are a young start-up and have questions, we can provide the answers and get you started on the right path. If you are an established business with problems, we can get to the issues, resolve them, and develop a plan for improvement. Or, if your business is strong and ready for expansion, we can provide the knowledge and implement a plan to profitably grow.  No matter what your issues, we can help you.

I have been in business for over 30 years and have developed many close contacts over those years. I have brought together the best and the brightest in their respective fields and offer a wide range of services: Business Coaching, Human Resources, Accounting/Finance, IT, and Online Marketing and Development. It is no longer enough to have a good product or service and work hard. In today’s marketplace, so many other factors are important. Overhead must be kept low and you have to know where every dollar is coming from and going to. You must have the right tools to function well.  The necessary technological tools are ever changing. Today’s litigious and regulatory environment requires that you be educated about HR, the internet and social media. Your internet presence must be effective;  your web site must be strong and well positioned to guarantee your company will be found.  Social media is gaining in importance daily — tweets, blogs, Instagram, FaceBook — it is ALL important. We understand this, we do it and do it well and can help you build a stronger, leaner, more agile business and, most importantly, a more profitable one.

Welcome to Oakes and Company.  I look forward to speaking with you!
