Seven Seasons Advisory was created to bridge a gap we believe has existed for far too long. Small businesses and local nonprofits are often expected to navigate the same financial decisions as much larger organizations, but with fewer internal resources, fewer specialized advisors, and far less ongoing financial support.
Many small business owners don't have a CFO helping them evaluate opportunities, coordinate with lenders, improve operations, or think strategically about the future. Instead, those responsibilities often fall to the owner, who is already balancing the countless demands of running the business.
We exist to change that. We become trusted advisors who work alongside our clients, not only providing guidance, but implementing solutions to support long-term success.
Jessica Peterson is the founder of Seven Seasons Advisory, with over 15 years of experience inside financial institutions, most recently serving as a Vice President in Small Business Banking.
Her background is rooted in evaluating businesses under real financial scrutiny, structuring capital, and positioning companies for lending across a range of industries and stages of growth. She worked directly with business owners on lending decisions, financial reviews, and moments that carried meaningful impact on the future of their business.
Her experience includes structuring and evaluating debt across SBA and conventional frameworks, including owner occupied real estate, term financing, and lines of credit, each requiring a detailed assessment of cash flow, risk exposure, and long term financial position. She also supported businesses as they transitioned from small business banking into more complex middle market environments, where expectations around financial structure and performance begin to shift.
Through this work, she developed a consistent ability to assess business performance beyond surface level reporting, understanding how cashflow behavior and overall positioning influence both stability and access to capital.
After experiencing multiple bank acquisitions, she made the decision to work directly alongside business owners, bringing that same level of financial evaluation into real time decision making. Not from behind institutional requirements, but within the business itself.
