Testimonials

  • FinTech Startup

    “We needed a clear path to scale and attract investment. Secondwind Advisory built us a strategic blueprint that enabled both a $4M equity raise and a $20M debt facility. Their roadmap gave us focus, credibility, and the structure to launch and grow fast.”

  • CFO, Manufacturing Company

    “Previous ERP projects stalled from lack of coordination. The team’s project management skills delivered our system upgrade on time and budget, boosting sales by 25% and giving us real-time margin visibility for the first time. Their structure made all the difference.”

  • Executive Director, Government Agency

    “We lacked control and transparency in our programs, missing savings opportunities. Ryan and his team established a PMO that delivered $8M annual savings and $55M net benefits, while increasing leadership confidence through robust reporting and risk management.”
