Huntsville · Serving North Alabama Since 2013
Who do you turn to
for business advice?
AIM Peer Advisory Boards is where North Alabama's business owners bring the problems they can't discuss anywhere else. They leave with honest answers, clear direction, and people who hold them to it.
Sound Familiar?
There has to be a better way to run a business.
We serve small business owners with 1–50 employees across Huntsville and North Alabama. We've all been there — and some of us still are.
New challenges
Your business is growing — or stagnating — and you need outside perspective from owners who've actually been there.
Employee issues
Your team isn't functioning the way you know it should. You need help with morale, productivity, hiring, and the hard conversations.
Lack of direction
You're working harder than ever but not sure which way to go. You need clarity on vision, exit strategy, and long-term planning.
How We Work
The AIM Framework.
Three principles that turn a roomful of business owners into actual forward motion in your company.
Accountability
You don't have a boss — but you need one. AIM gives you a room full of peers who know your commitments and will ask about them next month. That social pressure is the engine.
Implementation
Knowing what to do is not the problem. Doing it is. Every month, members bring their real issues to the table, build actual plans, and leave with specific action items — not good intentions.
Measurement
We talk numbers. P&Ls, goals, revenue, the customers who are costing you money, the employees who are holding you back. What gets measured gets moved.
What You'll Get
Your own board of advisors.
01
Monthly Peer Meetings
Four hours, every month, structured from start to finish. One member presents their business in depth and gets direct group feedback. The full group works through an education segment together. Then it's open floor time — every member brings their most pressing issue and gets real answers from people who know their business. Every member. Every month.
02
1:1 Business Coaching
Every month you meet one-on-one with your facilitator — separate from the group — to work through whatever is most urgent right now. Some things need to be processed privately before they're ready for the room. This is where that happens.
03
Peer Feedback
Your group knows your business almost as well as you do. Because of the structured monthly presentations and hot seat format, members build real context about each other over time — which means the feedback you get isn't generic advice, it's specific to your situation, your numbers, and your history.
04
Real Solutions
Sales challenges, marketing questions, family business dynamics, work-life balance, operations problems — AIM members have seen it all. The group helps you get to the actual problem, not just the symptom you walked in with.
05
Accountability
Your facilitator and your peers know exactly what you said you were going to do. Next month, they're going to ask. That structured accountability — the social pressure of having to look people in the eye — is what turns good intentions into follow-through.
06
Resources
Members have access to the AIM educational curriculum — a rotating annual series covering every major element of running a business, from reading financials to managing people to planning an exit. So when a challenge arrives, you're not starting from zero.
From Our Members
You're not as alone as you think.
The AIM Peer Advisory Boards meeting is like my business therapy session — a place to speak freely about work and get other like-minded people's points of view.
AIM provides a support mechanism to business owners who so often believe they are alone — and then learn they are far from it.
I thoroughly enjoy learning from my peers and having a sounding board to bounce my ideas off of.
With the help of AIM members and our facilitator, I was able to achieve my goal of selling my business and retiring.
Why AIM Peer Advisory Boards
Founded by owners. Built for owners.
In 2013, Kellie Andrews and Ravi Kolli were two Huntsville business owners hitting a wall. They'd tried the chamber roundtables and the CEO groups and kept ending up in coffee clubs instead of the kind of honest, accountable room they actually needed. So they built it themselves — a small peer advisory board with a real facilitator, real structure, and real accountability between meetings.
More than a decade later, AIM Peer Advisory Boards brings small business owners across North Alabama together to learn, grow, and run better companies — without the upsells, the pitches, or the surface-level networking.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions.
What is a peer advisory board?
A peer advisory board is a small, structured group of business owners who meet regularly to share challenges, hold each other accountable, and work through the decisions that are hardest to make alone. Unlike a networking group, there's no selling — just honest peers who know your business and push you to keep your commitments.
How is AIM different from Vistage or other national programs?
Vistage and similar national programs typically require $5 million or more in annual revenue and charge $12,000–$15,000 per year. AIM is built specifically for North Alabama small business owners — companies with 1 to 50 employees who need real peer accountability without a national price tag or a revenue minimum that leaves most of us out.
Who is AIM for?
AIM is for established small business owners in the Huntsville and North Alabama area with 1–50 employees who are serious about growing — or fixing — their company. If you're navigating employee issues, lack of direction, a scaling challenge, or a decision you can't discuss with your team, you're exactly who we built this for. AIM is not for startups or businesses still testing their model.
How much does AIM cost?
We share pricing directly during the application process. AIM is priced for small business owners, not Fortune 500 executives. There are no upsells, no hidden fees, and no pitches inside the room.
What happens at a monthly AIM meeting?
Each meeting runs approximately four hours. It opens with a brief check-in, then one member does a 90-minute deep dive covering their financials, goals, personnel, and key issues — with group questions and feedback throughout. After a break, there's a 30-to-45-minute educational segment drawn from a rotating annual curriculum covering the major elements of running a business. The session closes with individual open table time: every member gets 5 to 15 minutes to bring their most pressing issue and receive direct feedback from the group. Every member, every month. What's said in the room stays in the room.
How many people are in a group?
Groups are kept intentionally small — 6 to 10 members — so every person gets meaningful airtime each session. Smaller than most national programs by design. No competitors are placed in the same group.
Do I get one-on-one time with a facilitator too?
Yes. In addition to the monthly group meeting, each member meets one-on-one with an experienced facilitator to work through what matters most right now — separate from the group dynamic.
How do I join?
Membership is by application. Fill out the short form on this page and we'll follow up within a few days. From there: a brief call to see if it's a fit on both sides, a guest visit to an actual meeting, and then a decision. No pressure, no hard sell.
