Our Founder has experience in finance and accounting, working in Forecasting and finance related roles at Fortune 500 Firms. He started Montclair Amherst because he knew that all businesses need decision making help. Decisions need to be made, and information needs to be democratized. Small companies need to figure out crucial decisions everyday, when and how to hire and fire, how to penetrate new markets, and more. There are forks in the road where a critical decision can save hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, which could be the difference between survival and failure in lean years.
Expertise is critical for any business undertaking. Everyone needs advice, most of all, business owners. Montclair Amherst provides that expertise. We are run by a man who among many things, is a professional who graduated from an Ivy League Institution, who has worked in the banking sector in FP&A and CFO functions. Montclair Amherst is part of your success story that can improve your financial situation, whether you are a leader in your industry, or just starting out. Entrepreneurialism is not for the faint of heart. You need partners that can guide and help you improve your business from the ground up.
Kwasi Baryeh - Our founder
Creating a business shouldn't just be about money. You need to live and breathe the business, otherwise it would be better to seek a high paying job and invest the rest, rather than face the uncertainty and danger of starting your own business. Those that decide to drop everything and become entrepreneurs takes a special type of optimism and bravery. Those who end up leading businesses have to make critical decisions. Who should I hire? What accounting software should I use. How should I run payroll? Should I keep this business partnership/client? How do I win this contract? All of these questions, and more can be answered if you sit down and consult with the right person. Ultimately, in these days, the business you own needs to be adapted to the change economic/regulatory/social/cultural framework, and if you don't have someone in your corner, you could be making a critical mistake.
