At Ballast, we pride ourselves on using finance & accounting to help businesses uncover insights that drive meaningful change. And that’s an important task when so many of our clients are driving meaningful change for their customers, too! One client who exemplifies this is Jim Fitzgerald, Founder/CEO of Taradel, a marketing company that helps small and medium businesses grow. Here’s what Jim had to say about working with Ballast: "The RevOps assessment Ballast provided gave us previously unknown insight that will positively impact our sales operations going forward. It’s no surprise, every dollar we’ve invested with Ballast has led to significant ROI. I’m convinced their Rev Ops assessment will continue to deliver the same value we’ve grown accustomed to." We’re so thankful for Taradel’s partnership and proud to support their journey as they scale. It’s rewarding to see our clients unlock their full potential. Have you considered how RevOps could help your business? Let us know—we’d love to start a conversation. #ClientSpotlight #RevOps #RevenueGrowth #BallastConsulting
