Exits for Owners For business owners planning their exit

You built it.
Now finish strong.

Every marathon has a finish line. Your business should too. Exits for Owners helps you find your walkaway number, build your runway, and prepare to cross the finish line — on your own terms.

Meet Jill

A guide who's crossed her own finish lines.

As a Certified Business Intermediary and partner at Harvest Business Advisors, Jill has spent her career helping business owners understand what their company is really worth — and what it will take to walk away from it well.

She's also a marathon runner. She knows that crossing a finish line isn't about a final sprint — it's about pacing, preparation, and knowing the course long before race day. That's exactly the discipline she brings to exit planning: no owner should have to sprint the last mile because no one shared the course map with them.

When she’s not working with business owners or training for her next race, Jill is happiest at her little house by the bay with her husband and goldendoodle — or painting sets at the local theatre.
