A Office Equipment Supplier in California

"Mike Anderson is very knowledgeable and a good teacher. Many of the things he helped us with were areas we knew needed our attention, but didn’t have the time to stop and figure out. I’m very committed to making these suggested changes and plan to have Mike back in a month or two to smooth out any rough patches we may run across."

An Oil Patch Service Company in Alberta

"We have been extremely satisfied with the efforts and enthusiasm put forth by Mike as well as the multiple processes and business/management tools he has put in place and more importantly, into action. His knowledge from a business standpoint has been and will prove to be invaluable to the continued profitability of (our company)."

A Contractor in New England

"Mike Anderson has been working diligently with the upper management team at our company. Mike is extremely knowledgeable and has an exceptional way of dealing with many different personalities. He has worked very closely with the Sales Team to impress upon them the importance of using a consistent method of estimating. He was instrumental in restructuring our accounting procedures."

A General Contractor in Colorado

"Mike is very knowledgeable and we are extremely pleased with his performance and the information he supplied. I hope that we effectively implement his teachings to produce the desired result.."

A Concrete Contractor in Alberta

"We are extremely pleased with the management and financial training and consulting that Mike has provided. This training has resulted in a dramatic improvement in our confidence as business owners. We have always been moderately successful but couldn’t pinpoint exactly where our financial strengths and weaknesses were. Now we know specifically where the profit is coming from as well as what area are draining profit from the company. It can be measured, monitored, reported and corrected. We fully expect to increase our sales AND profit in the immediate future"

A Framing Contractor in California

"Mike Anderson has proven to be an invaluable partner in our business operations. Together we have turned a company that was working off of quarter old numbers to one that has up to date numbers at the click of a mouse. We have gone from “I think this is what my job entails” to knowing exactly what is expected of everyone. This knowledge and expertise bestowed upon over the past few weeks will help propel us through these lean years and onto previously unimaginable opportunities. Thank you for your help."

An Office Equipment Supplier in Texas

"Mike Anderson has provided us the tools we were expecting.  We believe that with the tools and information provided we can achieve our goals."

A Truck Body Shop in Alberta

"The knowledge and expertise of Mike Anderson has been invaluable and has exceeded any expectations we had at the start. I would definitely recommend that any small business go through this exercise and that it be viewed as an investment in a prosperous future, rather than an expense."

An Earth Moving Contractor in Washington State

"I would like to clearly state that if Mike Anderson is not the best consultant that you firm has, then I should one day like to meet the one who is. Simply put, Mike has not only stopped the downward spiral, but has breathed new life and hope back into an environment that once long ago teemed with excitement about what could be. The business principles that have been taught by Mike to me and my staff are most likely the same tools that all of your consultants are passing on to your clients. But teaching is more than “x+y=z so let’s understand what x, y and z are”. The enthusiasm that Mike demonstrated to me while teaching these principles, only fuelled my fire to learn more and go deeper into fundamental practices. Mike’s every move and word was seen and heard and he will likely never realize the extent of the knowledge that he has imparted to me. I have learned more in the past 10 weeks than I had in the pervious 10 years. Mike determined the best way to teach so that I would internalize and retain, and I got it."
