Our Philosophy and Approach to Consulting
ACS believes that when advising and providing solutions to privately-held businesses, the owner and the business are one and the same. This must influence the proper approach to providing effective and appropriate consulting solutions.
Our Consulting Philosophy
Success Stories
Our clients’ success is not only our top priority, it’s our mission. Aligned with our company vision, we take pride in helping business owners achieve their goals.
It creates a stronger community that is ultimately a benefit to all.
Here is what our clients have to say:
I have had the pleasure of working with Albert on a few formal projects over the past decade, with the most recent experience being within the last couple of months. My experience of working with Albert was eye-opening and refreshing to say the least. The depth of his analysis was mind-blowing and beyond anything I had expected. He went above and beyond on the promised scope of work, and he continues to deliver even after the project has been completed. Albert has become one of my most trusted advisors and I highly recommend him and Atlantic Consulting Solutions.
Mitesh P.
Principal at a Law Firm
Thank you, Albert! You gave us such a good start in 2020! We ended the year billing 2.5x over our expected goals, acquired a fractional CEO, reworked our model giving it a fresh, competitive advantage, and a fractional CFO, all poising us for capital raise and scaling. We’re getting out of the hardware business with a stay-on-the-home lock(s), adding those features to a Premium level, reducing our prices somewhat because of the lack of hardware investment and hiring a big time sales gun with the goal of doubling our business again this year (we did 2.5x in 2020).
Lynne D.
Technology Real Estate Engagement Platform Company Founder and CEO
I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with Albert Assad. Not only is Albert very knowledgeable and professional, but it did not take him long to understand my business and identify the immediate steps to be taken. With Albert's guidance and development of a financial model for our company, we have already begun to see the outcomes of strategic planning. Although I've been in business for 25 years, this opportunity with Albert enhanced my understanding of business management.
Robin S.
Medical Logistics Company Founder and CEO
ACS positively impacted us from board members to all those working with them on strategy and goal setting. They were instrumental in getting us to develop and articulate critical elements that drive organizational success.
Wilson T.
Restoration Company CEO
Atlantic Consulting has been a great resource for us as we were reviewing financing options. ACS introduced us to several qualified partners, was insightful in recommendations and proactive in the application process and updates.
Jan H.
Medical Marketing Company CEO
In a city where networking and relationships are paramount to negotiating business. Meeting someone who has tangible transparency and an eye for business strategy is very unique. Having coaches most of my life from athletics to business, I was very clear on my expectations and needs. Assad exceeded all of them, to the extent that we foresee his role as critical to the growth and scale of our security company in 2019.
Jamine M.
Security Firm CEO
I am truly appreciative of the relationship we have forged. ACS is viewed as part of the team. We have grown so much under their guidance and look forward to more growth through their expertise and leadership. They have instilled confidence in us.
Justin P.
Retail Stone Center Owner
Going through the strategy sessions with Albert was equivalent to going through a crash MBA course personalized just for me and my business! He was attentive, and made certain that he understood my business and its needs so that he could provide the right recommendations and guidance. I am eternally grateful.
Blessing A.
Healthcare Services Company CEO
I can’t begin to express the gratitude I have for the time you’ve sacrificed and poured into my company. Partnering with your firm has helped expound the vision for our growth from pen to reality. You are very detailed, goal oriented, client focused, and result driven. To see you hear what my thoughts were to help me articulate them, to finally putting them into action. Every aspect of your wisdom has been beneficial.
