What Our Client Says

Grant Logue, Harley’s & John’s Seafood

It has been amazing working with John and his team. Like any small business owner you get caught up running you business and neglect some of the important things like truly understanding your financials. Your P&L is something that your accountant would send you and was never looked at again or even understood. With John we broke the business down to truly understand what everything meant. How little changes now can have a major effect on the business in the future both positive and negative. The best investment we have ever made in the business was joining the team at Journey 2.
