I have always had that entrepreneurial “itch”.  That desire that motivates so many individuals to take the leap and start something new.  Something that they own.  I met many people like this throughout my career.  My career had me working, not with large multi-national corporations, but with small mostly private or family owned companies.  Almost from the very beginning of my career, I was surrounded by first and second generation business owners.  I realized that these were salt of the earth people, people that were very good at what they did and worked very hard.  But I also realized that, while they may be exceptional plumbers, electricians, roofers, framers, and concrete workers, they were not all professional business people.  They usually found themselves very busy, constantly booked with jobs, but not having as much money at the end of the year as they felt they should for all of their hard work and happy customers.

 That very phenomenon is why I founded Kilcoyne Consulting Group.  These businesses are not large enough to support a office full of trained of accountants, operations managers, financial analysts, etc.  Nor can they afford the high cost of Big Four consultants.  But, none the less, they find themselves in need of a set of trained, experienced outside eyes to come into the place of their life’s work and help them keep more of their hard earned dollars.

I am Josh Kilcoyne of Kilcoyne Consulting Group, and this is my passion.  I was raised in an environment of small business, and I have over ten years of experience in business operations and P&L management, working with entrepreneurs across the construction spectrum.  My passion is to use my operations, accounting, finance, warehousing, production, and P&L experience to help the small business owner run more efficiently.  I understand the answer to every problem is not “hire more people” or “get more sales”.  I want to use my skills and experience to fill the knowledge and experience gap in your organization, on a one time or recurring basis, to help you, the small business, avoid unnecessary overhead and eroding profit margins.

Josh Kilcoyne has spent more than thirteen years in the construction field in a variety of roles encompassing purchasing, production, warehouse, accounting/finance, design, sales, and P&L management.  He graduated from Berea College with two Bachelors degrees, one in Business Administration and one in Mathematics.  He has his Masters degree from IUPUI Kelley School of Business, where he studied Finance and Accounting.  He has worked with both large and small companies, specializing in quick turnarounds of struggling markets.  He lives with his wife and four children in Charlotte, NC.
