Get to Know Us

BRIAN FOSTER-CEO
Brian Foster, is focused on providing innovative strategic opportunities for clients as well as creating ways for clients to achieve an independent and successful creative environment. Striving for exposure to what the world has to offer, Brian ventured from Victorville, CA to Atlanta, GA after high school for college. With a Bachelors from Morehouse College (GA) in Business Administration-Marketing and minoring in Economics, Brian is educated and trained on core principles of business and economic platforms. With a Masters from Full Sail University (FL) in Entertainment Business- Sports Management, he is educated and trained on the entertainment industry principles, best practices, and strategies. Through experience in various industries, he’s capable of innovative ways to maximize success for clients.
Brian has been in the Sports & Entertainment industry since 2008. Working for the Sacramento Kings, he gained valuable experience working both with companies and the community regarding different ways to build their business or organization with the Kings’ platform. In 2009, he began his shift from the Sports industry to the Music industry, beginning in artist & business management with D.E.A.N. Ent. Learning how each client is different and strategies have to be custom made to put them in a position to succeed became a skill set that was developed. It became a key to building great relationships throughout the industry.
During that time, Brian ventured into countless opportunities outside of the entertainment industry and shifted focus on developing those opportunities. In 2018, Brian partnered with Elise and joined forces with Kirkland Financial. Networking in various industries made it a natural transition into the finance world. The pandemic extremely hurt the entertainment industry, specifically music. Through nurturing those various relationships, Brian also decided to relocate and start D.E.A.N. Business Group in Las Vegas, NV. The goal was to create the consulting company to focus on business development and to tag team with Elise to provide more full menu services for the finance side as well. It was important to be able to provide opportunities for ventures in finance, wealth preservation, entertainment, and other facets of business.
“Doing Everything Above Normal”

Elise Kirkland-CFO
Elise is driven by her passion to impart to all businesses the key elements to building a very large enterprise. She has seen it with her family’s business empire and has experienced it when she held key positions in companies like the Hilton Hotels.
​
For over thirty years Elise has helped companies grow setting up the most basic financial systems to more complicated areas of finance and corporate structuring. To date she continues to work closely with individuals and companies to ensure that her mission is carried out, while embarking on a new direction toward inspiring companies to “give back” as they grow. She is currently creating charities for businesses believing that for a business to last, it must become an integral part of the community and a driving force for a cause.
​
Her clients come from various industries and are of different sizes. Her commitment is to help a company who has the right mind set for growth and a willingness to apply time-tested financial & business principles. And as the business environment is rapidly changing, competition is becoming more ferocious, one’s ability to adapt, reinvent itself and thrive is of absolute importance.
​
Elise knows that an entrepreneur’s vision is only as good as his/her strategy for execution. “Everyone has a dream, everyone is passionate about something, but a dream can only become reality with the right structure and business systems to carry it out” she always says.
