The long version

Why this book, now.

Most founders Rob meets aren't bad at business. They're good at the thing — the service, the product, the relationships — and operating blind to the four or five numbers that would actually change how they run. That's the gap the book is written into. He's seen the pattern across 3,500+ entrepreneurial journeys.

The framing in The Small-Business Money Game — the four numbers, the eight breakpoints, the decision doc — comes from a thousand repeats of the same advisory pattern. Rob started writing it down after the fifth time someone asked him 'wait, is this in a book somewhere?'

Today Rob is CEO of JBS Corp, a modern financial leadership firm he transformed from his family's neighborhood tax practice.
