We are an independent boutique consulting firm located in the heart of the Ozarks. We specialize in non-profit organizations with annual contribution revenue below $5M. Our consultants are former executives and leaders, philanthropy officers, database managers, CPAs, adult-education facilitators, and report writers. This means we stand ready to bring real-life industry expertise to the table to help you. Although we have different backgrounds, we have one thing in common:
We are unquestionably good at solving problems.
We are unquestionably good at solving problems.
Core Values:
- Integrity: We believe integrity is being honest, acting authentically, and choosing truth over popularity.
- Excellence: We believe in offering best in class solutions to your problems.
- Community: We believe in working with others to achieve goals. This means we partner with our clients, our peers, and our competitors to achieve results.
- Professional Development: We believe in order to be excellent we must constantly be willing to learn, grow, and expand our knowledge of ourselves and the industry.
We believe in the four following pillars:
We Help Further Your Mission
We are a boutique consulting firm with low overhead. Our fees are comparable to industry markets but something that makes us different: We do not charge ‘by the hour’ on most projects. This provides us the opportunity to find solutions without the constraint of pay-by-minute process and provides you with the comfort of contacting us when you need us regarding your scope of work without the constant “battle of the budget” coming into play.
We Partner To Reduce Pain Points
We have a knack for getting to the root of the problems but we are not all things to all people. We make recommendations for solutions outside of what we offer because we want you focused on your mission.
We Value People Over Profit
Poor project management and pay-by-hour fees create a culture of undesired (or unattainable!) results. Results matter to us. We promise to not sell you something if you don’t need it, provide additional ‘no cost’ or ‘cost reducing’ alternatives when possible, and we will remind you if a request is outside the project scope.
We Find Creative Solutions To Problems
We think outside the box. We ask “What if…?” We design solutions that get you the results you want. Sometimes that takes trust, but most the time it requires creativity.
