For specialist consulting firms

Scale your consulting firm without scaling headcount.

More profit per person. Less founder dependency. A more valuable firm.

Firms that grow by adding more people hit walls early.

Specialist consulting firms that grow by adding more people start hitting walls around $5M.

Margins compress.

The team gets harder to manage.

The business becomes less attractive to buyers and increasingly dependent on the founder.

Not adding bodies. Building leverage. →

It's not just you.Managing people is the hardest part of running a business.

Smart enough to know people drive the numbers. Specialist enough to do something about it.
