The problem

Every business on Yelp has 4.8 stars.

You've been here before. You need a plumber, a CPA, a contractor. So you open Yelp. Or Google. Or Nextdoor.

Every option looks... fine. 4.8 stars. Glowing reviews. Sponsored placements mixed in with real results. You pick one, cross your fingers, and hope.

Sometimes you get lucky. Sometimes you don't.

The problem isn't finding options. It's that you can't tell the great ones from the decent ones from the ones who paid to be there.

How Bruce works

One question. One recommendation.
Zero guesswork.

No algorithms. No sponsored results. Just people we'd hire ourselves.

1

Tell Bruce what you need

Not a form with 15 fields. Just say it in plain language: "I need someone to refinish my hardwood floors" or "looking for a CPA who gets freelance taxes."

2

Bruce finds your match

Every business in our network passes a rigorous vetting process. We check references, verify licenses, and review real outcomes. If they're not great, they're not in the network.

3

Get personally introduced

Not a cold listing. A warm introduction with context — who they are, why they're right for your situation, and what to expect. Like a rec from a friend who actually knows the person.

What members say

People who let Bruce do the searching.

★★★★★
"Needed a kitchen contractor. Bruce connected me with someone who finished a $28K remodel in 5 weeks, on budget. My coworker used Yelp for the same project and is still fighting with their guy."

★★★★★
"I was spending 6 hours every quarter doing my own taxes. Bruce's CPA recommendation saved me $4,200 in my first year. I'll never open TurboTax again."

★★★★★
"Bruce recommended a financial advisor who actually returned my calls. Sounds basic, but after three ghostings from Yelp picks, basic felt like a miracle."
