BBS has helped me to look at my business from the outside, in. Jan has helped me to prioritize daily tasks and develop ways to help me run my business more efficiently. Ultimately, these changes will allow me to spend more time doing the things that will most increase my profitably and help grow Abrakadoodle. I'm looking forward to working with Jan and BBS in the future as my business evolves.
The inventory and purchasing spreadsheet is working very well… It's made re-ordering supplies easier for sure and tracking what we need.

Jan Skibinski has been a great help in constructing spreadsheets for me to bid more confidently and profitably. I appreciate her advice and encouragement as well.

For years I have been running a business never really understanding how to read my financials. It has always my Achilles heel, and I've always felt it was holding me back to realize my full potential at running and managing a business.
In January of 2010 I began working with BBS. With Jan Skibinski's help I put together my first budget for the year. By meeting with her every month it helped me to understand my company's financial statements. Jan has taught me a great deal about planning budgets, reading financial statements, understanding formulas to determine profit margins and doing cash flow projections.
With Jan's help in my first year of working with her, I doubled my sales and increased my profit margins. With BBS'S help we did this in a down economy. I strongly recommend any business owner or manager to utilize Jan and her company Building Business Success. I will continue to work with Jan and use her guidance as our business continues to expand and grow.

Jan worked for me on a major project at Shamrock Foods. This project separated $150,000,000 in business from our main facility to a new facility in Denver. She has excellent management skills - detail oriented, through, manages and drives the completion of tasks. In addtion, she had great working relationships with the project team. Lastly, Jan did a great job in keeping me up-to-speed on her area of this intense (fast-paced) project. The project turned out to be a great success for Shamrock Foods.

"The MRP database Jan developed for our new product was a God-send. We would have been lost without it. We were lucky to have her work for us."
Tom Mullen, Director of Operations, WalkMed Infusion, LLC
Jan and I worked closely together on accounting/finance as well business process improvement projects. Jan is analytical and understands the big picture, she applies principles with urgency and compassion. She has the drive to report accurate information with logical interpretation. She led multiple projects and generated result on every opportunity. I would use Jan as a resource for any project needing an independent perspective. She possesses a can do attitude and it shows in her work product.
JJ Holmes, Sr. Accounting Manager, Jeppesen
Jan and I worked closely together on market research and business process improvement projects. I always found Jan to be detailed and analytical... [Jan] was a wizard at using Excel to help distill the vast data to the critical few relevant points. Jan would be a good resource for anyone needing project help from an independent perspective.
