Community Highlights: Meet Paul Maskill of Blue Collar Business Advisors

Today we’d like to introduce you to Paul Maskill

Hi Paul, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
After a short stint in the corporate finance world (2007-2011), I watched way too many people lose their “safe” jobs that they were committed to for 10, 15, 20+ years.

Everyone always said that business ownership was risky and getting a job was safe…I disagree.

Working for someone else is way more risky.

I left my last job in the finance industry in 2011 and haven’t looked back.

Since 2011, I have successfully scaled and sold my last four companies.

I love being able to use my financial expertise and ownership experience in the trades to help landscaping, electrical, plumbing and HVAC business owners build a financially healthy business. By being their financial guide to consistent, positive cash flow they are able to focus on their business and achieve their financial, personal, business and wealth building goals.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
“Smooth” is relative. It’s been way smoother than having to work for a big corporation. It’s hard to pinpoint specific struggles but the challenges that come up and need to be solved is what makes it fun.

We’ve been impressed with Blue Collar Business Advisors, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
We offer outsourced CFO services for blue collar businesses. This means providing financial guidance and strategy for electrical, HVAC, plumbing and landscaping companies. The goal is to help the companies get on track financially and keep it that way.

What sets me apart as the founder is that I have actually ran, scaled and sold companies in the trades. I also have a finance background. This allows me to combine two skillsets that are pretty rare to find together.

Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
I enjoy all the people moving here, the diversity it brings and the opportunity it brings. Not a huge fan of 440 being under permanent construction 🙂
