BRYAN HOWE

Bryan Howe is the founder and CEO of MasterPlans, the nation’s largest business planning firm. With over $6MM in revenue and over 3000 clients in 2008, MasterPlans ranked #111 on the Inc. 500's fastest growing companies in the United States.

Howe conceived MasterPlans years ago when a friend approached him to help her write a business plan for her new business. When the job was done and she opened her coffee shop, she said to him, "How much do I owe you?" The light bulb went on, and the paperwork was filed.

Howe says, “You learn by doing. We've grown MasterPlans by over 2000% in 3 years. You don't get that kind of education from a textbook."

Howe has been a professional business planner for eight years and was the first consultant to receive Alight Planning's Certified Consultant status in the country. MasterPlans now sells more Alight Planning models than all other independent consultants combined, worldwide.

Past clients of note include Al Pacino, Carolyn Kepcher, Silva Gas, Nau and numerous others.
