Overview

I help business owners attain actionable advice from their peers in facilitated monthly board meetings (through The Alternative Board with Riana), private monthly coaching sessions, and strategic business tools to help them focus and prosper. ▶️MY STORY Over the past 20+ years, I have founded and developed multiple businesses, both independently and in collaboration with partners and venture capitalists. I have worked in various industries, to develop, improve, and grow businesses. My contributions to these projects included developing business structures, financial and marketing strategies, and operational processes. As a SAIPA registered accountant, I specialize in managing the financial aspects of a business. Unfortunately, I have encountered many entrepreneurs who sought my assistance in a last-ditch effort to save their struggling businesses. Through these experiences, I gained first-hand knowledge of the unique challenges that business owners face, which cannot be found in a textbook. The weight of responsibility for one's employees, doubts about decision-making abilities, and feelings of isolation can be overwhelming. Personally, I also struggled to find someone to provide guidance and hold me accountable for the targets I set for myself and my team. The constant pressures of meeting deadlines and managing personnel issues dominated my life. The impact of my busy work life on my children became apparent to me when my little girl asked, "Mom, if you have time, can you please buy me an eraser for school?" It was a moment of realization for me. ▶️ WHAT TO DO NOW Contact me in one of the following ways if you would like to visit a TAB Sample Board: Call or WhatsApp: +27 82 902 6145 Send an email to: rolivier@thealternativeboard.za.com Or book an appointment with Calendly at: https://calendly.com/ratiobus/meeting
