“Tiffany Bass Bukow was the first business advisor who immediately and incisively saw the potential of our business plan and coached us to think bigger and scale the company at a pace and level that we dared not dream as first time entrepreneurs.

Francois Levannier, Life Coach
“Tiffany assisted us with development of our business model for a national radio show, an effort she previously succeeded in developing on her own. She's a proven leader and an invaluable resource for start-ups because of her extensive experience. Her dedication to assisting women with their finances is inspirational. She is motivating to speak to, gives creative advice, and makes you feel fortunate to know her.”
Dave Saunders, Entrepreneur and Investment Professional
“Tiffany's dynamic and personable style together with her extreme savvy on business development (and related topics) is made all the more effective by her absolute dedication to the goals and values of her client company or organization. It is easy for many consultants to apply a "one size fits all" manifesto gleaned from personal experience, but it takes a particularly astute and sensitive one to understand the specific nuances that make a "pitch" more resonant (as in the case of our social cause film) or a business model more enduring.
I have no hesitation endorsing Tiffany for any organization that is seeking to take their business to the next level, or find it's ideal positioning in an increasingly aggressive and daunting marketplace.”
Larry Schlessinger, Executive Producer
“Over a period of several months Tiffany worked with me and my team as a business coach and advisor to our film fundraising project, I was and remain impressed with her in so many ways. From her knowledge and ease with money matters, to her personal and caring guidance, professionalism and, characteristically, her enthusiasm and positive attitude.”
Jack Gescheidt, Artist, Photographer, Film Maker
“Tiffany provided excellent tips, techniques, and advice that made an immediate positive impact for my first appearance on MSNBC. In a very short period of time, she made a huge difference.”
