Plan. Execute.
Succeed.
Don’t fall short of your strategic goals due to inconsistent planning processes, lack of coordination, outdated systems, or low data visibility.
Our Story
I founded OVG in 2019 to help clients with building and scaling business operations with a combination of process improvement, technology adoption, and a holistic approach to planning.
After many years working in consulting, enterprise software, and finance, I’ve seen both the power of effective planning and execution, where everyone is rowing in the same direction, and the drag of the opposite, where inertia, uncertainty, and conflict hinder progress.
At OVG, we believe that your operations should reflect not just your industry but your unique strategy, differentiators, and culture. We provide cross-functional services to FP&A, GTM Operations, Supply Chain Operations, BI, and Business Operations teams.
Our singular goal is to provide our clients with maximum value on planning investments, driving growth, margins, team morale, and overall business value.
Trusted by clients across verticals and growth stages
Purpose-built to address the multifaceted challenges of business operations
Dual Threat
We bring both functional and technical knowledge, and every person on our team both understands business and knows how to build solutions.
Multidisciplinary
Nobody knows your business better than you. While our experience spans functions, industries, and technologies, we prioritize learning about you.
Client-centric
We always put you first, whether it’s sharing our knowledge with the team, negotiating on your behalf, or providing informed recommendations.
Our Services
We offer a variety of services that can be tailored to your business and specific needs.
Deploy planning software to empower your team
With many businesses in a near constant state of planning, creating leverage with technology automates repetitive/time-intensive processes and frees you up for strategic decision-making, business partnering, and other value-add activities.
We can help you choose, implement, and manage the right planning technology solution with superior time-to-value and minimal cost.
We are partnered with both Anaplan and Planful and are familiar with many other offerings to help you make an informed decision.
Forecast all areas of your business with confidence
We help you design and build models to connect planning across your organization, including the 3 financial statements (both direct and indirect cash flow), workforce, capital expenditures, sales/marketing pipeline, sales capacity, incentive compensation, demand planning, supply chain optimization, and more.
From simple models informed by inputs from the field to more sophisticated predictive models, we equip your team with what they need to tell both the operational and financial story and make decisions accordingly.
Extend your team when you need a boost
Managing the ups and downs of finance resourcing is difficult.
We can augment your team with support ranging from project-level engagements to fractional COO/CFO or business operations roles.
Our team has extensive practitioner experience and we can hit the ground running to save you both time and money on hiring and training for ad hoc needs.
We will advise you and your team on planning best practices that we have seen work across industries, and share knowledge and skills to force multiply capacity.
Engage the business with low-code apps
Business operations teams are expected to both coordinate across the organization and oversee technology more than ever.
In addition to planning software, we are also well-versed in Microsoft Power Platform. Microsoft’s leading low-code product suite includes Power Apps, Power Pages, Power BI, Power Automate, and Power Query.
With low-code, we can help you build business apps in a matter of days or weeks to cover tricky use cases such as closed loop headcount planning (Requisition->Hire), time-tracking, project operations, and other cross-functional processes that are typically difficult to manage.
These apps can be built bespoke to your needs, are accessible on mobile, and do not generate any incremental software costs on top of Microsoft 365.
Eliminate data roadblocks to unlock insights
We help you to source and connect the datasets that are most important for planning, e.g.,customers, employees, financials, and ensure that they accurate and granular enough to provide insights.
Where needed, we’ll adapt your business processes to collect and tag data the right way. Finally, we’ll link your models together and equip your team to maintain going forward.
Connect to the business with familiar tools
Spreadsheets are more powerful than ever with cloud collaboration, more computing power, business workflows, scripting, and AI capabilities.
Instead of ‘killing’ spreadsheets, embrace their power effectively on their own or in conjunction with a planning solution.
Leverage spreadsheets to share information with the business, create predictive models, manage datasets, or conduct analysis.
Engage your business partners and save money by using tools that they already know.
