Our Story
“We’ve learned that real growth comes from knowing when to pivot and giving yourself permission to do exactly that. Every step has been about learning, adapting, and turning challenges into opportunities while transforming ideas into tangible progress. Along the way, we discovered how partnering with the right advisors/service providers can not only strengthen your business but also bring clarity, confidence, and balance to your personal and professional life.”
Because business is more than balance sheets. It’s about building futures.
When you start a business, it’s never just about revenue. It’s about the life you want to create for yourself, your family, and everyone who depends on you. The numbers, the strategy, and all the accounting details can weigh you down and take the joy out of what you built. We are here to carry that accounting burden, so you can focus on the reason you started, grow with confidence, and shape the future you imagined.
Our Vision
People are often defined by their job titles, but we believe work is more than a title — it’s an expression of strategy, insight, and impact. One of the first questions in any conversation is almost always: What do you do? Titles rarely capture the full picture. Many entrepreneurs and small business owners operate across multiple roles, wearing every hat, and navigating challenges that extend far beyond the numbers.
At KO Strategic Advisors, we aim to provide CFO-level expertise tailored to small and growing service-based businesses. Our vision is to help turn complex financial data into clear strategies, optimize resources, and empower business owners to make informed decisions that drive growth. Our vision is to ensure that every client has access to executive-level insight, without the corporate price tag, so they can focus on building their business with confidence and clarity.
Our Mission
Providing executive-level accounting guidance that frees entrepreneurs to grow their business with confidence
Our mission is to give entrepreneurs and growing service-based businesses the freedom to focus on what they do best. We take care of the accounting, financial planning, and business strategy so owners can concentrate on running operations, improving products, and keeping their customers happy.
We know how overwhelming these responsibilities can be. Many business owners feel stuck or frustrated when the financial side of their business takes too much energy, sometimes even considering selling at a loss. Our goal is to prevent that. We help put the right systems and structures in place, giving business owners clarity, confidence, and the space to fully dedicate themselves to why they started or acquired the business in the first place.
Our approach combines executive-level financial insight with practical guidance tailored to each business. We build partnerships based on trust, transparency, and accountability. By easing the burden of accounting and strategy, our mission is to empower owners to stay motivated, make informed decisions, and grow their businesses with focus and purpose.
Our Values
Integrity and Transparency
Our work is built on honesty and trust. Every number, report, and recommendation is grounded in accuracy and openness. We believe that transparency creates trust and confidence. And confidence and trust, in turn, build lasting partnerships. Our faith-driven approach guides our actions and ensures that every decision aligns with our core principles.
Continuous Improvement
We believe growth comes from the willingness to adapt. In business, that means knowing when to pivot, refine, and realign. We’re constantly learning and evolving so that the strategies we share with our clients stay relevant, practical, and effective. Continuous improvement is about staying grounded, focused, and ready for what’s next.
Reliability, Resilience, and Collaboration
Business is full of challenges, and we face them alongside our clients. We show up consistently, stay steady under pressure, and work closely with you to navigate obstacles. Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. Your goals become our goals, and together we build a business that is strong, adaptable, and ready for growth.
Excellence in Execution
Precision matters in every decision and every number. We focus on delivering work that is accurate, clear, and actionable so your business can thrive. Excellence guides everything we do and ensures that every plan, report, and recommendation creates real progress for your business.

Anton has spent over 15 years in gobal finance, leading teams, managing complex portfolios, and advising at the highest corporate levels. He knows the power of precision, strategy, and clear insight.
Even with all the corporate success, Anton wanted more. His goal has always been twofold: continue to excel at the executive level in global finance while giving back to smaller businesses with actionable insights and bespoke financial solutions, without the corporate price tag.
The seed for KO Strategic Advisors was planted years ago. In 2024, during a transitional period between roles and companies, Anton took the time to reflect and refine his vision. By 2025, one year into business, the idea was fully solidified: delivering CFO-level expertise tailored to service-based businesses and entrepreneurs.
