We hired Ascent Consulting to evaluate our internal business operations and staff and make recommendations to increase the productivity at Sudlow Concrete. They helped to increase operational efficiency, created standardized processes to reduce errors, increased accuracy in our cost reporting, and improved customer satisfaction. They also performed a complete financial review of our operations and assembled a solid plan to reduce operating costs and increase profitability. The team at Ascent Consulting is experienced, knowledgeable, and pleasant to work with. They communicate efficiently and effectively and offer solutions that are tailored to your organization’s needs. I would highly recommend them to any business owner looking for ways to improve their company’s performance and profitability.

Ascent Consulting has created an entirely new market sector for us, which has led to new opportunities and sales. This new division is creating revenue that did not previously exist for J.R. Electrical. Ascent is an exceptionally creative and accommodating partner, and it is a pleasure to work with them.

If anyone feels stuck in their business and doesn’t know how to move forward, Ascent’s program will help you get there, if you’re willing to do the work and take the coaching. It worked for me.

BJ Thomas, President – E-TEC Commercial Electrical Contractor

The team from Ascent Consulting have provided assistance and guidance in all facets of our organization. From helping us select an ERP software, to vetting candidates for office and field positions, along with the executive coaching and training they provide, Ascent Consulting understands our needs and have helped us quickly and successfully grow as a company. Their years of contracting experience serves as an invaluable resource for our company whenever we seek answers to new challenges. I truly feel that Ascent Consulting always has our best interests at heart and has been instrumental to Metro Green’s expansion and success.

Cole Vickers, President – Metro Green Construction

I have hired Ascent Consulting to help me with my new LLC start-up. The team has been very helpful and insightful, knowing just how to explain things and what topics to discuss. I didn’t yet know what I didn’t know when I first met with them, and they have helped me to develop a game plan to get me where I want to be. They have gone out of their way to meet me when needed and developed several items just for my company. We did so well during our initial 3 month period that we are taking a short hiatus to allow my company to catch-up and gain the experiences to move on again!

Traci Imhoff, Consultant/Designer – Tracker Fire

From analyzing each step of our administrative and field processes to facilitating better communication between partners, Ascent Consulting has been a wealth of information since day one. They understand exactly what we do and the unique set of challenges we face as a company. With the ability to effectively communicate with and relate to every level of personnel from the guys in the field to C-level management, it is easy to follow their advice and quickly see the results. We are grateful for all Ascent has taught us and continues to teach us. I would recommend Ascent Consulting without hesitation.
