Show Notes:

Albert Assad has spent the last decade working hands-on with business owners who want more than advice, they want results. Through Atlantic Consulting Solutions, he has partnered with over 350 companies across North and Central America to align strategy, management, and finance with long-term goals, often driving triple-digit growth and materially improving EBITDA.
A key part of Albert’s work is helping founders think ahead to exit readiness. From strengthening cash flow and balance sheets to building management teams and fixing cultural breakdowns, his approach is designed to make companies both scalable and sellable. He’s guided multiple owners through M&A processes and helped businesses sell for significantly more than their initial offers.
Beyond consulting, Albert is also a co-founder of a bookkeeping firm, a partner in an M&A advisory practice, a Wharton-trained executive, and a professor at Emory. His perspective blends strategy, finance, and execution, grounded in real-world experience rather than theory.
