§ About — myself

Hi, I'm Davis Haines.

I help small business owners turn the messy parts of their operation into something that runs cleanly, so they can spend more time on the part of the work they actually like.

The short version

From Marietta, with years of practice inside big business

I was born and raised in Marietta, and this place has stayed home. I care about the community here and the people who run things in it. If I'm going to be useful to anyone, I'd rather it be the businesses around me.

Most of my training came from four years at the world's largest home improvement retailer, where I ran process improvement audits across every core function of the business. The job was usually the same: parachute into a team of seasoned experts, watch how the work actually moved, and find the time and money they had stopped noticing they were losing. I have the results to show for it. Before that I was in healthcare consulting, which is where I figured out two things about myself: I like getting stuck into the data and working a problem out on my own, and there are few things I enjoy more than handing a client back money they didn't know they were leaving on the table.

I'm starting this practice because I know I can do the same kind of work for small businesses, and I want to. Not as a drop-in corporate finance type, but as a partner you can call when something's off. I'd like to learn the ins and outs of your operation along the way. I'm easy to work with, and I think you'll see a difference.

Operating principles · 06

A few things I believe
about this work.

/ 01

Plain language.

Keep it simple. I avoid jargon and buzzwords and will explain it along the way.

/ 02

Start small.

Look for easy wins that build momentum and trust before we try to move the needle on something big.

/ 03

Use what you have.

Before we add another tool, we see how far the ones you already pay for can go.

/ 04

You keep the playbook.

Every project ends with documentation your team can run without me in the room.

/ 05

AI is a tool.

I'll happily talk you out of an AI project that doesn't make sense for you and your business.

/ 06

Plain pricing.

Fixed scope where I can. If something isn't worth doing, I'll tell you.
