Welcome to Our Newest PBC Members!

Jason Henderberg, who also resides in Penfield with his wife, Karen, owns Henderberg Business Solutions. He has been helping small businesses to grow efficiently for over 30 years in numerous leadership roles. With a very wide range of real-world business knowledge gained primarily in the manufacturing and construction industries, he loves to continuously learn, share, and apply the latest in business methods. His clients have typically less than 50 employees and come to him from every sector of business for operational advice.

As a consultant, Jason (aka Mr. Systems) specializes in alleviating business owner stress by building a playbook that generates a systems-focused culture and clearly defines best practices. His established “done for you” programs take only 3-4 months to complete and don’t require a lot of time from management. He evaluates your most important customer type with you and then extracts and documents the way that key employees support that work.

When not at work, Jason loves to be out cycling and hiking around Penfield and Webster. Cool fact: he grows bonsai trees as a hobby, to exhibit at shows. You also might see him out at Rothfuss Park walking his dog, Elsa! Learn more about Henderberg Business Solutions here.
