"After doing my research, I chose Miles Advisory Group (“MAG” for short). They are based in Atlanta but have virtual assistants all over the U.S. I am very high on the Miles Advisory Group, it is a joy to connect you to a solution that could truly be a game-changer."

"Vertical Church could not ask for a better fit than our working relationship with you, and we are grateful at how you turned our mess into a nice, clean process. Your willingness to work hard, admit (and correct) mistakes, be flexible and be consistent takes a tremendous amount of stress from me, allowing me to focus on things that need my attention more than finances. These are little things like introducing Jesus to people, prayer, relationships, & etc. Your professionalism is unmatched! Our investment in MAG has been, in my humble opinion, the single best fiscal decision we have made. No regrets … not one."

"I just want to say again how grateful I am for this service. Working alongside me, MAG has helped me see my responsibilities clearer and helped me develop a strategy to succeed. It's been amazing (and clearly the Holy Spirit) how many times we've talked and I come away with a much greater understanding of what my role is, and how to accomplish that."

“I have worked with Bryan Miles from MAG on multiple type of projects and have rarely found anyone who is more creative in solving many types of issues that churches face. He has a knack of seeing beyond the horizon though the hedges that churches are trying to tame, by giving them tools that will grow lighter over time - not heavier."
