Founder, Fonder
As a small, growing business, we knew where we wanted to go but didn’t have a clear roadmap to get there. Working with Volare and Shamus as our business coach and advisor has completely changed that. He helped us define the right financial foundation and avoid early pitfalls by bringing a finance-first mindset to everything from pricing and services to growth, accountability, team planning, lead generation strategies, and connecting us to his network. We now have a clear, scalable path forward, and the confidence to grow the right way, something every early or small business could benefit from.

When I decided I needed a business advisory coach, it was important for me to find someone trustworthy, experienced, and who had a finance-first mindset. Shamus was that perfect match, and I highly recommend his business advisory for anyone looking to confidently scale their business!
CEO, Duct Tape Marketing
We engaged with Volare to start thinking about long-term exit planning services as a family business and our advisor was incredible to work with. Though the relationship, we were able to think through questions and solutions with an expert and outside perspective, which helped us get more clarity on the direction we wanted to go moving forward. I would highly recommend the team at Volare for exit planning.

Founder, SPARK6
My agency had the good fortune of working with Volare.ai at a crucial time in our journey. Having been around for 15 years, we enlisted Volare's assistance to get clarity on how we can scale and position ourselves as an acquisition target. Using their methodology and industry insights, we were able to improve several facets of our business and operations. In addition, Volare helped create a vision and offer for the next 12 months at a time when the technology industry is quite unpredictable. We got a lot of value from our engagement and appreciate all that the team did for us.
Founder, Bradley Smith Photography
Volare AI has played a major role in my photography business's growth the past year. I tend to prioritize creative work and neglect the structural work that is essential for growing my business and achieving my career goals. I approached Volare for help in this area and my advisor's enthusiasm immediately confirmed for me that I had made the right choice. They've helped me build a framework for growing my business, focusing on sales, networking, marketing, branding, capital, operations, and logistics. Together, we set clear short-term and long-term goals with dates for each action to be completed by. The guidance and accountability along the way have been invaluable. I can't recommend Volare enough to anyone looking to level up their business. I've never been more optimistic and excited about where my business is heading.

CEO, Brand Alchemy
Working with Shamus has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for our company. When we started working together, we were doing about $17,000 in monthly recurring revenue. Within six months, we had scaled to over $100,000 MRR, and that growth was completely intentional.
Shamus has a true finance-first mindset and approaches every situation with clarity and strategic thinking. He connected us with M&A professionals who were actively looking to acquire companies like ours, helped us recruit senior-level talent, and introduced us to industry relationships that opened doors almost overnight.
What I appreciate most is that he consistently goes above and beyond what you’d expect from a business coach or advisor. Whether it’s a late-night call in a pinch or a long-term planning conversation, he is always available, and his advice is always spot on. He has guided us through finance, internal systems, HR, client care, and has been instrumental in building real accountability into how we operate.
If you’re serious about growth and want someone who understands how to scale a business the right way, I can’t recommend Shamus highly enough. He’s more than just an advisory partner. He’s been a critical part of helping us build a stronger, more valuable company.
