In Revenue Reconciled Across Payments and Accounting

Companies I’ve Worked With

Your business grew. Your systems didn’t.

The data is there - but it’s siloed, inconsistent, and built on systems that weren’t designed to scale.

So you don’t have a clear view of the business.

And decisions get made on instinct instead of numbers.

These problems show up like this:

• Teams working from different definitions of the same metrics

• Finance asking questions your reporting can’t answer

• Payment, POS, or operational data doesn’t reconcile

• Reporting takes days or weeks to assemble

• Leadership debating which numbers are actually correct

These aren’t talent problems. They’re systems problems.

By the time the numbers look wrong, decisions have already been made.

I build the infrastructure so your numbers actually work.

Connected, reconciled systems that produce reliable numbers automatically - documented and built to scale.

When Systems Work, Numbers Follow.

Here's how we’ll work together.

01 — Discover

We start with a discovery session to understand your business, your goals, and where the friction is. No changes until we know exactly what we're working with.


02 — Audit

We dig into your data and find what's broken. You get a complete picture of why your numbers don't tie out - and exactly what needs to be rebuilt.


03 — Build

We rebuild the infrastructure - data architecture, reporting, KPI frameworks - so your numbers are reliable and your team can move fast.


04 — Deliver

You get a single source of truth your leadership can trust, and the confidence to make decisions without second-guessing the numbers.


This is usually a fit for:

Multi-Location & Hospitality Brands

Your sales data lives in one system. Your revenue is tracked in another. When those don’t connect, forecasting becomes guesswork instead of a decision tool.

E-Commerce and D2C Brands

Shopify and your payment processor rarely tell the same story. When they don’t, you’re making channel and spend decisions on incomplete numbers.

Real acquisition cost, true customer value, and what’s actually driving revenue stay hidden until the data connects.

SaaS + Subscription Businesses

Churn is quiet, lifetime value is a guess, and the clients worth keeping look the same as the ones bleeding margin.

You need a system that shows the difference before it costs you.

About Stephen

The Revenue Engineer

I've always been driven by the "why" behind the numbers. Data isn't just spreadsheets - it's clarity for people who have to make hard decisions under pressure. My career has been built on one principle: a model is only as good as its ability to be used by the team on the ground.

I spent 10+ years at companies including Warby Parker, Tacombi, and Kung Fu Tea building the data infrastructure that makes revenue growth possible. The work was unglamorous. Payment reconciliation, messy pipelines, reporting nobody trusted. But the results were real.

I founded Steinbacher Business Advisory because I kept seeing small and mid-size businesses struggling with the same messy data problems I solved at the enterprise level, without the internal team to fix them. So I built a practice that does.
