What Our Clients Are Saying

We used to depend on an outside firm to handle our finance and accounting needs. When our mission expanded, Growth Operators provided the team and the expertise to build scalable in-house capabilities. Now we’re making a bigger impact than ever to fight hunger.

Growth Operators played a pivotal role in swiftly setting up our HR operations. They transformed what could have been a lengthy process into a streamlined and efficient operation, establishing a fully functional HR unit in just weeks. Their team didn’t just fill positions; they managed all aspects of our HR needs during our rapid growth phase.

Our talent and our trusted relationships are every bit as important as the capital we invest in our companies. Growth Operators has been a great partner to many of our businesses. They roll up their sleeves and earn the trust of our management teams because they’re operators themselves.

When you do consulting like this, the people do matter, and having the right consultants is number one. They have the right people.

With other firms, I always got the impression it was just a lead-up to something else or a way to sell more services to us. Growth Operators cares a lot, which is extremely rare and not easy to find. They put everything they have into solving the underlying problem.

"
– Rob Emrich, Founder, Infillion

We started our company with a dream of helping millions of people overcome mental health suffering and live better lives. The team from Growth Operators built us the scalable finance and accounting capabilities that are helping us turn that dream into reality.
