Who runs StashGrade
I'm Mike Petroskey. I've spent the last two decades in IT infrastructure, development, operations, integrations, financial technology, and construction SaaS.
Along the way I worked with private equity buyers and the companies they bought. The pattern was hard to miss. Owners who knew their financial health cold, and ran a tight operations playbook, exited for eight figures. Owners with the same trucks and similar revenue who didn't, exited for seven.
Most owners and growth operators in the specialty trades are missing the same two things. A financial snapshot they can read at a glance. And a straight answer on what to do with it.
I run a tech advisory firm, However We Got Here, and work with specialty contractors directly. Every engagement started the same way. Pull the books apart, find the leaks, set the baseline. I was running that same diagnostic by hand for every client. So I built it.
StashGrade is that diagnostic. It reads the books, grades the financial health of the business, and points at the next decision. A calibration tool you can run every week.
If any of this sounds like your business, write me. I read and answer my own email: [email protected]. I'm also on LinkedIn.
