Why Finance Leaders Hire Procurement Consultants
Finance leaders engage procurement consultants when they need measurable cost reduction without adding headcount:
- Growth is outpacing procurement capabilities - Revenue is up 30%, but procurement costs are up 50%
- Board wants immediate cost reduction - You need $2-5M in savings this fiscal year
- Procurement is deprioritized - Your internal team is focused on accounts payable, not strategic sourcing
- High-stakes projects require specialized expertise - A $10M contract renewal or new supplier selection can't afford mistakes
- Transformation needs a leader - You see the opportunity but lack the procurement expertise to build the function
- You need senior expertise throughout - Not junior consultants billing learning time at $300/hour
Sound familiar? You're not alone—and there's a faster path forward.

Who We Work With
Ideal for Growing Companies with $50M-$500M Revenue
Our clients typically have:

- High indirect spend in marketing, IT, professional services, or facilities – Categories where we deliver the highest ROI
- Expanding operations or entering new markets – Growth creates new procurement challenges
- Procurement feeling like a bottleneck rather than an enabler – You know there's opportunity but lack the expertise or bandwidth to capture it
