Jason began working with the senior leadership of our non-profit organization on a consulting basis two years ago. Specifically, we were interested in new revenue streams for the organization, such as redeveloping and monetizing our web presence and soliciting additional sponsorships. His efforts on project work and guidance of senior leadership filled a gap in our organization important to the successful re-launch of our online presence. In fact we liked his work so much we invited him to join our board!

Throughout the past year I have had the privilege of receiving valuable mentoring from Jason Savedoff. As someone who was new to management I was nervous that he may feel as though his “work was cut out for him.” However, I was proven wrong the first time we sat down together. He patiently allowed me time to express my concerns, ambitions, hopes, and possible obstacles. Immediately, I felt a rush of relief when he smiled and said “We’re going to be just fine.

Our organization hired Jason Savedoff to provide management coaching and advisory services. Over the course of the engagement, which spanned several months, they helped implement systems and metrics that had a positive impact on both productivity and the bottom line. In fact, our F&B department had its best quarter on record during the engagement. Jason even went so far as to give his personal cell phone number to our department heads, going the extra mile for our organization.

Filament Business Advisors is one of the few, if not the only Richmond-based consultancy who was willing/able to help my business when we needed ad-hoc assistance in restructuring our employee benefits plan. Despite not being benefits experts per se, Filament was able to wrangle all of the necessary parties, get them to the table, and come out with several different packages for me to choose from given our budget. Recognizing that my time was better spent developing new business, I was relieved to have Filament handle this and have been pleased with the results.

Over the past few years I have had the good fortune to work with Jason on several consulting engagements targeted at establishing business growth and stability during a very challenging time for our industry. I have found him to be an open-minded, creative thinker who possesses an innate ability to synthesize problems down to their root causes and establish well thought out solutions and change implementation plans. In every instance, Jason has effectively applied his business acumen, professionalism and experience to guide us along a path to success.

After 5 years of business as a husband and wife team, we approached Jason about helping Piperbear take advantage of the coming real estate market boom in Richmond. With Jason as fractional CFO, Piperbear doubled the size of its rental portfolio, established a locally recognized brand identity, and launched a consulting branch of our business with Piperbear Designs. Through weekly meetings, Jason quickly absorbed the Piperbear business model, identified opportunity for improvement, and helped us map out a business plan. His analytic mindset and outside perspective helped us see our own business in a new way.

When the time came to sell my dental practice, I began looking for references from people I trust. Although several regional and national dental brokerage firms were top of mind, I took the road less traveled and went with Filament Business Advisors, a local dental intermediary practice, and am very glad that I did.
