The NovaPath perspective

Growth should build value. Not complexity.

Revenue tells only part of the story. We connect financial performance with pricing, people, and execution so growth translates into a stronger company.

Trades & home servicesConstruction & developmentOwner-led businesses
01

Know where you stand

Reliable reporting and meaningful KPIs give owners a shared view of performance and risk.

02

Protect the margin

Examine each service line, job, and cost center. Prioritize the changes that improve cash and profitability.

03

Make execution repeatable

Clear responsibilities, regular reviews, and practical operating systems turn the plan into a management discipline.

02 / How we work

A clear path.
From diagnosis to discipline.

Every engagement starts with the business as it is today. We identify the priorities, help implement the changes, and establish a cadence to sustain progress.

Phase 01 · Diagnose

Find the real issues.

Review financials, pricing, cost structure, and operations. Leave with a findings report and a prioritized action plan.

Typical diagnostic: 2–4 weeks
Phase 02 · Implement

Put the plan to work.

Translate recommendations into pricing changes, reporting, job-cost structures, and clear operating responsibilities.

Scoped implementation program
Phase 03 · Build value

Grow EBITDA. Prepare the exit.

Monthly financials and a valuation report, a steady review cadence, and the exit-readiness work that raises your multiple.

Ongoing monthly partnership

Whether you plan to sell next year or in ten, you get a one-page valuation report with your monthly financials: what the business is worth today, what moved it, and what our work returned.

04 / The operator’s perspective

Advice grounded in the real business.

NovaPath was built around a simple conviction: owner-led companies deserve experienced financial leadership that understands crews, job sites, and payroll weeks.

Wendel’s background spans construction, lending, and home services, including advising and leading operations across a Middle Tennessee portfolio of HVAC, plumbing, development, and waste services companies. That operating experience shapes a practical approach to financial decisions, management systems, and business performance.

How do you work with my bookkeeper or CPA?

NovaPath works alongside your existing team, using the financial records to support decisions on cash, pricing, margins, operations, and growth.

What size businesses are a good fit?

Our focus is owner-led companies with approximately $1 million to $10 million in annual revenue, particularly in trades, construction, and service businesses.

Do I have to be planning to sell?

No. Many owners use the monthly valuation as their scoreboard for building wealth. When a buyer calls, or you decide the time is right, the business is already prepared.

How are engagements structured?

Diagnostics use a fixed scope. Restructuring programs are quoted in advance, and ongoing work is a monthly retainer. For owners preparing to sell, we can tie part of our fee to the value created at closing.

Do you work outside Tennessee?

Yes. Based in Middle Tennessee, NovaPath also works remotely with businesses across the United States.
