It creates pressure. What Systems Actually Do: ✅ Turn revenue into predictable profit (EBITDA) ✅ Replace chaos with control ✅ Shift ownership off the founder ✅ Install real accountability ✅ Protect margins during growth ✅ Create leadership at every level ✅ Stabilize cash flow ✅ Eliminate constant firefighting ✅ Build a business that can scale — and sell Systems don’t just organize the business.

Why Hightower Growth Partners are different At HighTower Growth Partners, we exist for one reason: To transform hardworking, owner-operated HVAC, plumbing, and electrical companies into elite, acquisition-ready enterprises. We are not consultants. We are not coaches. And we are certainly not theorists. We are operators, builders, and strategic partners who step into the business with one clear objective—to scale EBITDA, install institutional-grade systems, and position companies for premium exits. Most trade businesses don’t fail because of a lack of demand. They stall because of: Broken pricing Weak leadership infrastructure Poor sales systems Inefficient operations And a lack of financial visibility That’s where HighTower comes in. We rebuild companies from the inside out! from the financial foundation to leadership structure, to marketing, sales, operations, and multi-trade expansion. Everything we install is designed with one end in mind: enterprise value. We don’t get paid to give advice. We get paid to create real growth, real profit, and real exits. HighTower Growth Partners was built for owners who: Are done being trapped in daily operations Want real financial control and predictability Want to scale beyond $1M, $3M, $5M, and into true enterprise territory And ultimately want options—not just income We turn service companies into assets. We turn chaos into systems. We turn hustle into enterprise value. And when the time is right, we help our partners walk away with the outcome they deserve. This isn’t consulting. This is strategic ownership through partnership. If you own an HVAC, Plumbing, or Electrical company and feel trapped in daily operations, unpredictable cash flow, and nonstop pressure—you're not alone. Most service business owners work harder every year but gain less control, less margin, and fewer real options. we transform owner-dependent service companies into scalable, profitable, acquisition-ready enterprises.

About Michael Hipshire I’m not a theorist. I’m an operator. My career has been built inside real HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical companies—through turnarounds, rapid scale, leadership restructuring, and multi-trade expansion. I specialize in taking businesses that are stuck, hemorrhaging profit, or capped by owner dependency, and rebuilding them into scalable, profitable, acquisition-ready enterprises. Most recently, as President of Revolution Services, I led full executive operations across finance, sales, marketing, HR, and production while driving company-wide performance, culture, and profitability. Before that, as General Manager of Revolution Home Services, I stepped into a company facing potential bankruptcy after six consecutive months of losses—and within six months helped grow revenue from $250,000 to $1.4M, while rebuilding pricing, KPIs, leadership structure, dispatch systems, payroll models, and operational accountability. Under that leadership: HVAC installation was rebuilt and scaled into multiple full crews A plumbing division was launched from zero to $700,000+ An electrical division was launched and immediately exceeded revenue targets The company reached $3.2M in 2024 revenue with double-digit EBITDA. Exceeding 17% profitability. 2024 projections exceed $4M in total topline revenue with sustained double-digit EBITDA Previously, as Operations Manager at Joe Cool Home Services, I helped scale revenue from $6M to a $12M run rate while managing five install crews, four comfort consultants, payroll, P&L performance, KPI optimization, vendor relationships, and Service Titan operations. Before entering executive trade leadership, I built my foundation in: Sales leadership & regional expansion Financial recovery & collections management Compliance, insurance, and multi-market sales operations That background gives me a unique advantage: I understand both the revenue engine and the financial controls that protect profitability and valuation. What I Do Differently I don’t sell motivation. I don’t sell marketing gimmicks. I install enterprise-grade systems into trade businesses so they can: Scale without chaos Run without owner dependency Produce consistent EBITDA Withstand operational pressure And command premium acquisition multiples My Work Focuses On My work is centered on helping business owners and executives move from reactive management to disciplined execution, predictable profit, and scalable leadership. Everything I do is built around real-world performance—not theory. Specifically, my work focuses on: Building Leadership That Executes Developing leaders who make decisions, enforce standards, hold teams accountable, and operate with confidence and authority. Turning Revenue Into Real Profit (EBITDA) Fixing pricing, labor efficiency, job costing, and financial controls so growth actually translates into cash flow and enterprise value. Eliminating Owner Dependency Installing systems, structure, and leadership so the business can run without the owner being the bottleneck. Strengthening Culture & Accountability Creating performance-driven cultures with zero tolerance for excuses, politics, or low standards. Improving Communication & Decision Flow Training leaders to communicate clearly, confront issues directly, and eliminate confusion at every level of the organization. Scaling Without Chaos Designing operational systems that allow companies to grow without breaking internally. Preparing Businesses for Premium Exits Aligning leadership, systems, financials, and performance with what buyers and private equity groups actually pay for. President - Founder “Most advisors teach strategy. I build infrastructure. Strategy without execution is just theory.” Results I Deliver My work is measured by outcomes—not advice given. Every engagement is built to produce real performance improvements you can see in your financials, your team, and your daily operations. Here are the results my clients consistently experience: Predictable Profit & Stronger EBITDA Businesses move from inconsistent cash flow to reliable monthly profit, with clear margin control and financial visibility. Elimination of Owner Dependency Companies transition from owner-centered decision-making to self-executing leadership teams. Stronger, More Accountable Leadership Managers stop avoiding responsibility and begin owning outcomes, enforcing standards, and executing without being chased. Improved Team Performance & Retention High performers thrive, low performers are corrected or removed, and turnover becomes controlled instead of chaotic. Clear Communication & Faster Decisions Confusion disappears, expectations become precise, and decisions are made with speed and confidence. Operational Stability Without Firefighting Daily execution becomes predictable. Fewer emergencies. Fewer surprises. Less chaos. Scalable Growth Without Internal Breakdown Revenue grows without the common side effects of burnout, disorganization, and cultural erosion. Increased Enterprise & Exit Value Businesses evolve from “income-producing jobs” into sellable, acquisition-ready assets. Reduced Owner Stress & Burnout Owners regain time, control, and clarity, without sacrificing performance.
