More InfoWe first engaged Harry in 2008 to help improve our business systems, processes and my confidence as a business owner. Harry's International business experience was just what I needed to confirm that we were heading in the correct direction. Harry is quietly spoken, punctual and guides with authority and confidence. If he doesn't have the answer, he will call on his vast network to find it. I would recommend anyone that is looking for Professional business guidance, to contact Harry and arrange an initial meeting and get to know him. Harry always said "for every dollar you spend on my services, my goal is to return you three". He has returned the three many times over.
I would like to thank you and your company for the professional advisory service provided to Shade to Order P/L over the past few years. Your marketing strategy is second to none and our business has grown exponentially after putting your recommendations and systems in place. I thought I knew just about all there was to know about running a successful business, after all I have been in business and employed people for more than 30 years. I soon discovered when an astute business professional reviews your business they find things that may need just a bit of tweaking to achieve different results, great results, excellent results. I like the fact that Harry Goldstein has been at the coalface in large and small business, he speaks from hard experience unlike many other business coaches that base their ideas on long accepted theory or accounting. Harry is professional, knowledgeable, quietly spoken and prompt. He knows about business because he's been there, he's one of us.

Together we have formed a trusting professional relationship where Harry is exposed to all our business activities on a monthly basis. The vast experience, network and skills Harry brings to our business is used to constructively validate or challenge any of our business decisions from an objective perspective, to allow Archer to be sustainable, diversify and grow. To have a resource like Harry involved in our business on a regular and special project basis has helped us transform into a professional business that has been tested on critical challenges in the past and developed strong current business strategies as well, allowing Archer to succeed.
