Nick is a very intelligent businessman. In my time as CEO of the catering company MyWay Meals LLC Nick’s advice helped me revise my logistic capacity from local to national reach. His expertise in finance, logistics, and operations was invaluable. I would highly recommend Nick for any business that is ready to scale to the next level.
Nick’s attention to detail, holistic understanding of scenarios, and expertise on a wide array of matters impacting businesses is why I continue to return seeking his guidance. It’s his integrity and willingness to understand the entirety of the matter. If in a rare circumstance, Nick doesn’t have the answer or experience, he is willing to say so. Over the years, I have come to respect Nick and rely on his opinion with business and what to look for when entering partnerships or acquisitions.
Without question, Nick Gausling's contribution to the NE team was invaluable. He is still a consistent source of information and inspiration. Nick brought a large cache of financial acumen and was able to easily transfer his knowledge to the team. Under his mentorship, we were able to learn how make financial assumptions to benefit our company. Nick was able to teach large groups of District Managers effectively and his personal one on one mentorship was highly coveted within the company.

As I seek to sell the company that I founded almost 30 years ago, Nick's advice has been invaluable. His due diligence work helped me understand the valuation, identify what my options are, and what practical steps I should take to prepare my business for these major changes. Thank you, Nick, for all your help.
