Your Business Strategy
Business Strategy & Advisory
Once your finances are clear, we help you grow. From sales and marketing to operations, HR, IT, legal, and more — our business advisory services and network access align every part of your business to support smarter, sustainable growth.
With over 20 years of experience in tax, finance, banking, capital investment, strategic planning, operations, IT, sales, and business development, Bartek Lasota, CPA, LSSBB, has led and advised businesses across industries and stages of growth. But at heart, he’s always been an advocate for the everyday business owner — the ones doing it all, often with limited support.
Bartek founded Your Business Advisor to bring accessible, high-impact advisory services to entrepreneurs who need more than just accounting — they need a partner. Someone who understands the numbers and the bigger picture.
Our advice is grounded in financial expertise but built to support real business growth. Whether it’s helping you stay compliant, streamline your operations, or plan for the long-term, we’re here to move your business forward.
Because smart business today is what builds a better tomorrow.
Our Approach
