If you’re feeling like your business could use a push in the right direction, Cloud Friday’s business advisory services may be just what you need. Our partnership with GrowthWheel means you’ll get personalized coaching to help your business thrive.
Why Every Business Needs Business Advisory Services
You might be wondering whether or not you need business advisory services. The short answer is almost always “yes”.
Maybe you’re a solo entrepreneur with a great idea and are unsure of how to implement it. Or maybe you’re an established business owner who needs to find time to focus on growth.
As a business owner, it’s easy to get stuck in the day-to-day operation of your business. There are so many tasks you’re responsible for just to keep your business and maintain its current client base.
With a busy schedule such as yours, who has time to think about growing their business? Yet, you probably know that growing your business is a vital part of business success.
Cloud Friday’s owner, advisor and accountant, Sonya Tapley, says “A good business advisor acts as a coach and consultant. They pull you out of the forest so you can get a bird’s eye view of what your business needs to do in order to grow.”

What Exactly Is GrowthWheel?
It’s a visual communication plan centered on the four main challenges every business faces, regardless of whether they are a sole proprietor or have thousands of employees:
- Creating an attractive business concept, product, service, or technology.
- Establishing a strong organization by creating alignment between business partners, staff, suppliers, and/or vendors.
- Building lasting customer relationships from new client acquisition, through growth, and into maintenance.
- Maintaining profitable operations by managing cash flow, productivity, logistics, and operations.
“The way to grow a company is to determine which decisions to make and which actions to take.” ~ David Madie, Founder and CEO of GrowthWheel International Inc.
