The Business Advisory Panel is a partnership between CoachStation (leadership, culture, and marketing expertise) and Michael Haupt Accounting (finance, strategy, and business planning expertise). Together the panel brings the breadth of perspective that most leadership teams cannot generate internally.

▲ Where You Are Strong
◆ Where Advisory Creates Leverage
Ready to Go Further?
Your results reveal where external perspective will create the most leverage. A Business Advisory Panel session combines commercial, financial, and leadership expertise to turn this clarity into confident action.
Decision Brief
Complete one section per significant decision before your BAP session. This gives the panel the context they need to challenge your thinking effectively and helps you arrive with clarity rather than just questions.
Context
What is happening in the business right now that makes this decision relevant? What led to this point?
The Decision
State the specific decision you need to make as clearly and concisely as possible. One decision per brief.
Options Considered
What options have you already considered? Include the option of doing nothing.
Risks, Assumptions and Known Unknowns
What are you assuming to be true? What could go wrong? What do you not yet know but need to?
What Good Looks Like in 90 Days
If this decision goes well, what will be true in 90 days that is not true today? Be specific.
What I Need from the Panel
Are you seeking challenge, validation, alternative perspectives, or something else? Be direct about what would be most useful.
Your Decision Brief
Ready to Bring External Perspective Into Your Business?
The diagnostic tools give you clarity on where you stand. A Business Advisory Panel session goes further, combining commercial, financial, and leadership expertise to turn that clarity into confident action.
