How the engagements connect

Every service targets a specific Hidden Tax. LTEM Advisory is the coordinator — under it, you can layer in any combination. Most clients start with the Financial Engine (Bookkeeping & Fractional CFO) because clean books are the foundation everything else measures from.

The Readiness suite (Capital, Exit, Transferability, Quality of Earnings) has a defined endpoint; LTEM Advisory, the Financial Engine, and Cap Table Management are continuous. AI Readiness and ProfitFlow Design are install-then-monitor engagements.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which advisory service to start with?+

Use the service-selector above — it routes by your most pressing need. Most clients also take the free OWNABLE Assessment first, which scores the Five Hidden Taxes in real dollars and surfaces the highest-leverage engagement.

Can I engage more than one service at once?+

Yes. LTEM Advisory coordinates all others under one equity plan. Bookkeeping & Fractional CFO is often the first to launch because clean books are the foundation everything else runs on.

What size businesses do you work with?+

Established owner-led businesses with $500K–$5M in revenue — past survival mode, not yet fully systemized. The decisive single owner is our most common client.

Are these done-for-you or done-with-you?+

Both, depending on the service. Bookkeeping is done-for-you. LTEM Advisory is done-with-you. All engagements are run by Bootstrapper Capital senior staff and certified OWNABLE Integrators.

How long do engagements run?+

The Readiness suite has a defined scope (typically 90 days to 6 months). LTEM Advisory and the Financial Engine services are ongoing relationships — we manage your equity continuously.
