The Silver Mountain Group · Est. in Utah

Risk more than others think is safe. Dream more than others think is practical.

A family-run company built on more than 25 years of owning, operating, and growing real businesses. We don't study the climb from base camp. We've made it.

Our story

Operators, not observers.

Plenty of consultants have studied business. We've owned them for more than 25 years, a family operation we still run today, through every economy, every staffing market, and every curveball the last quarter century has thrown.

That's the difference we bring to the table. Every strategy we recommend is something we'd bet our own payroll on, because we have. We know what it takes to hire, train, and keep great people. We know what the numbers look like when they're honest. And we know the difference between advice that sounds good in a slide deck and advice that survives a Saturday rush.

Quality support, guidance, and education, through innovation, leadership, and research.

A family that builds businesses.

More than 50 combined years of ownership, leadership, and people development, and every one of them earned on the floor, not in the gallery.

Founder

Lynne DeCol

Business & Finance Advisor

Lynne is the visionary behind the Silver Mountain Group, and "visionary" is not a word we use loosely. For more than 25 years she has owned, operated, and grown businesses through every market a quarter century can produce, leading teams from a scrappy handful to full-scale operations.

She sees where a business can go before the business does, then builds the financial discipline to actually get it there. Endless experience, sharp instincts, and a standard of excellence that pulls everyone around her up to meet it.

Advisor

Dr. Tyler DeCol

Education & Development Advisor

Tyler holds an EdD in Educational Psychology (Higher and Postsecondary Education) and has spent his career proving that great training changes everything. He currently leads one of Utah's largest frontline service operations, developing teams of 300 to 400 people where leadership isn't theory, it's Tuesday.

Raised in the family business and forged on the front line, he translates research into training people actually remember, and turns groups of employees into teams that perform.

What clients say

Don't take our word for it.

It was a wonderful experience working with Tyler. He was patient and always kind in his instruction and encouraged me to offer ideas and recommendations. He trusted me in training. He is always fair and hardworking.

Christie B.

Tyler's calm demeanor, effective training, and fairness are some of his greatest qualities. The onsite consulting and training courses were great for us. One of his greatest traits is his ability to encourage us when we were frustrated with new ideas. He encouraged us to generate our own.
