Our Story

We Know What It Means to Work for Every Dollar.

We're Jimi and Melanie Burnett

Our story didn't begin in a boardroom or with a big business plan.

It began with an unlikely friendship.

Jimi was born in Oregon. Melanie was born in Illinois. We met through an online game called Lords of Ultima and became friends for nearly 10 years without ever meeting face-to-face.

Then one day, we called each other and discovered we had something important to say:

"I have something to tell you... I'm in love with you."

That one conversation changed everything.

Jimi had five sons—Jimi Jr., Jonathan, Alex, Aaron, and Chase, the twins. Melanie had Kaitlynn, Leo, and Daniel. Leo and Daniel were already grown, while Kaitlynn was still growing up.

We took a leap that most people probably thought was crazy.

We moved in together before we'd ever met in person.

In 2016, we finally met face-to-face. Our first kiss was on Mother's Day, and on June 20, 2016, we got married.

Since then, our family has grown into something we couldn't have imagined back then.

Jimi Jr. is married with two beautiful children and another on the way. Kaitlynn has three beautiful daughters. Jonathan has a beautiful daughter. Daniel has a handsome son. And, of course, Dahmer and Dexter, our Cairn Terriers, and Ebony, our big, fat loaf of a cat, are part of the family too.

But building a family hasn't always been easy.

We've survived mental health struggles, financial hardship, the possibility of homelessness, cancer, loss, and COVID.

We've learned firsthand that every dollar matters.

We've learned what it means to work hard.

We've learned what it means to worry about the future.

And we've learned that when you work for something, you want to know that you're getting the most out of it.

THAT'S WHAT BROUGHT US HERE.

Today, we're helping businesses take a closer look at one of the biggest everyday expenses many businesses deal with:

credit-card processing.

If you're accepting credit and debit cards, you're paying for that convenience.

The question is:

Do you know exactly what you're paying?

And more importantly:

Are you getting the best possible value for what you're paying?

That's where we come in.

We help business owners understand their current processing costs and explore credit-card processing solutions that may reduce unnecessary expenses, improve transparency, and put more of their hard-earned revenue back where it belongs:

into their business.

We're not here to tell you that we're going to magically transform your life.

We're not here to make promises we can't keep.

We're here to do something much simpler:

Look at the numbers.

Let's see what you're paying now.

Let's understand how your business processes payments.

Let's identify where there may be opportunities to save.

And if we can help, we'll show you how.

If we can't?

We'll tell you that too.

WHY DOES THIS MATTER TO US?

Because we understand what it means to fight for every dollar.

We've built our family through difficult times.

We've watched our children grow into parents.

We've watched our family become generations.

And now we're working toward something we've always wanted:

Building a legacy that lasts.

For us, generational wealth isn't about getting rich overnight.

It's about creating businesses, opportunities, and financial decisions that can continue working for our family long after we're gone.

And we believe business owners deserve the opportunity to do the same.

Every dollar a business doesn't have to spend unnecessarily is a dollar that can potentially go toward payroll, equipment, inventory, marketing, expansion, family, or the future.

That's why we're passionate about what we do.

Not because we're selling a machine.

Not because we're chasing a sale.

Because behind every business is a person who took a risk, worked hard, and decided to build something of their own.

We understand that person.

So if you're a business owner and you're curious about what you're currently paying for credit-card processing, talk to us.

No pressure.

No obligation.

Just a conversation and a look at the numbers.

You might be surprised by what you find.

Jimi & Melanie

Family. Business. Legacy.

Helping business owners make every transaction count.
