Scale the business.
Not the bottlenecks.
I build custom software tools for small and mid-size businesses that turn hours of manual work into minutes. Shaped around how your team actually works. Deployed in weeks, not months.
A finance and operations leader who builds custom tools.
Not a tech consultant guessing at how you operate.
Your business is growing.
Your operations aren't keeping up.
You've outgrown the manual processes that got you here. Handwritten forms, spreadsheets held together with duct tape, workarounds that were supposed to be temporary. They worked when the business was smaller. Now they're eating hours of your week.
Growth should be exciting. Instead, it means bigger versions of the same headaches. More deliveries to coordinate by hand. More data to re-enter. More questions only you can answer.
It doesn't have to work that way.
Your problem first.
Then we build the fix.
I don't show up with a demo. I show up with questions. I learn how your business actually runs: where time gets lost, where information breaks down, where your team hits friction. Only then do I design a tool around the real problem.
A working session to understand your operations and pinpoint where a custom tool can save measurable time. No pitch. No predetermined solution.
You see a working prototype within days. You give feedback. We adjust until the tool fits how your team actually works.
The finished tool is deployed to your team in weeks. I provide hands-on support through launch and beyond. Not a helpdesk. Me, directly.
Tools built for your workflow.
New hires stop waiting on managers. Experienced staff stop answering the same questions. Every answer cites the source document so people trust it.
No forms. No typing in the truck. Dictate the details, and AI extracts names, addresses, items, dates, and special instructions into a clean, shareable format.
Shift reports written by hand. Log books typed twice. Recurring tasks that grow with the business and never get easier. The kind of work no off-the-shelf tool fits, because every business runs differently.
The build is the start.
Not the finish.
A tool that ships and then drifts isn't worth building. Every engagement includes ongoing support and a regular working rhythm, so the tools keep delivering value and we keep finding the next constraint to take off your plate.
When something breaks or needs an immediate update, you have a direct line. The person on the other end already knows your business.
A regular check-in focused on what's next for your business. Sometimes that's a tweak to a tool we built. Sometimes it's working through an AI question on something you're trying yourself. Sometimes it's a new bottleneck worth tackling together. The agenda is whatever moves you forward.
Your tools keep running. Maintenance, small fixes, and routine updates are part of the relationship, not a separate invoice every time something needs attention.
Businesses that run
on operations.
If you're spending hours on tasks that should take minutes, and growth means more of the same pain, we should talk.
Grant Yoder
I spent my career as a Director of Finance and Accounting in pharmaceutical manufacturing, the right-hand to site General Managers running 300+ person operations. My job was solving the business and operational challenges that kept those organizations running smoothly.
I don't come from a technology background. I come from the operational trenches. That's why I build tools that solve the actual problem, not something close to it. Every tool is built to your exact specifications, with you involved in shaping how it works.
When you work with me, you get a partner who understands operations and how to build software fast. When you work with Ignite the Fire Custom Tools, you get a company built around long-term relationships, not a vendor that ships a tool and disappears.
Let's talk about what's eating your time.
Five minutes to share what's slowing you down. If there's a fit, we move quickly. If there isn't, you'll know that too.
