Why do many small businesses fail to scale? Today’s guest says that it’s a function of leadership and it’s fixable.
Dave Bookbinder goes Behind The Numbers with Hal Levenson, Partner and Chief Visionary Officer at Haefele Flanagan.
Former CPA, Hal Levenson, spent many years in his accounting practice helping small and medium-sized companies, in the New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia area. An entrepreneur himself, Hal is passionate about the contributions that entrepreneurs make to economic growth, standard of living, skill advancement, and community development. Yet, in his years in accounting, he saw the frustration of CEOs trying to align business objectives with personal goals. He noticed that so many businesses seemed stuck. Employees at most every level were putting in long hours and working exceptionally hard just to get an edge on a competitor, keep up with technology or handle sensitive personnel issues.
When organizations attempt to carry out major business functions without the required skills and behaviors, it creates a great and unnecessary challenge and slows business growth. Hal founded Trilogy Partners in 2009 to provide these businesses and their CEOs with the direction, planning, and financial advice that they need. He formed a team of experienced C-Suite advisors, called Alliance Partners, who could help entrepreneurs implement their vision.
In 2021, Trilogy Partners merged with Haefele Flanagan to provide stronger outcomes for clients, whom now have access to holistic business advisory services from strategy through finance. HFConsulting services include, but are not limited to, strategic planning, executive and leadership coaching, business transition and exit planning, financial education, and C-Suite support.
In this episode we unpack the various factors that impact a company's ability to scale, including identifying blind spots; making tough decisions; creating healthy conflict to increase accountability; and more!

The sale of a business impacts many stakeholders: employees, shareholders and advisors; to name a few. And of course, the largest impact is on the business owner. The decision to sell is often difficult and perhaps the biggest decision an owner will ever make. Wouldn’t it be nice if the sale process didn’t trigger negative emotions or worse; seller’s remorse?
Dave Bookbinder goes Behind The Numbers with Denise Logan, “The Seller Whisperer” and Author of The Seller’s Journey.
In this episode Denise provides insights about the critical elements that are often missing from the M&A process. By understanding these elements, the likelihood of better outcomes (and more of them) increases dramatically for all stakeholders.
