Mike Whitlock of Tannian Consulting has been one of the best things to ever happen to our company. We have been clients of Tannian Consulting for over 15 years. Mike’s solid, sound advice has not only helped us through difficult economic times, but has allowed us to thrive and grow our company. Mike is a great cheerleader, strategizer, collaborator and always the voice of reason. We can not recommend his services highly enough!

We have been working with Mike since December 2014. He has been an integral part of our business since then. Our monthly financial meetings keep us on track and force us to analyze our data. Our yearly budgeting, cash flow analysis and 5 year plans have helped our business grow to where it is today. He is positive when it is warranted and very serious when we need to focus and run the hard numbers. I would highly recommend his services.

I have had the pleasure of working with Tannian Consulting for over ten years now. I first met Mike at his “Real Cash Real Profit” course and knew right away he would be a great fit for me by helping us have a clear understanding of our financial picture. Over the years Mike has become a trusted advisor and friend. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for an honest, knowledgeable and caring individual to help with their business. I consider Mike to be more than just a service provider, he is a major part of my team

We were extremely lucky to meet Mike Whitlock and Tannian Consulting early in our tenure as owners of Paul Davis Restoration of North Florida. For 15 years, Mike guided us in our strategic planning efforts. He was outstanding counsel as we defined our business model and grew our organization, revenue, and profits.

At first we worked with him twice a year, then quarterly, and finally on a monthly basis. We credit his work keeping us focused on “the plan” with being a key factor in our ability to not only create and run a profitable business, but to also position it for a successful sale and our ultimate exit from the business with the equity we had created.

Mike Whitlock is an extremely knowledgeable financial professional. He also has the ability to deliver practical real life financial and business advice and then be the accountability partner to help make sure that it is followed.

With Mike’s help we consistently built plans, executed plans, and delivered results. We considered him one of our most valuable business partners and highly recommend him to anyone who not only wants to build and run a successful business, but also would like to one day exit that business with fair rewards.
— Michael & Marguerite Mumford, Former Owners, Paul Davis Restoration of North Florida
 

Mike is an outstanding trainer. He has opened my eyes as how the ‘numbers’ affect us daily. He enjoys teaching his expertise to us, the business owners who run daily routines. This program was excellent.

Very useful material and well presented. This is the best professional development course the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Alberta has offered!

It’s been pure pleasure working with Tannian Consulting off and on through the 7 years I’ve worked as Business Manager at Holy Family. Tanni is the person you want to quickly assess the needs, the obstacles and then put in place plans that work. Her attention to details and thoughtful scheduling ensure milestones are achieved.

Our school endowment remains strong thanks to Tanni’s foresight, research and thoughtful planning early on. Our most recent campaign exceeded our hopes of over $2M in large part because Tanni takes the time to know the people she’s working with and the alignment with the broad audience. Her passion for success is contagious and she always builds “fun” into her projects, so everyone wants to work with her. She’s a rare gem in the world of development planning.

Tanni Whitlock established a strong foundation of relationships and connections between Holy Family and our parents, alumni, parishioners, and community members. Mrs. Whitlock worked tirelessly to keep tuition accessible for our parish families.... To meet her goals, Mrs. Whitlock built our school’s endowment to over $1,000,000, started a program to cover the cost of the auction, directed the school’s 50th and 60th anniversary celebrations, and kept our students ... at the center of everything she did. We are grateful for the legacy of love and support for the staff, students and families of Holy Family Parish School.
