Master your money. Flow your systems. Grow with clarity

Strategic financial partnership for solopreneurs ready to scale with rhythm and spacious support.

About

Hi, I’m John, founder of Cents & Systems, a trusted growth partner and financial clarity hub where calm meets cash flow.

After a decade managing finances for mission-driven organizations, I started to notice a pattern: rigid systems were quietly draining energy, clarity, and profit.

When I stepped away for medical leave, I finally had space to listen. The pause showed me peace was possible, and all around me. I found nourishment in daily walks, and slowly, I began appreciating myself beyond what I could produce. I wasn’t built for bureaucracy - I was built for presence, precision, and quiet transformation.

Today, I support solopreneurs—especially coaches, consultants, and creative studios—in turning their financial friction into flow.

We blend CFO expertise, automation strategy, and Human Design insight to create compounding clarity - freeing your time, your energy, and your peace of mind.

I built Cents & Systems for solopreneurs like me - those who crave clarity, not complexity, and who want growth that feels like alignment.

As a solopreneur, I know the cost of carrying it all. This practice is my answer: a trusted partnership that lifts the weight without adding noise.

Some months, you sprint. Others, you pause. Your finances should breathe with you.
At any time, Cents & Systems only partners with up to 25 founders to ensure depth, not volume. This includes 1–2 sliding scale spots per quarter for visionary builders with strong alignment.

When I’m not refining and automating systems and processes or enhancing my digital mirror, I take walks, practice Wing Chun, or teach my kids how to think about money with creativity and trust.

My promise: Systems that serve the human. Numbers that tell the truth. Clarity that compounds.
