Hi, I'm Ben McAdam, an investor/advisor, Profits Coach, entrepreneur, presenter, and seasonal podcast host.
For over two decades, I've helped more than 2,000 business owners around the world achieve more growth, more profits and more clarity around their numbers, without judgement or confusing jargon.
My current focus is on expanding my portfolio of profitable acquisitions and growing each of them, but I also take on a limited number of 1:1 clients.

- Client got over 200% what they were expecting on a business sale.
- Client increased revenue $211k per year.
- Client results, case studies and testimonials here.
