In this quick episode, you'll learn all about the who, what, when and why of The Blue Collar Prosperity Podcast with your host Paul Maskill.

If you own a blue collar business (i.e. HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, windows, doors, garage doors, garage floors, roofing, cleaning, etc.) this show is for you!

Paul Maskill founded Blue Collar Business Advisors in 2024 after spending the previous 13 years scaling and selling four different service-based businesses in the Raleigh, NC area. His most recent exit was of a residential electrical service company that grew by over 500% in the three years that he owned it.

After a short stint in the corporate finance world (2007 – 2011), Paul set out to combine his financial experience with his passion for business.

During these 13 years, Paul met 1000’s of business owners who were amazing at the service yet struggled with the financials and numbers.

Most business owners just say “I don’t know, my accountant (or bookkeeper) handles that.”

The truth is that in order to be successful, you need three amazing financial professionals – a bookkeeper, a CPA and a CFO. Bookkeepers and CPAs are great at telling you what happened in the past (rearview mirror). The CFO uses that information to help guide you to your future goals (windshield).

When using the numbers to make business decisions, we are able to remove the emotional tie that every business owner has with their business. Instead, we can use the financial data and KPI’s to make educated decisions that will help our clients achieve their personal and professional goals. 

Paul and his team love working alongside blue collar business owners as their advisor, guide and outsourced CFO.
