Strategy & Management Consulting
Board-level thinking for owner-run companies that have no strategy department. Analysis, options, numbers, and a clear recommendation.
We answer the questions owners actually face. Should I enter this market, raise prices, open a second location, buy that competitor, or shut a product line down. Each engagement ends in a written recommendation you can act on, with the reasoning and the numbers attached, and with the depth of a large-firm study at a price a Mittelstand budget carries.
What this covers
Operations & process improvement
Finding and removing the cost and time leaks in daily operations, from quotation to invoicing, with measurable before-and-after numbers.

Every engagement is led personally by the founder, with one accountable senior contact from the first call to the final deliverable. Where the scope demands depth, senior specialists from a network built across the Rhein-Main finance and technology scene join the work, and where regulation requires certified expertise, accredited partners carry it out.
Work is quoted as a fixed price with a defined scope before it starts. Projects in this practice typically run €3,500 to €40,000, quoted as a fixed price after a scoping call.
Every fixed-price engagement carries our 100% money-back guarantee: full refund on request within 14 days of delivery, no reason required. How the guarantee works →
Our consulting and software work is covered by professional indemnity and business liability insurance (Markel Insurance SE, arranged through exali). Certificate of insurance on request.
