Strategy
Strategy is an action word. A good strategy helps focus attention and prioritize action, and much of it must adjust as the market, customers and environment shift.
About Cole Advisors
A turnaround and management consulting firm
We help small and medium-sized companies find solutions when business problems feel elusive, working as a fractional business partner to owners and leadership teams.
Who we are
A fractional business partner for small and medium-sized companies.
Cole Advisors is a turnaround and management consulting firm focused on solving the difficult challenges faced by small and medium-sized companies. Our office is on Laclede’s Landing in downtown St. Louis, Missouri, and our clients are located throughout the country.
Many business owners and executives consider us their “fractional business partner.” We function as a one-year partner to the ownership team: we help identify the right strategies and solutions, and then we help execute on that plan alongside your staff.
The challenges small and medium business leaders face are not easy ones. We thrive on solving problems, figuring out what seems elusive and, at times, overwhelming. We bring a disciplined, yet pragmatic and responsive, approach to achieving required results.
Solutions
Good solutions start with a clear view of the current state. They are not bumper stickers; they are plans and actions that drive financial and operational improvement.
Results
We start with the desired results clearly in mind. Strategy drives Solutions that deliver Results to an organization’s people, customers, business and community.
How we work
Listen. Learn. Advise. Execute.
- ListenWe don’t show up with prefabricated assumptions. Every engagement starts with understanding your business and the people in it.
- LearnGood solutions start with a clear view of the current state: the numbers, the operations, and the relationships with your bank, investors and customers.
- AdviseWe help you connect the dots with an integrated and holistic plan, translating objectives into strategies and action plans.
- ExecuteOur clients need more than “bookend consulting.” We work with your staff to carry out the plan and drive results.
Our clients
Discretion is part of the work.
Some firms are big on dropping names and publishing lists and logos of the companies they’ve worked with. We do it differently. Our clients come to us for solutions to problems, and we don’t think it’s right to shout to the world a list of clients who have struggled.
We work with business owners, CEOs, and leadership teams, and with the bankers, attorneys and investors who work with them. Clients count on our discretion and confidence.
