Your Revenue Data Should Tell One Story.
I rebuild the systems behind your numbers - connecting your payments, accounting, and analytics into one system that actually reconciles.

In Revenue Reconciled Across Payments and Accounting
Companies I’ve Worked With
Company names and logos are used for identification purposes only and do not imply endorsement. Work performed in prior roles or as part of broader teams.
Your business grew. Your systems didn’t.
The data is there - but it’s siloed, inconsistent, and built on systems that weren’t designed to scale.
So you don’t have a clear view of the business.
And decisions get made on instinct instead of numbers.
These problems show up like this:
• Teams working from different definitions of the same metrics
• Finance asking questions your reporting can’t answer
• Payment, POS, or operational data doesn’t reconcile
• Reporting takes days or weeks to assemble
• Leadership debating which numbers are actually correct
These aren’t talent problems. They’re systems problems.
By the time the numbers look wrong, decisions have already been made.
I build the infrastructure so your numbers actually work.
Connected, reconciled systems that produce reliable numbers automatically - documented and built to scale.
Before the ERP. Before the automation. Before AI.
When Systems Work, Numbers Follow.

How I work
I find exactly where your numbers break - and rebuild the system so they don't break the same way again.
Every engagement starts with a diagnostic. Most move into a rebuild. Some become ongoing partnerships. The path depends on what we find.
This is usually a fit for:
Multi-Location & Hospitality Brands
Your sales data lives in one system. Your revenue is tracked in another. When those don’t connect, forecasting becomes guesswork instead of a decision tool.
E-Commerce and D2C Brands
Shopify and your payment processor rarely tell the same story. When they don’t, you’re making channel and spend decisions on incomplete numbers.
Real acquisition cost, true customer value, and what’s actually driving revenue stay hidden until the data connects.
SaaS + Subscription Businesses
Churn is quiet, lifetime value is a guess, and the clients worth keeping look the same as the ones bleeding margin.
You need a system that shows the difference before it costs you.

About Stephen
The Revenue Engineer
I'm driven by the why behind the numbers. Not spreadsheets. Clarity for the people making hard calls under pressure. Every model, every system, every report has to hold up to the team using it on the ground.
I spent 10+ years at companies including Warby Parker, Tacombi, and Kung Fu Tea building the data infrastructure that makes revenue growth possible. Payment reconciliation. Messy pipelines. Reporting nobody trusted.
Unglamorous work. But the results were real.
I founded Steinbacher Business Advisory because I kept seeing small and mid-size businesses struggling with the same messy data problems I solved at the enterprise level, without the internal team to fix them. So I built a practice that does.
