About C.H.A.L.L.E.N.G.E.S.®
C.H.A.L.L.E.N.G.E.S.® was founded in 1993 by Jim (a Certified Management Consultant) and Ann Marie Kwaiser (Registered Nurse) in Pittsburgh, PA. Our family business clients can be found in the United States and Europe.
We help families in business by creating innovative solutions to their personal and business challenges. After working with hundreds of family businesses (and being one too!) we understand the emotional as well as practical challenges that are unique to each family and each family business. Because of our experiences and constant effort to learn new techniques and methods, we know how to design the custom-made strategies that strengthen family relationships, increase performance and business value, while preserving family legacy. We know we can help.
We have a "non-threating" process that enable us to address a number of personal and business issues without dreating more conflict or stress. We have been told that we are a "safe place" for families to address their concerns and issues. Personal and Business issues that may include: Communication, Conflict, Success Planning, Strategic Planning, Rules, Roles, Family Meetings, In-Laws, Generational Disconnect, Organizational and Personnel Development to name a few.
At C.H.A.L.L.E.N.G.E.S.® we become family business mentors, consultants, advisors and trusted friends. We don’t sell insurance, estate plans, accounting services, bank programs, or have any hidden agenda to “lock” you into our “program.” Our services are based on the solid practical advice gained by many years of family business experience and by keeping in touch with the changing family business environment.
We know we can help. We are committed to strengthen families and improve business results. Check our practical experiences and review our testimonials. Give us a call and let's discover if we are a "fit" for your family and your business.

C.H.A.L.L.E.N.G.E.S.® is unique from other so-called "Family Business Consulting Firms." Our difference not only includes what has been mentioned but also with the fact that we have worked successfully in, with and for many hundreds of families in business for over three decades. We are one of a select few consultants who work exclusively with families in business. We offer personalized service producing results within hours not months. Another difference is at C.H.A.L.L.E.N.G.E.S. ®, we use a flat fee system to insure our clients will not be surprised with unbudgeted fees. Fees that include many hidden charges such as; stamps, materials, lunches and a variety of “add-ons” that always surprise the client when it is time to pay the invoice. We don’t sign contracts as we never want our clients to feel that they are “stuck” with us even if it is discovered that the timing for our process should be delayed. By not signing contracts we also have the flexibility to remove ourselves from a situation when the family may not be ready or committed, to move forward with the process.
At C.H.A.L.L.E.N.G.E.S.® we understand that every family is unique due to their emotional interaction, family dynamics and business direction. Our proven process help each family identify their specific challenges, prioritize them in a manageable way and implement solutions that will be in the best interest of the family and the business. Our focus is to suggest, guide and help the family discover what is in the best interest of the family and business with “family first” always being at the center of all we do. This is a charge that we take very seriously.
As a family business, and after working with, in and for many of hundreds of client families, we have a unique ability to be able to “sit next to” our families in business instead of across from them. We can easily relate to their needs because we have faced and experienced many of the same issues they struggle with each and every day.
What Makes US Different?
We stress a “Family First” philosophy. Our approach focuses on solid family relationships as the foundation of family and business success. We help strengthen those relationships.
We blend the family with the business. Both need to be addressed in order to find the best solutions. We help find solutions that are in the best interest of the family and the business.
We understand. We are a family business and work only with families in business. Our practical experience allows us to “sit next” to our clients in understanding the personal and business challenges they face.
We have the business expertise. We have the practical experience of leading, owning and assisting many types of businesses.
We understand the business of business and know how to assist with best business strategies.
We are here to help families in business. We are not insurance agents, investment counselors, attorneys or bankers. We are here to help the family not sell them something.
We assist in the best interest of the entire family. We help the entire family not just one member of the family. All the owners and working family members must agree that we are a “fit” before we will consider working with them.
At C.H.A.L.L.E.N.G.E.S.® we are honored to have the opportunity to work with families in business, of all sizes, in many industries and locations. We have a positive track record of helping our family clients find the solutions that will be a “fit” for the uniqueness of each family and business.
