How an engagement works

  1. Listen

    A conversation about where the business is, where you want it to go and what’s in the way.

  2. Diagnose

    We review your numbers, process and market to find the few things that matter most.

  3. Plan

    A short, written plan with owners, dates and the measures we’ll use to judge progress.

  4. Execute together

    We work alongside your team through implementation and adjust as results come in.

Ways to work with us

Strategy session

A focused working session on one decision or problem, with a written summary and next steps.

Good for: a specific question that needs an outside view.

Project

A defined scope, timeline and deliverable, from diagnosis through implementation.

Good for: a launch, a transaction or a system rebuild.

Advisory retainer

Ongoing access to a senior advisor, with regular check-ins and on-call support.

Good for: owners who want a steady second opinion.

Small firm. Senior attention.

You work directly with the people giving the advice. No hand-offs to junior staff, no hundred-slide decks. Just a clear plan and the help to carry it out.

  4. Execute together

    We stay through implementation, meet on a set rhythm and adjust as we learn.

What we hold ourselves to

Plain answers

We tell you what we think and why, including when it isn’t what you hoped to hear.

Measurable work

Every engagement has goals we can check. If it can’t be measured, we say so up front.

Your interests first

Our advice isn’t tied to products or commissions. We recommend what’s right for your business.

About Earner & Co.

A remote consulting firm working with businesses across the United States, built by people who’ve run sales teams, closed real estate deals and managed the money side of growing companies.

Our story

We didn’t start out as consultants. We spent our careers doing the work: building and running sales teams, taking real estate deals from contract to closing, working the title, escrow and lending side of transactions, and keeping the books straight for companies that were growing faster than their systems.

Along the way we sat across the table from lenders, buyers and partners, rebuilt pipelines that had stalled, and watched good businesses get tripped up by problems nobody warned them about. Most of those problems were fixable. They just needed someone who’d seen them before.

That’s why we started Earner & Co. Owners don’t need a thick report. They need someone who understands the work to look at the numbers, tell them plainly what’s going on, and help fix it.

Our team

Our advisors come from the operating side of business, not from a consulting firm’s bench. When you work with us, you get the whole team’s experience, not one person’s point of view.

Sales

Built and led sales teams, designed compensation plans, and sold in competitive markets where every deal had to be earned.

Real estate

Residential and commercial transactions, title and closing work, and property strategy across multiple states.

Finance

Lending, capital structure, cash flow planning and the day-to-day financial management of operating companies.

Common questions

Is the first consultation free?

Yes. The first conversation is free and carries no obligation. We use it to understand your situation and tell you honestly whether we can help.

What size businesses do you work with?

Mostly owner-led and mid-sized companies, from early-stage teams to established businesses planning their next stage of growth.

We’re a remote firm and work with clients anywhere in the United States. Meetings happen by video or phone, and we can travel for on-site sessions when it helps.
