About Mike MacHogu

As a serial founder and CFO, I’ve transformed a small electrical contracting business into a $2 M+ operation, launched a non‑profit academy that trains the next generation of tradespeople, and started a financial firm that helps small businesses accelerate cash flow.I co‑founded Elite Electric Company LLC, serving commercial, industrial and residential clients. Recognizing the shortage of skilled electricians and the need for diversity in the trades, I established Elite Apprentice Academy, a non‑profit dedicated to workforce development and apprenticeship training. Building on my finance and operations background, I founded TMCOSU Investment LLC, a firm specializing in wealth management, corporate structuring and accounts‑receivable acceleration services. TMCOSU Investment helps small businesses unlock cash flow by purchasing invoices ahead of payment terms for a modest fee, improving liquidity and operational stability.My mission is to drive business transformation, sustainable growth and community impact through both operational excellence and inclusive economic empowerment.Proof points– Grew Elite Electric Company to $2 M+ in annual revenue and expanded service offerings.– Secured strategic partnerships with major contractors and developers while maintaining a safety‑first culture.– Designed and launched Elite Apprentice Academy providing training, mentoring and career pathways for apprentices from underrepresented communities.– Built TMCOSU Investment LLC to deliver cash‑flow acceleration services for small businesses, alongside wealth management and corporate structuring solutions.– Managed multi‑million‑dollar budgets, reduced costs through operational efficiency and led teams of more than 20 field and office staff.Call to actionI’m looking to collaborate with investors, philanthropic leaders, construction and finance executives who share my vision of transforming the trades, expanding access to capital for small businesses and scaling workforce development.
