Nathan and Deborah were great in helping our business make a new hire.As a business owner, we have to recognize when we're not cut out for something and either cut it, or hire someone more qualified to do it.Southbrook was able to take the lead on something we aren't good at and facilitate the hire of a new team member who will take on work within our business that will allow us to spread the load and facilitate future growth.We couldn't be more pleased with how easy the process was and all we had to do was communicate and Southbrook got it done.Thank you!

I decided to use Southbrook to help me find a project coordinator. Working with Nathan and everybody else was very easy. They use a great system of interviews to screen candidates to make sure the final candidate was highly qualified and best matched to our company. It saved me quite a bit of time and I have no doubt that it gave me the best candidate. Thank you.

Excellent, effective company to work with! Feeling very confident after our recent meeting with Nathan to complete our budget as we head into another busy season. Highly recommend their services.

I started working with Nathan in December 2018, with a one time initial consult and review of my business operations. This lead to us having regular scheduled meetings, to aid in me making my business more profitable. In a eight month span he has helped me obtain a 211% increase in net profit and 42% improvement in equity. I was hesitant as first to hire on a consultant but now less then a year later I have no regrets in doing so. Nathan is professional and well experienced, I would highly recommend his services.

I have been working with Nathan and Southbrook for about 9 months and they have been fantastic. Nathan has helped us out both strategically with the company and on the HR front with the recent new hiring of an accounting associate. They handled the screening, interviewing and final interview so we could concentrate on our business, which was incredibly helpful. Nathan has also been working with us on our corporate strategy and the implementation of that strategy and his insights, thoughts, and ideas have been invaluable. I would highly recommend the team at Southbrook.
