I had the pleasure of working with Zack Al-Mahayni and the Cogent team to restructure our company and optimize my role as General Manager of Elite Pipeline Services. We operate a unique business model, and Zack  successfully navigated our complex company dynamics. He successfully improved communication channels across our division while significantly boosting overall efficiencies and productivity. I highly recommend Cogent's business services to any organization looking to scale and or streamline operations.

After a few months of working with Cogent I have nothing but great things to say. I have learned tons and with Cogent’s guidance I honestly think our company will flourish.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kris was kind but blunt. He spent this time really getting a high-level analysis of the company. I believe this next step will help us improve our processes, culture, communications, and business. I am excited to jump in feet first.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This experience has brought new life into our expectations for the future of our business.   It was the best 2 days that we could have hoped for capturing insight on all the facets of our business that we were overlooking.   Andrew Acer was our guy and we were truly impressed with the coverage and sincerity of his work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Cogent Analytics. They initially came in to perform a discovery of our business and have continued working alongside us to help restructure and strengthen our company for continued growth, long-term success, and generational wealth. Matthew Boos was originally assigned to our business, and from the very beginning, he was professional, patient, honest, and made sure we fully understood every step of the process. He was not afraid to give us the hard truths we needed to hear, while also providing the guidance, tools, and support necessary to make meaningful changes. Since then, we have continued using several of Cogent’s services and have had a great experience with the entire team. Laney and Heather have been helping us with marketing, Jeff has been working with us on accounting, Merlin has guided us through tax issues and retirement planning, and Harrison has been teaching us CMS and everything that goes along with putting those systems into place. We are also looking forward to meeting with Matthew’s successor, Rick, next week as we continue working to put everything we have been taught into practice. It is reassuring to know that Cogent’s support does not end when one consultant’s assignment is complete. Their entire team continues working with us and behind the scenes to help make sure we succeed. Cogent has helped us put better structure, processes, accountability, and planning in place, and we are excited about what the future holds for our company and our family. We would absolutely recommend Cogent Analytics to any business owner who is ready to hear some hard truths, make necessary changes, and receive the guidance and support needed to continue growing.

Cogent Analytics is a private management advisory firm that works on-site and remotely with privately held, established American companies doing $1M+ in revenue who have 6 to 500 employees (We do not work with startups). We diagnose and fix real problems behind stalled growth, thin margins, and tight cash flow.

We were built by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs. Our founder, Rob Braiman, started the company in 2014 after seeing how many business owners and leaders work themselves into a corner instead of building the freedom they set out to create. His goal was simple: help leaders take back their time, grow their profits, and build businesses that actually support the life they want.

At Cogent, our industries include contractors, manufacturers, wholesalers, architects, engineers, transportation companies, and technology firms. Our services span strategic planning, marketing, workforce development, recruiting, accounting, tax planning, succession planning, business valuations, and AI solutions, giving owners support across every part of their business.

Everything Cogent Analytics does is guided by a clear set of values: honor, courage, wisdom, faith, perseverance, and loyalty. These values shape how our team supports clients through tough decisions and long-term growth, not just quick wins. Since small businesses employ nearly half of the American workforce and generate a major share of the country’s economic output, We believe that helping owners succeed creates a positive ripple effect for families, employees, and communities everywhere.
