In the process of a very challenging merger with another organization VERTESS was consistently on target and available to help us as we made some very critical decisions. Their guidance was crucial to us going forward.

We originally sought VERTESS' assistance to help us make some critical decisions for our future. We had been considering many options and we needed a clearer direction as we expanded our nonprofit operations. VERTESS' consultation was very effective in sharpening our strategic focus and developing a clear map for our future growth, including stronger internal alignment. VERTESS' insights were invaluable for our entire senior team and I strongly recommend them for consultation with organizations like ours.

Vertess Advisors provided intermediary assistance to us when we decided to sell our human service training company, Practical Training Solutions. We were extremely pleased with their professional approach and practical guidance throughout the entire process, which they were able to expedite, exceeding our initial expectations. The end result was very positive for us as well as the new owner of PTS. I would enthusiastically recommend VERTESS to anyone seeking a productive transition from their company.

VERTESS is a creative thinker, thorough and reliable, and a force for change. Their breadth of experience in health care management, particularly in the areas of behavioral health, developmental disabilities and systems change, including building consensus, makes them a unique resource who I do not hesitate to recommend to my clients for outside consulting.

VERTESS encouraged the development of our management team, helping us to improve morale, customer service, and bottom-line results at a major transition point for our company. As an owner, I particularly appreciated their collaborative approach to planning and implementation. Based on our results, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other executives and owners seeking qualified assistance.

VERTESS took our passion to a final product. We had the heart, but we struggled to make our ideals feel real. With VERTESS’ coaching, we experienced a significant turnround in service quality and financial results.

In the course of a pivotal change in professional direction, I sought out VERTESS as a consultant to address numerous strategic issues. VERTESS has been a remarkable, trusted advisor, enabling me to effectively move forward with my dreams. I enthusiastically recommend them for anyone who has similar aspirations and who could benefit from encouragement and an innovative approach to their future.

VERTESS acted as a trouble shooter and temporary manager with extreme confidence and vision. They came into an organization that needed to rebuild and redesign for success. VERTESS laid a business foundation that has allowed me, as the new Director, to move swiftly into a trajectory of success. They are very skilled at making difficult decisions without the emotional over lay that can get in the way of positive solutions. VERTESS inspired a sense of confidence and self-reliance from all constituents that were involved in the program. They continued as a coach and consultant to keep us on target and moving forward. I highly recommend them as an executive coach and organizational consultant. They cut through weeds and let a 1000 flowers bloom.

I have known the VERTESS team and worked with them in different capacities over the past 30 years. Most recently, they represented our company in a successful asset sale. They were very professional and respected all of our concerns along the way. Although selling a business is difficult, they made it much easier for all of us. Going forward VERTESS is going to set the standard for healthcare mergers and acquisitions.

With over 25 years in business, I felt I needed some CEO level consulting for my company. After extensive research, I felt that VERTESS' years of C-level management experience, entrepreneurship history and psychological training and expertise could be just what I was looking for. Turns out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made in years. I would enthusiastically recommend VERTESS to any executive that wants to solidify or turn around their company.
