The 3-Pillar Methodology
Most small businesses don't need complicated corporate theories. They need a partner who can look at the data, pinpoint the breakdown, and help build a real strategy to fix it.
Analyze Data & Operations
Step back and look at your real numbers. We analyze revenue streams, service pricing, customer retention, and daily workflows to see what's actually happening under the hood.
- Revenue stream & margin breakdown
- Customer & lead retention tracking
- Workflow & data audit
Identify Bottlenecks & Drag
Pinpoint the exact friction points draining your capacity. Whether it's messy scheduling, broken spreadsheets, or lost leads, we identify what's holding growth back.
- Operational time & cost leakages
- Scheduling & dispatch headaches
- Role ambiguity & hiring blockers
Develop & Execute Growth Strategy
Turn findings into clear systems. We build practical Google Sheets dashboards, configure tools, establish SOPs, and set an actionable path for scalable growth.
- Custom spreadsheet tools & dashboards
- Repeatable SOPs & lead tracking
- Data-driven roadmap to scale
You don't need a giant consulting firm.
Many small business owners are tradespeople, doctors, service providers, or creators who are masters of their craftsmanship. But as the business grows, administrative tasks, spreadsheets, scheduling headaches, and data chaos start taking over.
Traditional High-Priced Consulting
- Expensive retainer models designed for big corporations.
- Hands you a massive PDF binder of suggestions and leaves you to build it.
- Over-complicated corporate jargon ("exponential growth transformation").
- Pushes expensive enterprise software you don't actually need.
Hands-On Partner (McGrew Business Solutions)
- No upfront commitment. Accessible, straightforward support when you need it.
- Rolls up sleeves alongside you to build the spreadsheets, setup tools, and fix workflows.
- Grounded, honest, practical communication without consultant buzzwords.
- Focuses on simple, effective solutions that match your actual business size.

Hi, I'm Mark McGrew.
My professional background is rooted in business data analytics, revenue analytics, sales analytics, and business operations.
In my career, my focus has been on analyzing revenue streams, understanding customer behavior, tracking retention, measuring KPIs, and building clean reporting that turns messy data into clear, actionable decisions.
What I enjoy most is the broader problem-solving side of business: stepping into a situation, figuring out how it currently works, pinpointing where things are breaking down, researching solutions, building a practical system, and verifying that it actually worked.
"You're the expert in your trade or service. I bring an outside analytical perspective, business tools, data skills, and the hands-on time to tackle the problems you haven't been able to finish."
What You Can Expect
Grounded Communication: Plain English explanations, no corporate buzzwords.
Hands-on Execution: Building sheets, setting up tools, and configuring systems yourself or alongside you.
Data-Driven Logic: Decisions backed by your real numbers, not guesswork.
