Quote

"Our role is to tell clients what they don't necessarily want to hear. Over my career, I have owned and helped to operate a few businesses myself and, in most cases, they went left before they went right. That process of engineering a turnaround was both painful and an unbelievable learning experience. So, I've travelled that road, and the map we've drawn of it is invaluable to our clients."
