Kind Words
What our clients say about working with us
"Just finished our best year ever. Revenue up about 20%, profit up about 60%. Went through an extremely extensive third party audit just a few weeks ago, the highest level of most respected audit company in our industry. I was kicked out during the process (by the employees) as well as my son. I was amazed to find we scored 100%. We are far from perfect, however the auditor spent a lot of time on the floor talking to almost every employee and thought we were special. This would not have happened if we had not contacted the Family Business Institute and had them come in to work with us, and we listened. Thank you Wayne and your organization."
RJ Reed"The Family Business Institute has a very capable staff that can help your family business deal with all kinds of issues. I don’t think I would change a thing about how they worked for us. Mike Lyons has been a blessing to our family, and I am thankful for the opportunity to work with him."
