About
Atlantic Consulting Solutions (ACS) is a consulting firm that focuses on providing business consulting services to privately-held small and medium-sized businesses primarily in the Metro Atlanta area. We offer the guidance and tools that business owners require to be successful CEOs and scale their businesses. We offer strategy, management, and financial consulting tailored to each business and business owner’s needs.
We have worked with over 110 business owners across 38 different industries, and we have prepared over 170 business plans, helping raise over $145 million in capital/credit. We are known for being trusted advisors and providing truly strategic advice when making important company decisions. We help our clients not only in the development of their vision but also in the implementation of it (execution).
Our holistic approach is what gives us the competitive advantage from others: not only do we have MBAs, strategy, and financial expertise, but we also have the experience as executives in dealing with complex situations that embody everything from marketing and sales to managing people and finance. Most consultants are only experts in one or two things, so as much as they try, they cannot truly provide the depth of strategic approach we can for small businesses.
We have dealt with business model improvements, financial structuring, organizational restructuring, raising capital and obtaining large credit lines/loans. We have also significantly improved company cultures in toxic environments, trained executives/managers to become great leaders, helped companies merge, helped companies acquire others and sell themselves for double the original offer, transitioned COOs, created successful revenue models, and helped negotiate large deals. Finally, we are bilingual consultants that understand the complexities of cultures and approaches.
