Ciao! I’m Mark Felice, and as you can see, I’m not your average banker. For over 20 years, I’ve been in banking, developing my skills and expertise across multiple areas of the bank, from retail branches and commercial banking to treasury management and industry sectors in Food and Beverage, Manufacturing, Automotive, Government and Healthcare.During this time, I also became a business owner, first by opening my own restaurant and serving as owner and chef, and second, by creating my own production company, producing a European travel and food show on YouTube and Amazon Prime Video in which I also served as series host.Cumulatively, my career in banking and in business has allowed me to “sit on both sides of the desk”, to gain a unique perspective on the day-to-day challenges and objectives of running a business, from maximizing profitability and reducing expenses, to improving liquidity and driving efficiencies across the organization.Understanding a business well enough to assess these opportunities and deliver commercial insight is what I do...what it does, is create visibility into operations. Leveraging my background in consulting and business strategy, I take the time to document my clients' current state, which includes assessing year-over-year trends in operational efficiency, leverage, and financial performance. As I document the company's current state, my objective is to answer any of the following questions:• What mistakes does the business make today?• What should the business be doing differently?• What incorrect assumptions has the business made?• What might the business be underestimating?• What needs might the business not realize it has?In return, my clients receive a Business Insight Report that includes the following proprietary financial tools:• Trend Analysis on key financial performance metrics, visualized in a series of graphs and charts to easily help the business confirm or adjust aspects of its business strategy• Cash Flow Map documenting and visualizing key business processes, bank account structure, services and cash flow
