History
Mason Advisors was founded informally many years ago. Through numerous successful engagements we discovered that we could provide value on a larger scale. While we are a consulting firm, our approach is different than most. We are involved in the day-to-day changes that drive profitability. Our business model is not to analyze and present options, but rather implement those options to ensure success.
We’ve worked with small to mid-market businesses that require Mason to revamp and streamline processes to drive profitability. Our proven method has been successful in both pre and post purchase transactions with Private Equity, market growth with owners and many other engagements shown below.
Our greatest success is when we are involved day-to-day, mentoring, and coaching employees rather than creating presentations and walking away.

Testimonials
“Mason are common sense operators who quickly assess a business, earn trust, make quick decisions, and then take action. They have firm conviction (and years of successful proof to back it up) of their decisions, but they also adapt and listen to all constituents. I can think of no group I’d rather have help us with challenging situations.”
“It was apparent from the beginning that the Mason team were professional, knowledgeable, and personable. The experience was honestly one of the best I have had in business and more so on a personal level. They truly care about you, your business, and the future. It is hard to find a team that exceeds expectations, Mason Advisors did just that. I would use them in the future with no hesitation.”
