Jon Kaplan is the CEO and Founder of Kaplan Consulting, a specialized firm serving the stone fabrication and manufacturing industry. With a background as a CPA and early career experience at a global consulting firm, Jon brings a rare combination of financial discipline and hands-on operational expertise to every engagement. Before launching Kaplan Consulting in 2016, Jon built and scaled his own granite fabrication business, Stoneworks, to $50 million in revenue across four locations before successfully exiting. That firsthand experience as an owner-operator is the foundation of everything he teaches and implements with clients today. Jon works directly with business owners to build scalable operating systems, structured accountability frameworks, and disciplined financial models. He does not just advise from a distance. He embeds into organizations, works alongside leadership teams, and drives measurable improvement in cash flow, profitability, and team performance. His work increasingly integrates AI-driven tools and data systems to enhance forecasting and operational visibility. Clients describe Jon as a partner who combines strategic clarity with practical execution, someone equally fluent in reading a P&L and walking a shop floor.
