You should only be here if you have on of my cards. This is a personal service that is only offered to business owners that I have personally met or who were referred to me by one of my close friends. To recommend me, they must have given you one of my cards. Without it, I’m afraid I will not respond and am not interested in providing assistance. If you have a card, read the post to see what this is all about and reach out as needed.
My name is John Stucky and I am a business owner, entrepreneur and CPA. I have owned and operated several businesses in my career and currently own three. I have nearly 35 years of experience. I now consider myself retired – or at least semi-retired. At this point in my career, I prefer to give back to others as opposed to building more of my own. On many occasions I have observed other small businesses struggling in one of the areas in which I have extensive experience. As a result, I decided to offer my expertise to other business owners in order to help them navigate these areas:
- Finance, Accounting & Taxes
I have been a CPA for over 30 years and have practiced at KPMG and a large regional firm. Although I do not practice public accounting any longer (and haven’t for quite some time), I am well versed in this area and can assist with nearly any financial matter. accounting, taxes, financial reporting, banking, loans, funding, etc. - Technology
After my public accounting stint, I created my own consulting company as well as a separate software company. I have dealt extensively with business software and nearly all aspects of technology. Examples of my experience include ERP systems, installations, upgrades, customization, software selection as well as development, infrastructure and cloud hosting, licensing, automation, barcodes, scanners, PLCs, EDI, integrations and much more. - Real Estate
My wife and I started a real estate company that has grown substantially over the years and we still own and operate it to this day. Our company has a mix of short term rental properties as well as some commercial buildings. I have dealt with everything from commercial property, leasing, financing, residential rental and even land development.

So what I am offering you? Assistance. At no charge. Plain and simple. At this point in my career, as I have looked for opportunities to give back, I have found great satisfaction in helping other business owners and entrepreneurs navigate some of these areas and pass along some of the experience I have gained over my career.
My assistance usually involves helping to assess a situation and create a game plan to address it. Depending on the situation, we may even dig in and deal with it on our own (that means you and me). Many times, this process will include evaluation of current staff and vendor relationships as well as any new potential team members and relationships to help you get going in the right direction. It may also include dealing with the appropriate authorities or tax jurisdictions to help get things on the right track.
Have you ever seen TV shows like Kitchen Nightmares or Bar Rescue? Shows where experts like Gordon Ramsey and Jon Taffer go in and help a struggling restaurant or bar get straightened out in a few days? That’s what I try to do for small business owners. However, I have no show, no film crew and no desire to be public about it. Everything I do is strictly confidential and not shared with anyone. I have no agenda to grow my reputation or make a public spectacle. I am simply offering to help.
You won’t get other opportunities like this. They don’t exist. But I have come across your organization somehow (usually in-person or from someone I know very well – who knows you). That’s how you got the card. And, I only help those who have the cards. Nobody else.
- No obligation.
- No fees of any kind.
- No referral arrangements, related companies, commissions or anything like that.
Just help. Help for situations that are usually tough (back taxes, payroll issues, banking problems, evaluating your IT team or provider, ransomware or hacking attacks, legal issues, etc.) and where, as a business owner, you may not know where to turn or what to do.
If you have the card and don’t have a problem, then no big deal. Congrats and well done! I probably visited your place and liked it so much, I just wanted to meet you! Do not hand the card to anyone else – just destroy it. However, if you have something you want to talk about or you need help, feel free to reach out.
Next step? If you want to have a conversation and see if I may be able to help, all you need to do is text or call the number on the card. When I respond, I will ask you for the PIN from the card. No PIN, no help.
That’s it. I will reply to any call or text. Sometimes it takes me a day or two, but I will respond.
WARNING: I only work with companies that provide legal products or services and who are committed to operating in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
