Steve lead our organization to successfully redirect its path and become a more productive, effective company. By simplifying our processes with Steve’s guidance, we have since improved our future financial growth exponentially!Additionally, Steve is open and welcoming as well as focused on people. He makes it clear that it is the people he works with and for who make what he does possible AND profitable.I can’t speak highly enough of his work ethic and support.

Coltivar surprised me! After 40 years in financial and consulting work, seldom have I encountered a company who is true to their values and promises. Their financial expertise along with their strategies, advice, and coaching have been invaluable. Our company already has realized substantial results. I am excited for what those changes will bring in the future.

Steve Coughran and the Coltivar Group are pioneers in developing and implementing the tools business need to stay competitive. The current business climate is experiencing unprecedented change and evolving at an exponential rate. I had the distinct pleasure to work for Steve Coughran and can personally speak to his knowledge, dedication, and work ethic. Steve is a forward thinker that has the unique ability to recognize where change needs to be made and implement that change. It would be dishonest of me to say that there were not some growing pains during development. Any change to the status quo will be met with some resistance. However, If you are looking to set your business up for prolonged stability and success, the Coltivar Group can take you there.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to work in a supportive, challenging environment where everyone pushes you to be your best. Coltivar had a profound impact on my development as well as on the companies with which it partnered.

A total joke of a company. They do not know what they are doing and the CEO thinks extremely high of himself, he shouldnt... I wouldnt trust them, very deceiving and disrespectful.Edit: I am confused to why I am getting a reply to my review from over a year ago. How incredibly inappropriate! I can distinctly tell that Coltivar has no idea who I am by their reply as well. I never hired you for a service and would never. I was the individual who received a job offer, signed a contract, and you emailed me the morning I was supposed to start to let me know the position was eliminated. No need to reply to this review. I only wanted others to know how incredibly unprofessional your company is. Even more so to reply to a review a year later. How dumb.

This course was a phenomenal use of time. Steve took us on a high-level journey that explained both the big picture and micro picture to understand financials in a meaningful way. I have my undergraduate degree in finance and have never had such a clear, dynamic presentation that ties all the financial statements together in a way that connects all the dots. Well done to the Coltivar team. I would recommend this course to anyone in any company no matter their position or level of interaction with financial statements.

The Coltivar Group has proven an invaluable asset to our company. Steve is a phenomenal teacher and mentor. Coltivar will provide you the tools and knowledge necessary to improve your company from top to bottom. We now consider everyone here a part of our team, not just a consulting firm.

Want the tools to help you lead more effectively and with a purpose? This program highlights the next steps in being a stronger and productive leader. I have more knowledge and confidence in the decisions and planning that Im involved in to help my company to greater success. Thank you!

My team and I started working with Steve and Coltivar over the past few months and I am feeling incredibly inspired and energized to start using his methods and tactics this season. I also like that he focuses so much on getting your team involved, not just working with the owners. He has something for everyone within your company.

Coltivar Group has played an instrumental part in setting up key business processes and continues to help it run smoothly. There are several reasons why I enjoy working with Steve and trust him to manage critical areas of my business: high moral fiber, organizational skills, intellectual prowess, and creativity. Though his expertise and hard work, Steve has helped make my business a success.

I have been working with Coltivar to continuously improve our business and my individual acumen. Through their outsourced CFO services and educational sessions. Coltivar has made a lasting impact on Systems Plumbing and helped transform us into a strategic company of the future.

Taking this seminar I realized there is more to a winning project than just getting it done on time and under budget. A superintendent can make a difference to the clients perception of a project and whether they want to repeat that experience with my company.Also, it makes me a partner with the office and how to capitalize on my strengths and get assistance with my weaknesses.A great program, and it was presented with construction verbiage and not vacuous platitudes. Well worth my time. Thank you!

I highly recommend this program. They come in, stir things up, and leave you with a better understanding of yourself and where your company needs to go. Best kick in the balls Ive had in years.

We have been working with the Coltivar Group over the past 5 years on developing financial analytics to guide our strategic decision making through a dramatic growth cycle. Steves knowledge of his trade is truly exceptional and only surpassed by his ability to connect the tools and metrics he helped us develop all the way down to our everyday work. I have learned a great deal from Steves tools and unique approach to business and leadership. I have also been impressed by how he has been able to develop a high level of financial proficiency across my team. I would highly recommend Steve to anyone looking to develop their team and grow their business.

I consider Steve not only a partner in growing my business, but a close and trusted friend. Since working with Coltivar Group, my company has increased its profitability significantly and run much smoother. I would recommend Coltivar to any company seeking measurable results.

If you are a business owner, this course is well worth your time. The content is not fluff or get rich quick schemes. This is must know finance for any person involved in finance in their company. In the course you learn solid business principles as well as strategies for growth and tax tips. I learned more in this class than I have taking several classes over the past 5 years.

Ive worked with the Coltivar Group for the past 3 years and have been thoroughly impressed with their consulting services. Steve has transformed my thinking and has helped me grow by leaps and bounds. I have seen tremendous growth over the years and Coltivar has played an instrumental part in the journey.

The workshop provided a great chance to get my entire team working toward concrete goals. Steve offers a great perspective and working knowledge of the industry.

My staff and I attended a Leadership Launch with the Cultivar Group. This was unlike any seminar I have ever attended. The day was filled with information and actions that were implemented right away and with incredible results. We have been working with Steve and his staff for the last two years and they have made the accounting side of my business work more efficiently and the results have been higher profits and productivity.

Steve is an extremely effective instructor in his use of visuals, delivery, questions and probing. Highly valuable instruction and a benefit to any organization, large or small.

Just spent two days in the Cultivar SFL training. I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was very challenging and intriguing! Looking forward to more courses in the future!

Steve and his team challenged us and continued to break the mold on typical strategic thinking. As a team, we stronger and more pro-active in our decision making for the future.

As a Project Coordinator and prospective manager I found the information presented in the Financial course crucial to understanding how to build a financially sound business that is prepared for growth. The unique information provided a model for how businesses should evaluate their financial health verses how we have all been taught.

Just did a 3 part seminar with Steve and his crew. They are very knowledgeable and prepared, I came away with several things I can implement in my business right away.

Coltivar Group has been very helpful to work with. I have very much enjoyed working with them and have learned a lot through their educational courses. I look forward to attending more courses they offer.

I love our industry tie in with these programs. Great takeaways with all the programs provided.

I always say, if I walk away from a training program with 1 useful item, it was worth it. I walked away from this one with multiple useful tools! Thank you!

The process Coltivar taught us will truly change our environment and provide the ongoing, lasting change this company has been seeking the last ten years.”

Great knowledge that you can use in practical ways. Its not like other programs where you hear great theories you can never practically implement.

Coltivar has an excellent program to help leadership understand how to think beyond what is the normal analysis of daily situations, as well as to help leadership in focusing on long-term company growth and overall health.

Steve was able to bring complex training to a large group consisting of every personality type possible in a clear, concise, and energetic way.

Coltivar can bring the open honesty and direction a company needs to define a CX culture that results in a competitive advantage. It really is a game changer!

Thought provoking and useful if one is serous about adding value to others.

Coltivar group always does a fantastic job in aiding us to build a better team!

Coltivar helped me understand that strategy is a journey, not a destination, you must continually evolve.”

I attended Coltivars financial workshop and took away vital information that I have begun to apply in my position as a preconstruction manager. The course was engaging, educational, and very relevant.

Steve Coughran had a good way of looking at Strategic Planning. He challenged me to adjust my thinking and look at the process in new way.

I have not ever been in a more impactful workshop. Very hard hitting material and excellent presentation.
