Steven Beal, MBA, CGA, CFA, CBI is the founder and principal of Beal Consultants. He is a strategic thinker with 18 years experience in corporate management prior to starting his own consulting practice. He excels at problem solving, strategic planning and detailed financial analysis.

His previous experience included senior financial positions in investment banking, corporate banking, and head office of a large Canadian bank. After spending years performing financial and strategic planning and mergers & acquisition within a bank, Steve identified the need for small and medium business to have access to the same level of expertise, causing him to leave his position to establish Beal Business Growth Consultants, Inc.

Mr. Beal obtained his Master’s of Business Administration (MBA) from the Ivey School of Business Administration in 1988, received his designation as a Chartered General Accountant (CGA) in 1996 and became a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) in 1999.  In 2006, Mr. Beal started working on his Chartered Business Valuator’s (CBV) designation. The CBV program brings a multi-disciplinary approach to the problem of valuing a company, bringing together strategic, management, and financial issues.

Mr. Beal is active at the director level in several non-profit organizations, and spent a year overseas working with a relief & development NGO in rural Africa.
