Traverse City, Michigan
You're running the business.
You just can't see it.
Most owners of $500K–$3M businesses are succeeding — or surviving — without a clear picture of what's actually happening inside the business. The owner runs on memory and intuition. The books are disconnected. The real picture is somewhere between sales data, the bank account, and a conversation with a part-time bookkeeper.
We find that picture. Then we build the systems to keep it visible.
Financial Forensics
We triangulate your real numbers from disconnected sources — sales data, bank statements, vendor records, payroll data. Not what you think is true. What is true.
Systems Architecture
We design the operational infrastructure that lets your business run without you in the room — and lets you see everything clearly when you're not.
Custom Development
When off-the-shelf tools won't solve the problem, we build the software. Full-stack capability, production-grade, built for how your specific business actually works.
Who this is for
"Things feel out of control and I can't get my arms around them. I might be able to spend a full day and figure out supply costs, or get an understanding of my employee expenses — but I have a hundred tasks like that and I don't know where to start. And then where it really gets scary is understanding how all of these things relate to one another."
If that is your business — you have real revenue, real operations, and a growing sense that you're flying blind — that is exactly the engagement Ebla Advisory was built for.

Your accountant, attorney, IT firm, business coach, and fractional CFO all do their jobs well. But none of them triangulate your real financial picture from disconnected primary sources. None of them design operational systems. And none of them build custom software when off-the-shelf tools won't work.
Here's what none of them do.

|---|---|---|
| Accountant | Tax compliance, bookkeeping | Financial forensics, systems design, software |
| Attorney | Legal structure, contracts, compliance | Financial analysis, operational systems, technology |
| IT Firm | Infrastructure, hardware, networks | Business logic, financial visibility, custom software |
| Business Coach | Accountability, goal-setting | Financial forensics, systems architecture, development |
| Fractional CFO | Financial oversight, reporting | Primary-source triangulation, system builds, custom software |
