[ Industry advisory · Professional services ]

Strategic advisory for project and program management firms.

Project management firms juggle long engagements, variable team mix and tight client expectations. We help PM firms run with real visibility on capacity, recovery and where future revenue is actually coming from.

[ What we hear, again and again ]

The pressures inside project management firms.

None of these are signs of a poorly-run business. They're signs that the financial relationship around the business hasn't kept up.

  • 01Long engagements with shifting scope and unclear margin
  • 02Resource allocation decisions made under pressure
  • 03Recovery and utilisation eroding without anyone noticing
  • 04Forward pipeline visibility weak beyond the next quarter
  • 05Director / partner economics out of step with effort and contribution

    Director / partner economics revisited honestly

  5. 05

    Tax, structure and wealth integrated into the operating rhythm

[ The numbers that matter ]

What good operators in this industry actually watch.

Not a long list — the handful of numbers that, watched consistently, change how the business is run.

  • 01

    Engagement margin

    Per client, per program, real-time

  • 02

    Utilisation by team mix

    Senior vs junior contribution

  • 03

    Pipeline coverage

    Forward revenue vs capacity

  • 04

    Director return

    What ownership actually returns over time

[ The honest line ]

We help PM firm directors stop running engagements on instinct — and start running them on visible numbers.

[ The next conversation ]

Bring forward visibility to the firm.

Bring the messy stuff. The numbers, the pressures, the decisions you've been putting off. The first conversation is structured, candid and obligation-free.
