ABOUT BREAKTHROUGH ACADEMY

Breakthrough Academy specializes in helping high-performing entrepreneurs in the contracting industry grow their businesses by implementing excellent operational systems into their companies. We believe in the unlimited potential of entrepreneurship and help our Members (customers) break through barriers and take their businesses to the next level.

Our proprietary training program brings systemization to a contracting company’s operations, develops an entrepreneur’s core business skills, and holds accountability to goals along a clear business plan. Breakthrough Academy is now ten years old and growing rapidly, with over 600 business owners developing in the program, and an awesome team of 50+ running the show. As we serve companies across the continent to level-up and systemize their operations, Breakthrough Academy itself has grown significantly, with 10 years of back-to-back revenue growth.

To continue building out our Ascension Programs (Leaders Circle) we’re hiring a Business Leadership Coach, a seasoned business leader with a strong executive coaching style, deep industry expertise, and the ability to guide high-revenue entrepreneurs through advanced leadership challenges.
