Founder

Who Is Scotty Palmer?

Scotty Palmer built Palmer’s Strategic Advisors because I kept seeing the same problem: Food & Beverage founders growing their revenue and losing their cash. Sales were up, the brand was gaining traction — and yet every month ended tighter than the last.

Most of them thought they had a revenue problem. Almost none of them did. They had a financial structure problem — and no one in their corner who could see it, name it, and fix it.

That’s what I do. Through the Shelf-to-Savings™ framework, I connect what happens on the shelf — pricing, inventory, production, waste, and labor — to what lands in the bank. Every engagement runs through five layers of hidden margin. Every dollar recovered was already inside the business.

I work exclusively with $1M–$20M Food & Beverage brands — manufacturers, CPG brands, breweries, bottlers, and restaurants who are operationally strong but financially under-structured. Not general businesses. Not startups. F&B, specifically, because that’s where the work lives.

"My work is to make the invisible visible — and then put a dollar amount on it."
— Scotty Palmer, Founder

I also host Behind the SKU — a podcast where I interview F&B founders and operators about the real financial stories behind scaling a product brand. No fluff. Just the numbers, the decisions, and what actually happened.

  • Revenue hides weak operators. Growth without margin discipline is reckless.
  • Bookkeeping is not strategy. Recording what happened is not understanding what it means.
  • Most F&B founders don't have a revenue problem — they have a financial structure problem.
  • Scale is earned through discipline, not momentum.

Our Philosophy

What We Believe That Most Advisors Won't Say

These convictions drive every engagement — and the reason PSA exist

Revenue hides weak operators.

Growth without margin discipline is reckless. A rising top line is the most effective way to delay a reckoning — not avoid one.

01

Bookkeeping is not strategy.

Recording what happened is not the same as understanding what it means. Most F&B founders are getting the former and calling it financial management.

02

Raising capital often masks inefficiency.

And costs you equity you didn't need to give up. The brands that raise the best terms are the ones that don't desperately need the money.

03

Scale is earned through discipline, not momentum.

The brands that last are the ones that know their numbers. Financial clarity is a competitive advantage — not a nice-to-have.
