The ADVISORS
Our advisors come from a wide variety of industries and disciplines. All advisors are seasoned executives with a strong track record of industry success. We share a few common attributes:
A strong track record of success
Industry Experience
A desire to continue to offer our expertise to our customers
A desire for immense professional flexibility (hence our model of fixed scope, fixed fee engagements)
Q4 Advisors are only invited to join the firm through the personal invitation of an existing advisor so we know and can vouch for the quality of the work we deliver.
