About the firm
Provenance Advisory Group trains owners and managers on the operations that keep a business running, and steps in as a fractional operations lead to build the systems and run them. In English and French.
Benjamin Kobe founded Provenance Advisory Group in Winnipeg. Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. Former federal income tax auditor. He runs the operations seat for owner-run trades, shops, and carriers that are hiring and cannot wait. The test he uses on every number and every process: does the story match the evidence.
Young practice. You get the founder.
English and French. Canada and the US.
In art and in property, provenance is the documented history that proves what something is and what it's worth. A business is similar. When the operations are documented, the numbers are clean, and the team can run the place without the owner in every decision, the business is easier to run, easier to hand off, and worth more. Our work is building that: the training, the systems, and the documented way of working that let a business stand on its own.
We don't do valuations, Chartered Business Valuators do. We don't broker deals, we don't give tax advice, and we don't practise law. When your situation needs those professionals, we say so in writing and refer you to people who do them well. Our job is the one none of them offer: training your team and installing the operations that make the business run.
Every estimate we put in front of you is rounded down, every assumption is printed beside it, and when your figure differs from ours, we use yours. If our work is worth doing, honest numbers will show it.
Every engagement is a fixed fee or a flat retainer agreed before we start. You will never receive a surprise invoice from us, and we will never have an incentive to make the work take longer.
