Will Phillips has spent his career designing and implementing operational and people systems that drive sustainable growth. His passion lies in bringing the same frameworks that power Fortune 500 companies to Cincinnati’s small businesses—helping them scale efficiently and build lasting value.

He specializes in empowering teams to take ownership of daily operations so founders can confidently step back. As a Certified Exit Planner, Will Phillips helps business owners build the right people and processes to maximize valuation. And as a business broker, he leverages his deep understanding of company culture to discreetly match each business with a buyer who’s not only ready to purchase—but committed to honoring its legacy for the long term.

When he’s not working, Will Phillips can usually be found on the pickleball court, competing around the 4.5 level. He’s also a proud dad to two energetic boys, Nathan and Jamie—always ready to turn any moment into a wrestling match. He and his wife love to travel (though not often enough, he admits), and they still brag about their first big trip with Nathan to Costa Rica when he was just one—especially since they managed to bring him back, too.
