Scott Rouse, Small Business Consultant

Scott Rouse

Strategic Advisor. Problem Solver. Trusted Partner.

I’m Scott Rouse, founder of Scotch Creek Consulting, and I help entrepreneurs and small business owners build smarter businesses.

With over two decades of experience in leadership, operations, customer success, and sales at the VP and C-level, I’ve led teams, scaled companies, solved complex operational challenges, and built strategies that deliver results. Now, I bring that experience to business owners who want practical, actionable guidance—not fluff.

I don’t just give advice. I help you think clearly, act decisively, and grow strategically.


My Approach

I work directly with founders, executives, and business owners to uncover what’s working, fix what isn’t, and build systems that scale. I believe in:

  • Clarity: No jargon. No buzzwords. Just real talk about what matters.
  • Focus: Time and energy are your most valuable resources—I help you use both wisely.
  • Execution: A plan is worthless unless it leads to action. I help you get things done.

I operate as a solo advisor, but I also partner with a curated network of specialists—marketers, designers, financial experts, and others—when a broader team is needed.


Who I Work With

I work with entrepreneurs, solo founders, and small business teams across a wide range of industries. Whether you’re building from scratch, trying to stabilize operations, or preparing for growth, I can help you move forward with confidence.

My clients value experience, direct communication, and results—not theory.


Why ‘Scotch Creek’?

The name comes from a wild, beautiful place where I’ve spent time hiking, fishing, and reflecting. It represents clarity, flow, and natural strategy—all things I bring to my work.
