Mira Gentile
Corporate Accountant

Various Businesses

“I have worked with Steven for over 10 years on mutual clients where I have acted in the capacity as the company’s accountant.  It has been incredibly important to have someone with the experience Steven has looking at the business from a higher level.  Steven has been instrumental in pushing these businesses forward, whether it’s been through strategic planning, forecasting and budgeting or overall business advice.

Steven has a knack for asking the right, and often tough questions, that have set us off on a positive course of action.  He is knowledgeable, practical, and approachable. I would not hesitate to recommend Steven to anyone looking for guidance in business and finance – from start-up to well established businesses.”

Floorscapes Inc.

“Floorscapes has been a client of BusinessWORKS since 2004. Why over a decade? Simple. Steven enjoys working to help improve our business. He really loves his work and it shows in our annual results and on-going relationship.

While we started working with him to help solve our company issues of bordering on insolvency, transforming us to a company with a solid foundation and a bright future, we’ve continued to work with him because of the value he brings. From being a fresh set of eyes from an outside perspective, he has been able to help us grow both in revenue dollars and profitability. The strategy that we agreed upon together has been to invest in our people and infrastructure, while attempting to maintain a reasonable return on investment. Now, we are five times our revenues from when we started working together, which allows us to concentrate on maximizing returns for more meaningful results.

In all honesty, I do not know where our company would be had we not started working with Steven. I would, and in fact do, recommend BusinessWORKS where and when I can.”

Hard Rock Developments Inc.

“For the past 15 years, Steven has been an integral part of our Hard Rock team. As a business owner, I believe that you are never done growing your business. With Steven, he is able to help me continue this growth. He offers a safe place for me to bounce my ideas around, sometimes supporting, sometimes challenging, but always guiding to help me grow my business. 

When first working together, he realized I was in over my head and was quickly able to show me some basic steps to take to assist me in truly saving my business. Since then, he has been my sounding board, my accountability partner, and advisor. He brings me great comfort knowing that I am making the smartest moves. 

As an entrepreneur, you cannot possibly manage all aspects of a well-run business. You need the support and knowledge of a guy like Steven to assist you in growing and maximizing your potential. 

For your business well-being, I would absolutely recommend BusinessWORKS.”

Earthtech Energy Services Inc.

“Through BusinessWORKS, we have been able to develop our understanding of what our financials are actually telling us. With this, we can now utilize these numbers to proactively plan for the future of our business in a smart and sustainable manner.

Initially working with us for detailed accounting services and to help us forecast our financial future, Steven has brought a greater and more in depth understanding of our business, along with strategies that we easily implemented that improved our bottom line. The knowledge gained through the processes Steven used has been invaluable to us.

I would absolutely recommend BusinessWORKS to businesses requiring greater business knowledge for connecting their finances to their actions.”

Keith Beggs
President 

New West Equipment Ltd.

“Three years ago I came to BusinessWORKS to understand how to become more profitable. I wanted to become more aware of what “business finance” meant, along with how to understand cash flow and bank financing. I certainly became more aware and then some.

Since starting to work with Steven he’s helped me clarify my business goals by helping me understand the connection of past finances to my business actions. By teaching me this, I’ve found great value in how to properly develop a finance forecasting process. While he certainly asked me hard questions, they were ones I needed to have asked in order to move forward.

I would absolutely recommend Steven to other businesses looking for a better understanding of how to connect actions to finances for greater cash flow.”
