Brent Mathieson, Founder and Chief Planner

Brent Mathieson spent 20 years helping Fortune 500 companies grow before starting his own business in the automotive appearance industry, turning a small, family-run detailing shop into one of the largest in the region.

Along the way, he discovered a major gap for small business owners: simple, effective planning tools. Out of necessity, he adapted corporate processes into practical systems that work for small businesses.

That experience inspired Granite Business Planning, helping entrepreneurs create clear, actionable plans that free them to do the work they love, serve clients who value their expertise, and build stronger, more competitive businesses.

At Granite Business Planning, we’re the trusted guide for entrepreneurs who want to build successful businesses around their passion and purpose. We provide guidance through our streamlined process to help you stay focused on building a strong foundation for lasting success.
