Trent and Mark have spent 40+ years combined building, running, and selling companies, including years doing it together.

Trent brings years of hands-on operating experience. Mark brings that same experience alongside his background as a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA).

They know how valuable good advice can be. But they also saw the problem: high-level consulting is out of reach for most companies.

Simple Genius was built to change that.

We bring the value of high-level consulting to the everyday business.

We built Simple Genius for work like ours.
