About Us

Our Mission

To maximize the value of our client’s firm at any point along their growth trajectory

Our Methodology

Proven

IAG’s perspective and advisory services are based on over three decades of leading and managing consulting practices through start-ups, turnarounds, and rapid market expansion. 

Practical

IAG focuses on providing solutions that have been successfully executed in our industry. Issues are best resolved when they are addressed in our daily, weekly, and monthly processes.

Scalable

IAG provides scalable and effective solutions for your firm’s size. IAG listens and provides services from newly formed startups through national top 50 firms.

Strategy. Action. Results.

We believe that creating a plan gets in the way of having a plan. Too many times, team members with the best of intentions drill into the details and unearth the various challenges we will face as we pursue a strategy. As a result, the strategy unravels before it really gets started. Our philosophy is to not mix “what” with the ‘how”. Two distinct team discussions are needed to produce a strategy and the plan for implementation.

Strategy

Developing and memorializing a vision for the firm is the first step in transformational growth.

Strategic Planning Facilitation & Documentation

Whether your firm’s plan is in your head or is facilitated for your team by IAG, I can help you put it on paper and make it real.
