Our growth advisory practice was born out of our mission to partner with growth-focused organizations, especially start-ups and small to medium businesses (SSMBs), that share our values. As you endeavour to scale your organization, we help you build a solid foundation to fulfill your vision. We bring the experience, skill, entrepreneurial mindset, and network to enhance your strategy, offering pragmatic solutions that fuel growth. Below is a glimpse of our growth advisory and offshore management services and the ways we can support you on your growth journey:
Fractional Leadership
With a razor focus on maximizing value and optimizing resources, our fractional executive services provide the strategic leadership experience your organization needs to grow successfully. As your trusted growth advisory partners, we develop strategies, implement systems, and guide your team through your organization’s growth journey. As thought leaders in transformation, we bring expertise and best practices to help you create a progressive culture, sound company structure, and a brand strategy. We also provide robust oversight on operations, IT, finance, accounting, and human resources.
Go-to-Market Strategy and Execution
Our team of seasoned growth advisors is passionate about helping start-ups succeed. Using a pragmatic approach, we help these companies develop comprehensive action plans to bring their products and services to market. Our strategic guidance starts with customer discovery, giving us the insight necessary to position your product and segment the market. Leveraging our experience and key industry partnerships, we’ll work with you to create a business model designed to grow revenue by developing sales processes, managing the launch of new products and services, and monitoring key performance indicators.
Risk Management
Risk is inherent in business, but losses don’t have to be. That’s why strategic risk management is an important part of our growth advisory and offshore management practices. We provide leadership, and cost-effective offshore compliance services to assess the risks your organization faces, identify opportunities, and ensure losses are mitigated. With decades of experience in risk management and continuous improvement, our team has enabled organizations to execute successful transformations and powered fast-paced growth at globally recognized organizations. To reduce compliance costs, we can complement the oversight with quality offshore enterprise risk management, internal controls (including SOX/CSOX implementation), internal audit, and business process reengineering services.
Technology and Business Process Outsourcing
Flexibility is the key to driving transformative growth and innovation. Our technology and business process outsourcing services are designed to build operational flexibility into your strategic growth plan, allowing you to focus on your core business. We evaluate your current infrastructure to gain an understanding of your needs and opportunities and use our wide network of industry and business relationships to match you with the right solutions. Engaged in the process from start to finish, we lead contract and service-level agreement negotiations, and manage implementation. As your trusted outsourcing advisors our work doesn’t end with implementation. We conduct ongoing independent evaluations and assessments of outsourced operations.
International Market Entry and Expansion
Entering new markets and expanding internationally presents new opportunities and challenges for your business. Combining our understanding of the business environment and cultural dynamics of the target market, we develop effective market entry strategies and leverage our relationships to select the right channel partners to execute these strategies. With extensive experience working with clients and partners around the globe, we support your expansion every step of the way with effective marketing, regulatory and logistic solutions.

What does the process look like from first contact to a successful partnership?
Like every organization, every engagement is unique! Typically, this is what you can expect:
Getting Acquainted: We take some time to get to know each other with a few calls or in-person meetings. During this time, we’ll review your strategic documents (under NDA, of course), job descriptions, objectives, and website. We use this time to ensure we understand your unique objectives and how you can benefit from our growth advisory services.
Proposal: Once we’ve had the opportunity to learn and understand your business and objectives, we will provide a proposal outlining exactly how we can add value to your organization.
Building the Relationship: For all accepted proposals, we envision a short-term engagement to deliver on immediate objectives. During this time, we also focus on building a deeper understanding of your business and a relationship rooted in trust. As we complete our short-term objectives, we engage further with specifics on how we can help you achieve growth and fulfill your vision.
