We are here to help you to identify and drive that sustained change.

By combining our operational expertise, capabilities and highly strategic thinking with your vision, you will be better positioned to beat the competition and achieve your goals.

The Schatten Group brings to your organization a management methodology that helps to ensure that you and your team focus efforts on the same important issues. Our methods provide a planning model for the company that channels efforts and coordination. That fosters more discipline in thinking, clarity in communications and more purpose in action. Simply put, if you get everybody pointing in the same direction, you can maximize results. Growth starts with conviction and buy-in at the top. It is realized by implementation of sound strategy and plans by a team that is aligned.

John Doerr, a famed venture capitalist said “ideas are easy. Execution is everything.” Many companies have sound strategies and brilliant plans but are unable to implement.

We will help you identify and gather the information you need to measure your progress and make adjustments as circumstance change. We will help you align and train your team. We will isolate business processes that need refinement and opportunities for business process automation.

Above all else, we will hold you accountable. People respond to strong leadership. Leadership that is clear, leadership that communicates and leadership that is consistent. If the leader follows the plans, plays by the rules she established for the company and provides direction to the company communicated with confidence, breakthrough results can be achieved. We will hold you accountable to the company goals you established, telling you the truth when no on else will. Because at The Schatten Group, we succeed when you succeed, and we want to measure success through sustained change that constantly positions you and us to play a much bigger game.

About Our Founder

Alan Schatten began his career as a CPA, but found the lines of a balance sheet too narrow a focus. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to work in and with a wide variety of industries; that experience formed the basis for the techniques and tools we use to help successful business owners to grow or sell their business.

A Partnering Relationship

We don’t presume that we know more about your business than you do. We don’t presume that we’re smarter than you. You’ve already achieved great success with your business. The objective is to build on your proven track record of success to help you achieve your next goal.

What Our Clients Say

“In the early nineties my partner and I purchased a struggling marine supply wholesale distributor on Long Island. Soon after, we met Alan Schatten and hired him as our accountant. In a relatively short period of time, we realized Alan was not just about putting numbers in columns. Alan quickly learned the internal workings of our company – payroll, inventory, personnel, cash flow, sales and marketing, profit margins, and our competition. Alan became our adviser and confidante, forcing us to take time to step away from our hands on, day to day grind and focus on the big picture details as we grew our company.” [Read More]
