Certified B Corp acquiring purpose-driven consulting firms while preserving their people, purpose and autonomy

Based in Ottawa, with team members across Canada and the United States, we are a purpose-driven consultancy working in strategic planning, people and culture, and marketing. We are looking to acquire firms to help scale and operationalize good. Most people hear “M&A” and think consolidation, culture loss and extraction. That is a choice somebody made, not a law of physics. We want to prove there is another way. Our vision is a group of firms that can keep their own names, purposes and practices while sharing resources, capabilities and what they learn with one another. Each acquisition is funded through the profits the firm generates and grows. No bank debt. No fund with a clock on it. No head office dictating how you run your business. This may appeal to owners approaching retirement without a successor, leaders tired of going it alone, or firms whose clients need capabilities they cannot provide independently. We are also working toward an employee ownership model.
