Who Is RK Fischer & Associates
RK Fischer & Associates has been providing business consulting and business coaching to owner-operated businesses since 2010. The business was started by our 2 partners after spending over 25 years each in senior management and executive roles in businesses including large, medium, small, as well as start-up businesses in a variety of industries. We found that businesses that were under 150 employees were underserved by many consulting and coaching firms and had difficulty finding highly qualified business consultants and business coaches that understood the needs of owner-operated businesses. It is for this reason, we have focused on this market from day one. It is important that there is business coaching and consulting for small business owners, as their requirements and budgets differ from their large business counter-parts and need a much more hands-on business help approach.
We partner when needed with other professionals to provide one-stop shopping services depending on your location. Some businesses with work under the RK Fischer umbrella, while others we will provide you with a direct referral.

To help owner-operated businesses achieve their business goals by developing and implementing the right strategies, plans, and processes based on best practices.
