For Small-Business Operations
MAINSTREET BUSINESS WORKS
You run the business. We make the systems work.
MainStreet helps established small-business owners fix the practical problems that slow them down: outdated information online, missed inquiries and reviews, disconnected tools, and workflows held together by memory.

THE OPERATOR BEHIND THE WORK
About Anthony
Anthony J. Finkel is a Connecticut-based business advisor, entrepreneur, and the founder of MainStreet Business Works.
He spent more than a decade building and operating service businesses, including a seven-figure property-services company serving more than 125 properties across New York City. His work included more than $600,000 in government contracts and a multi-year agreement with the Gateway JFK Business Improvement District. He later sold the company and moved to Connecticut to build his next chapter.
Today, Anthony works with business owners and buyers through HedgeStone Business Advisors. He also leads MainStreet Business Works, helping established small businesses strengthen their online presence, customer follow-up, technology, automation, and everyday workflows.
The Wolf of Connecticut brings those experiences together: business growth, acquisitions, ownership transitions, entrepreneurship, and the practical work of building long-term value.
Anthony approaches every conversation with honesty, careful preparation, and an eye for overlooked opportunity.
