THE PEOPLE BEHIND BLUE MOON
We started this business because everyone deserves a trusted advisor
Not just a vendor or a consultant who hands you a report and disappears. A real partner who knows your business, tells you the truth, and is genuinely invested in helping you win.
Meet Laura and Mike
Laura Dolence
I'm Laura Dolence and marketing has been my world for a long time. But what really drives me is helping business owners find their footing and grow with confidence.
I've built and marketed businesses myself. I know what it feels like to be the one wearing every hat, making decisions with imperfect information, and wondering if you're doing the right things.
That experience is exactly why I started Blue Moon. I wanted to be the resource I wish I'd had. When I'm not working, you'll find me deep in a good book, creating something, or enjoying my family.
Laura's areas of focus: Marketing Strategy, Brand Development, Digital Marketing, Website Design & Optimization
Mike Dolence
I'm Mike Dolence and I've spent decades in finance and management. I've worked across a wide range of industries helping leaders make smarter decisions with their money and their teams.
I've learned most business owners don't need more data. They need someone to make sense of the data they already have and tell them what to actually do about it.
That's what I bring to every client relationship: clarity, honesty, and a no-jargon approach to financial leadership. You'll always get a straight answer from me.
When I'm not working, you'll find me training for Triathalons, swimming open water, or spending time with my family.
Mike's areas of focus: Fractional CFO Services, Financial Strategy & Planning, Management Advisory
Why Blue Moon?
Why Clients Choose to Work with Us.
Experience that's actually relevant
Between us, we bring nearly 50 years of hands-on experience across finance, marketing, and management in a wide variety of industries. We're also committed to staying current, because what worked five years ago isn't always what works today.
No two clients are the same, and we don't treat them that way.
We don't believe in cookie-cutter solutions. Before we recommend anything, we take the time to understand your specific situation, your goals, and the unique challenges your business faces.
We tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. Driven
As business owners ourselves, we know the value of a straight answer. You'll never get smoke and mirrors from us, just honest, practical guidance focused on your bottom line.
We meet you where you areen
Based in the Midwest, we work remotely with clients across the country from small-town businesses to companies in Manhattan. Whether you need us for a few hours a month or for a deeper ongoing engagement, we flex to fit your needs.
A Note on How We Work
We start every new relationship with a free 30-minute conversation, no pitch and no pressure.
We want to understand your business and make sure we're genuinely the right fit before either of us commits to anything.
From there, our engagements are flexible by design.
Some clients come to us for a specific project. Others bring us on as an ongoing strategic partner.
We'll figure out together what makes the most sense for where you are right now.
We'd love to get to know your business
Every great working relationship starts with a simple conversation. Tell us where you are, where you want to go, and we'll give you our honest take on how we can help.
