Our story began with a passion for the arts and grew into a mission to help artists and creative people succeed in business. No matter your industry, birthing a business is a messy, chaotic, beautiful undertaking, full of trial and error, ebb and flow, and often requires the support of someone who has been there before.
Let us help you find the order in your chaos. Let us help you see the beauty in processes and structure.
The challenge many entrepreneurs and small business owners face is reconciling the creative process of the work they love with the stiff and structured requirements of the business world. These differences often seem irreconcilable, but they're not. We saw a need for personalized, results-driven consulting services and set out to create a company that would bridge that gap. Today, we continue to uphold that same passion and commitment to excellence with every client across every industry.

Business Consulting for the Creative Process.
Process Development for the Success of your Endeavour.
Our Management Consulting services should have been called "How to build a great board, a C-suite that's worth its weight in gold, and develop support relationships that make your organization sing," but that was a little too long.
We help nonprofits improve their organizational structure, leadership, and management practices. We work with you to identify areas of improvement, develop a customized plan, and implement change to optimize your organization.
Coaching for the startup nonprofit CEO is a series of sessions designed to help a new nonprofit's CEO or President understand their role and responsibilities, and provide overall guidance and advice as they and their organization grow.
Coaching and consulting for the team are also available hourly or contractually.
Our Fundraising Consulting services help nonprofits understand their fundraising opportunities and obligations. We work to inform and empower everyone in your organization to become champions for your cause and find ownership in the fundraising process.
We consult on everything from event concept to budget to implementation. We help your team understand the purpose, timing, and appropriateness of different types of events, and navigate the benefits and challenges in hosting them.

We work with small to mid-sized companies and nonprofit organizations, as well as individual professionals and entrepreneurs seeking specialized consulting.
Each project is different; many of the services we offer can be completed in a comparably brief timeframe. Once we determine the scope of your project, we'll provide you with an estimated completion date as part of your plan proposal.
During the initial interview, your specific needs and goals will be discussed. This is a great time to ask questions about the services we offer; we're always happy to talk through the options and discuss whether a particular service will be value-added for you. The selected services will appear in your plan proposal and will be finalized and agreed upon in your consulting agreement.
Factors, including the size, scheduling, and financing of your project, will determine how quickly we can get started. These factors also help determine how long it will take to complete your project. The process starts with an exploratory meeting to see if we're a good fit, which can typically be scheduled within 10 business days. Contact us to schedule your appointment today.
Cost varies and is determined by a number of factors including project duration and complexity. Some coaching and consulting may be billed hourly, but most services are project-based or contractual. Hourly services are billed payable at the time of service, while project contracts are billed 50% due at contract signing, with balance due as designated in the contract, and ongoing coaching or consulting retainers are paid quarterly in advance. Your cost and billing features may be a combination of any of these, based on your unique service agreement. Hourly services begin at $150 per hour.

For those who just need an outside, expert opinion, infrequent advice, or assistance with a small, specific problem, hourly consulting may be just what you need. No contract, no minimum or maximum number of hours, convenient pay-per-service billing.

Contract and Project-based consulting are recommended for those with ongoing consulting or coaching needs and those with a specific project or projects in mind. Terms and billing are determined during the project's proposal phase or new client onboarding.
