Built Through Experience

Origin
The business affairs of Penny Hardaway
Practice
Business management and fractional CFO leadership

1 Cent Management was created through the real-world experience of supporting the business affairs and long-term interests of Penny Hardaway.

That work demonstrated the need for a trusted office focused on more than the next contract, endorsement or transaction—an office capable of seeing the complete business picture and helping the client protect, organize and build upon what success has created.

Today, 1 Cent Management brings that experience to a select number of athletes and entertainers.

  • 03Business and opportunity analysis
  • 04Affordability and risk assessment

The client brings the vision. We help establish whether the numbers support it—and what must happen next.

One Coordinated Professional Team

Successful clients often work with multiple professionals: agents, attorneys, accountants, bookkeepers, bankers, investment advisers, insurance professionals, HR consultants and brand representatives.

Each professional may manage an important part of the picture. 1 Cent Management helps connect those parts.

We serve as a central business-management resource, improving communication, identifying gaps and helping keep the right people aligned around the client's priorities.

When specialized or regulated expertise is needed, the client may retain an appropriate independent professional. 1 Cent Management can assist with identifying and coordinating those resources while maintaining clear professional accountability.
