ABOUT 4 SQUARE ADVISORS
Turning Your Business Challenges into Growth Opportunities
Business growth brings inevitable changes—new products, leadership development, evolving supply chains, and ownership transitions. Over time, business performance can erode, resulting in missed market opportunities, loss of process integrity, and lack of clarity of critical metrics that drive results. Did we win the day?
4 Square Advisors is a strategic consulting firm that helps business owners optimize operations, enhance profitability, and drive sustainable growth through tailored strategies and a proven 80/20 methodology.
We start with a holistic view of your operation, including core customers and value streams. Through the 4 Square lens, we look at three key elements of your business: Customer experience/ease of doing business, operational complexity & visibility of workflows, and inventory. This proven approach sheds clarity on value leaks and critical gaps in your daily processes in creating a powerful road map to short term financial gains and long-term strategic effectiveness.
