Welcome

Clear, practical advice for the business you actually run

What we do

We help owner-run businesses in central Kansas make clear decisions about money, people and growth — with a plan you can actually follow.

Business Strategy Sessions

A half-day working session that turns what you already know about your business into a one-page plan: where the money comes from, what to stop doing, and the three moves that matter this year.

Financial Clarity

We read your numbers with you — pricing, margins, cash flow, what the bank will ask — and set up a simple monthly routine so you always know where you stand.

Team & Leadership Coaching

For owners who are hiring their first manager or growing past ten people: roles, accountability, hard conversations, and how to lead without doing everything yourself.

Our story

Kestrel & Finch started in 2013 at a kitchen table in Salina, when two friends who had spent years inside larger consulting firms decided that small-business owners deserved the same quality of advice — without the jargon or the hourly meter running. Today we are a team of three advisors who work with family businesses, trades, clinics and shops across central Kansas. We keep our client list small on purpose, so every business gets an advisor who knows the owner by name, understands the numbers, and answers the phone.

Why Choose Us?

Plain answers from advisors who have run businesses themselves — no jargon, no hourly meter, and a plan you can act on next week.

01.
We've run businesses

Every advisor here has owned or run a company. We know what a slow January feels like.

02.
Plain language

You'll never need a glossary. If we can't explain it simply, we haven't understood it.

03.
A small client list

We take on a limited number of businesses so you always reach the advisor who knows you.

04.
Plans you can act on

Every engagement ends with next steps for next week, not a binder for the shelf.

Rated 5 out of 5
Sofia sat down with our numbers and within an hour we could see why busy months still felt tight. Six months on, we have a pricing structure that works and a cash cushion for the first time.

I came in thinking I needed more clients. They showed me I needed fewer, better ones. That one conversation changed how I run the studio.

Daniel helped us hire our first operations manager and, more importantly, helped me let go of the work. Straight talk, no fluff, and they pick up the phone.
