We bring the tools, insight, and strategy to help you grow.

Our Backbone
Accounting and Financial Strategy form the foundation of our work, covering essential functions such as monthly close, budgeting, grant tracking, financial reporting, and cash flow management. For mission‑driven organizations, growth planning means more than numbers...it involves building an expansion strategy, setting pricing models, exploring financing options, conducting comparative analysis, and streamlining operations to ensure sustainable success. We bring clarity to complex financial landscapes, helping organizations make confident decisions.
Marketing, communications, and strategic facilitation focus on strengthening brand identity, clarifying messaging, and developing social media strategies, while engaging stakeholders through diverse channels like podcasts. This work also extends to economic analysis, and growth strategy development, as well as providing control officer support for international visits with foreign policy dimensions.

From independent cafés and mission-driven businesses to nonprofits, academic institutions, and citizen diplomacy groups, Our Team has forged partnerships across the U.S. and Europe, from Denver to Geneva. We specialize in delivering practical, tailored solutions that respect local markets while advancing global ambitions. Whether it’s refining a financial strategy in Atlanta, launching a cultural initiative in Berlin, or scaling a coffee brand in Denver, we apply our expertise in accounting and foreign policy to bring clarity, strategy, and momentum to every engagement; combining the agility of entrepreneurs with the precision of seasoned advisors.
Our Expertise
Led by Shaun Kremin: A behavioral economist, Foreign Service Officer, and strategic advisor. Coltivare is powered by a multidisciplinary team of accountants, analysts, creatives, and facilitators. We’ve worked inside embassies, boardrooms, cafés, and community organizations, helping mission-driven businesses turn vision into action. We don’t just advise businesses, we’ve built them.
Our Team brings firsthand experience in accounting, launching ventures, scaling operations, and navigating the complexities of growth in the context of foreign policy.
We thrive on sharing knowledge, building trust, and delivering practical solutions that drive results. From financial strategy to marketing and operations, we believe clear communication and expert collaboration aren’t just good practice, they’re bottom-line essentials. This creative approach is also reflected in Shaun’s work as a photographer, where perspective and storytelling shape how ideas come to life.
