We Read Your Books
QuickBooks is the foundation — we start there
Connect QuickBooks Online and we see your cash position, margins, runway, and burn rate in real time. Your financials are our starting point — not our answer.
We Watch Your Market
The context your books can't give you
Named competitor tracking — reviews, ratings, and online positioning. Local economic signals from BLS and Census data. Industry trends. The full picture that turns numbers into intelligence.
We Tell You What To Do
Not "it depends." A specific recommendation.
"Your cash supports a $55K hire starting April, with a 14-week runway buffer. Your margins are 4 points above industry median — you have pricing power you're not using. Here's the scenario analysis."
What's at risk without strategic intelligence?
QuickBooks shows you the score. It can't tell you the next play.
You hired in February because the P&L looked good. But your cash couldn't sustain it through the slow season. StratBear would have told you to wait until April — with the runway math to prove it.
Your competitor's rating dropped to 3.2 stars over three months. You didn't notice until a customer mentioned it. StratBear would have flagged it the week it started.

- Park City Chamber Board of Directors
"At J&J and the NFL, I had teams of analysts and million-dollar decision frameworks. When I started my distillery, I brought those tools with me. But meeting other small business owners across Utah, I realized most were making critical decisions with nothing but gut instinct—and their survival matters to our communities. I built StratBear to give every business owner access to the strategic tools that Fortune 500 companies take for granted."— Rob, Founder
