About
We Don't Just Consult. We Build.
We work with small to mid-sized firms and service-based businesses to solve operational chaos, align leadership, and implement automation that scales.
Most consulting firms stop at recommendations. At B3, we partner with you to diagnose, design, and deliver the systems, strategy, and solutions your business needs to grow, without the burnout.
Our Team
Our extended team includes UI/UX developers, technical project managers, and AI specialists. We don’t just hand you a plan. We build it with you.
Led by Hope Wagner and Andrea Balanta, B3 combines decades of real-world experience in operations, finance, mergers and acquisitions, intake systems, marketing, and agile organizational leadership.

How We Are Different
Strategy plus execution. Vision plus systems. That’s what sets us apart.
While most firms advise from the sidelines, we embed ourselves in your business. We don’t hand off binders—we deliver dashboards, automations, and performance systems that actually work.
This is where consulting meets implementation.
Build.
Lay the foundation for sustainable growth.
Design operational systems, automations, and workflows that scale with your business. Implement tools and infrastructure that eliminate manual work and remove decision bottlenecks.
Balance.
Align your people, platforms, and priorities.
Restructure roles, responsibilities, and reporting lines to create clarity and accountability. Coach leadership to delegate effectively and operate with greater focus.
Breakthrough.
Unlock momentum and measurable results.
Transition from chaos to clarity with KPIs, dashboards, and execution plans. Create a business that grows with or without your constant input.
Let's build together.
If you’re ready to stop duct-taping solutions and start scaling with confidence, we’re ready to build it with you.
