Testimonials

"Over my 20 years with the County, I have had dealings with several consultants, all of whom expected me to do their work for them, and who either turned around and passed my work off as theirs, or ignored the goals that we were trying to achieve and never got us going in the right direction. All, that is, except for Stuart Marsh. Stu was always able to not only crunch numbers and develop metrics, he was also able to help us figure out which numbers mattered. He is the only consultant that I have encountered that did not walk into my situation with the assumption that everything that I was doing was wrong, rather he assessed what the present situation was, what was good and bad, and helped us figure out both long and short term solutions and goals. In addition to great work, Stu also is a pleasure to work with. He has a great sense of humor to go along with a great work ethic, so the hard work that you have to do will probably also yield some good stories. In sum, I recommend Stu Marsh to you without reservation."

"Without question, none of the success we are experiencing could have been achieved without Stu's vision and perseverance in bringing that vision to reality. He knew when to push people to make change and when other approaches were needed. He brought a degree of professionalism to our contracting process that had been sorely lacking. Probably the most telling comment to me was one made by a long-time contract manager (in excess of 20 years) after he took a promotion. He said, 'You know, I didn't think much of Stu's deal [the new model] at first, but now it really does make sense to me.'

"My only regret with working with Stu is that I have not had the opportunity to bring him back for another engagement.”

"We have worked with Stu through most of his career and engaged him to help with Long-term and Short-term Strategic Planning. Stu led our Executive Management Team through a budgeting and forecasting process that was extremely helpful in aligning our plans with our objectives. He has also been instrumental in helping formulate a sales plan along with a revised compensation plan that ties back to our strategic goals. Stu creates tools that are extremely valuable in first formulating the plan and which can then be used to track and monitor progress. I have always found his work to be timely, accurate, and of the highest quality, but his most valuable asset for me is his willingness to tell me what I need to hear, not just what I want to hear. I would highly recommend Stu for any role you consider him qualified for."

"Stu has provided excellent business consulting services to me as a C.F.O. for over 20 years and has provided the independent business advice I have needed on many different problems. He has the ability to research an issue, present his findings in a format which is very easy to understand, and develop solutions which can be implemented with measurable results. Stu works very well with many different personalities. He has provided the leadership and organizational skills on several large group projects and succeeds because he gets people to trust him. I recommend Stu Marsh for any business consulting services needed."

"We counted on Stu for his sage advice and astute analysis. He was always a pleasure to work with. He knows that he has a standing offer to come work with us; the problem is that he won’t leave Rochester! Stu has a great business sense and I can recommend him wholeheartedly and without reservation."
