Breakfast With Bruce Kaufmann

This morning I had breakfast with Bruce Kaufmann, who is a leading financial consultant for entrepreneurs. Bruce was in the banking industry from 1978 through 1992. During that time, he worked primarily with privatly owned companies and developed an expertise in financing exports with the support of US government guarantees and insurance. He also served as a manager in the areas of Loan Review and Credit Administration.

In 1992 Mr. Kaufmann established his own consulting practice with an emphasis on showing business owners how they could use financial management techniques to increase revenues. This business has evolved over the years, and now Bruce works with his clients as part of the management team to help business owners improve their ability to obtain financing. This is accomplished by helping the client understand the investor's mind set so the business owner can make a more effective presentation when requesting funds, and by showing the client how to improve internal operations to make the company a more appealing investment opportunity. He has worked with clients in a variety of industries.

Bruce has agreed to become a Houston Business Show Expert who will focus on corporate financial management and will be providing regular podcasts on the Houston Business Show website, which will be launched in February 1, 2007. Bruce will be a perfect compliment to other Business Show Advisors Ralph Fain (business brokering, R/Fain Group), Adrienne Leigh (Business Franchise expert with FranNet), Steve Hansen (factoring expert, Summit Financial Resources), Gary Cooper (CPA, CVA with Cooper, Bergman & Company) and Jim Stein of the Bank of Houston. Combined this team provides outstanding information to our large business audience. You will certainly be hearing more about Bruce as you have of other Business Show Advisors.
