Strategic guidance from real people who have built, bought, & sold businesses
About Us
We are Andrew and Carla. We help business owners and investors make clear, grounded decisions when the stakes are real. We have personally owned & operated several businesses across various fields in health care, finance, real estate, and child care. We love to work with growing businesses and enterprises to help develop clear goals and pathways for greater profitability.
Our Values
We do not sell hype or one-size-fits-all answers. Sometimes the right move is not the most profitable one on paper. Our role is to lay out the options, the risks, and the tradeoffs so you can make the decision that actually fits your business and your life.
Our “Why”
For more than a decade, we have been operators, buyers, sellers, and advisors. We have sat on both sides of the table, made expensive mistakes, and learned where theory breaks down in the real world.
We built Cascadia Advisory Group because too many business owners are forced to make high-stakes decisions with incomplete information, conflicted incentives, or advisors who have never actually carried the weight themselves.
Large enterprise and state organizations look for real-world insight for policy development. We love to share our data to help drive meaningful change.
We Can Help, Because We’ve Been There
At Cascadia Advisory Group, we believe the best advice comes from direct experience — not theory. With backgrounds in Applied Behavior Analysis, child care, and real estate, we have built, scaled, and sold successful companies, and now use that firsthand knowledge to help other business owners gain clarity and control.
Your 2-For-The-Price-of-One wife & husband team provides quick, on-demand consultation by phone, text, or video for leaders who need trusted advice and practical solutions fast.
Whether you’re preparing for an audit, reviewing KPIs, facing tough operational decisions, or getting ready to buy or sell a business, you’ll get real guidance from real experience — right when you need it.
We also help state, government, & enterprise organizations develop and review policy with tailored insights, real-world data, and shared experiences.
