Expert Business Consulting —
No Matter Where You Are
Brian Wygle works with business owners across the entire country — by phone and video. Geography is not a barrier. Results are what matter, and Brian has delivered them for clients coast to coast.
The Business Problems Brian Solves Don't Respect State Lines
Business crises, ownership disputes, failing turnarounds, complex exits — these situations happen everywhere. And the shortage of experienced, hands-on business consultants who can navigate them is not limited to Los Angeles. It is a national problem.
For years, Brian has worked with business owners across the country who found him through referrals, online searches, or his written work — and discovered that the distance between them and his Burbank office was completely irrelevant. The conversations were just as honest. The insights were just as sharp. And the outcomes were just as real.
If you need help, Brian can help you — regardless of where your business is located.
Remote Business Consulting — How Brian Does It
Phone and video consulting is not a compromise. For most business consulting engagements, it is equally — or more — effective than in-person meetings. Here's how Brian structures remote work with clients nationwide.
Free Discovery Call
The first call is always free. You tell Brian what is happening. He listens, asks the right questions, and gives you an honest assessment of the situation and what kind of help might make the most difference.
Deep Dive by Phone or Video
Deeper discovery sessions are conducted by phone or video. Brian reviews documents, financials, and materials you share securely. The format is efficient and thorough — no travel time wasted for either party.
Structured Ongoing Engagement
Ongoing work is structured around regular scheduled calls, supplemented by email and as-needed urgent conversations. Brian is reachable between sessions when situations develop — because business problems don't follow a calendar.
In-Person When It Counts
For situations where physical presence genuinely adds value — interim management, high-stakes negotiations, or critical team meetings — Brian is willing to travel. This is discussed and planned on a case-by-case basis.
Distance Doesn't Diminish the Quality of Help
The most valuable thing Brian brings to any engagement is not physical presence — it is clarity of thinking, depth of experience, and the ability to ask the questions that cut through complexity. All of that travels perfectly well by phone and video.
The business owners who have worked with Brian remotely — from Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois, and beyond — consistently report that the experience is indistinguishable from working with an advisor in person. What matters is the conversation, not the commute.
Analyzing financial statements, diagnosing organizational problems, developing exit strategies, and coaching business owners are all conversations that happen just as effectively by video as across a desk.
When a crisis hits your business in Chicago or Atlanta, you don't have time to wait for a consultant to book flights. Remote access means Brian can be in conversation with you within the hour.
Remote consultations happen in controlled environments — no risk of being seen walking into an office, no overheard conversations. Many of Brian's most sensitive engagements are handled entirely remotely for this reason.
Brian has been conducting remote consulting for decades — long before it became the norm. The tools are better now, but the approach has always been the same: focused, honest, effective conversation.
