Our Story: The Mission Behind EPOCH Growth Strategies
EPOCH Growth Strategies was born out of a shared vision: to help small businesses, especially veteran- and women-owned companies, become more profitable, efficient, and sellable.
With Nick’s military expertise in operational efficiency and Shauna’s deep financial knowledge as a CPA, they saw too many small business owners struggling with cash flow, inefficient systems, and unclear exit strategies. Instead of just offering advice, they created a hands-on approach to help business owners implement real solutions.
Now, through EPOCH Growth Strategies, they help entrepreneurs streamline operations, improve financial performance, and build businesses that thrive—whether for long-term growth or a future sale.
