Get support for financial management

Meet with experts in finance

Work with one of our trusted financial management professionals to learn methods and techniques to keep your business finances crystal clear and understandable. These advisors can support you in:

  • Understand critical finance documents
  • Make a plan to increase your business’ profitability
  • Prepare to meet with a lender
  • Project sales, help you set up systems to get finances organized, and more

Elevate Hennepin advisors offer strategic guidance for your business to get to the next step. While they may support some implementation activities, business owners are responsible for ongoing maintenance and day-to-day operations. Businesses should be prepared to engage their own resources for complex projects that are anticipated to take more than 25 hours.

Contact an advisor below to help you identify and plan for your critical next step or visit our Resource Directory to find more financial management options or resources across all our support categories.
