Welcome to Ascent Advising.

Business is hard work.  Progress is an uphill effort.  The only option to progress is a downhill slide, and that's not acceptable.

Business is a team sport.   Going it alone is difficult if not impossible.

Whether you're a solo manager in a smaller company, an executive in a larger company and needing someone to come along side you, or a team of managers, Ascent Advising can help.

Ascent Advising can bring you Objectivity, Perspective and Focus:

Objectivity: When we are too close to the trees, sometimes we can't see the forest despite our best efforts. Objectivity often requires distance; it is difficult to take the time to step back to get that distance.

Perspective: Ever try to tell how far away an object is with only one eye? It is difficult, and requires assumptions. It is easy to be wrong. Two eyes, different from each other by only a few centimeters, give us much better perspective. Similarly, two minds give us much better perspective.

Focus: With so many things going on all around us, how can we possibly focus? That's where Ascent comes in. You keep the business going, and we provide focus on the special issues that will move your organization forward.


With decades of experience, working with companies ranging from start-up to over $3 billion in revenues, Ascent offers a wide array of advisory services.  This website provides an overview of those services.  Below is a list of some of services with links to more detailed information.  But every company, every circumstance, every individual is unique.  Please allow us to talk with you about your needs and how we might be able to meet those needs.  Send us an email or give us a call so we can begin to explore how we can move upward together.
