About Phil

After growing up in a family business when interest rates were 23% and suffering a lot of financial and emotional stress from those tough times, I was driven to work with business owners to reduce their stress, increase control, and build wealth through their businesses.

Phil's Story

From the resilient roots of a family business during the tough times of 23% interest rates to the strategic heights of corporate boardrooms, my journey has been driven by a relentless commitment to help business owners turn financial adversity into business opportunity and wealth. My family's personal saga of triumph over economic challenges during my teenage years is the cornerstone of Symco Growth Group.


The Catalyst of Change

My formative years in the family business weren't just a lesson in economics; they were a masterclass in resilience and innovation. The financial stresses and strains my parents and family endured became my motivation to master the art and science of business. In my first job as a CPA, I delved into the numbers that narrated a company's past but soon realized my true calling was improving its future. Onward to consulting!

Shaping Futures, Not Just Figures

In 1996, I pivoted from the historical focused accounting world to to the future-oriented consulting world and helping business owners create legacies, dedicating my life to business consulting. My mission: to empower business owners to see--and seize--a more prosperous future . By reducing the complexities of business ownership into strategic growth plans, I've helped reduce stress and improve the quality of life for countless clients.

A Tapestry of Expertise

With an MBA and a Certified Management Consultant (CMC) designation under my belt, my approach is both analytical and empathetic. My CPA helps me analyze your financials and talk numbers with your banker. As a corporate director with an ICD.D accreditation, my governance experience crosses multiple industries, bringing a wealth of diversified knowledge to the boardroom (or kitchen) table.

Three Decades of Transformative Impact

Over the past thirty three years, I've worked with over 64 industry segments in seven countries, helping entrepreneurs globally to build better businesses. The result? Hundreds of businesses have not only seen an increase in revenue and profit but have become inherently more valuable companies (boosting the owner's potential retirement holdings) under my guidance.

Authoring Growth: Phil's Published Insights

In addition to guiding business leaders through strategic growth, I'm a recognized author in the realm of business excellence.

Co-authoring "The Business Wealth Builders" with my mentor and industry titan Alan Weiss, I share actionable wisdom for achieving financial success and corporate longevity. My collaborative works with a global mastermind group, including titles such as "Acceleration," "Traction," "Full Speed Ahead," and "The Future of Work," provide forward-thinking insights into driving business momentum and adapting to the evolving economic landscape.

My books reflect my commitment to helping entrepreneurs to grow their businesses and educating other consultants who work with small/medium companies that want to grow.
