Ken Saddler

Certified Merger & Acquisition Advisor (CM&AA)

Hey, I’m Ken.

For the past 36+ years, I’ve helped countless businesses across the country grow anywhere from $1 million to $1.7 billion.

Regardless of your company size, I’m here to help you scale it — and, if you want, sell it for maximum value.

I could tell you more about my successful corporate career, my wide-ranging CFO work, or my knack for improving profitability and exit planning…

But I’d rather hear about your work. Because that’s the only way I’ll know how to help you figure out your best next step.

Three reasons to trust Ken

(I don’t like talking about myself, but here goes…)

 

I have 36+ years of wide-ranging financial and business leadership experience, which means I know how to solve complex problems and increase business value for nearly any industry.

Education-Icon-Blueprint

I hold an MBA from the University of Dallas and a BSBA degree from the University of Arizona, which honed my skills in corporate finance, marketing, accounting, and more.

Minnesota Icon

I am a Minnesota resident, husband, father, and soon-to-be grandpa, as well as an athlete and volunteer, which means I value the same things you do: family, health, and community.

 

Why don’t I just let my clients do the talking for me?

  • “I’ve had the pleasure of working directly with Ken on two separate occasions. He not only brought a very strong technical knowledge to the business, but more importantly a broad-based understanding of the general business and its strategy. Ken had a unique ability to make the tough calls from a financial point of view without compromising our division’s growth and strategic initiatives. I routinely used Ken in the role of advisor and confidant. He approached a broad range of subjects with fresh views and complete confidentiality.”

    President & Former Boss with Newell Rubbermaid

  • “Ken has freed me to work on growth areas with our business. Additionally, the detailed budget, cash flow, P&L, and balance sheet have provided great tools for making better business decisions.”

    – Dave Kirsch
    Owner, Shippers Supply Inc.

  • “Ken has been working with our company for the past six months. We view Ken as an employee that only works one day per week. Ken’s involvement has been to improve our financial reporting accuracy, mentor and educate our accounting supervisor, and improve the accuracy of our inventory valuation. He has impacted all of those areas. I would highly recommend Ken.”

    – Jack Schuster
    President, Engineered Products Co.
