Greg McDonough

Greg is a seasoned executive who has owned and operated businesses in the professional services sector, navigating them through both good and tough times. He brings his personal experience of knowing what it’s like to be ‘in the owner’s seat’ when working with clients, taking time to ask the questions others may not.

Greg is involved in many business support organizations, currently serving as the President of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) Washington, D.C. Chapter. He is also a member of the Association for Corporate Growth and the British-American Business Association.

I love those moments when I see my clients transition from being overwhelmed and totally in the weeds, to being in control. Giving people that power around the financial aspects of their business is why I love what I do.
