Grow with a plan your team can run.

MCM is an independent consulting firm for owner-led companies with 20–500 people. We find what’s holding growth back, build the plan with your team, and stay until the numbers move.

30 minutes, free, and you leave with at least one useful idea.

  • Manufacturing
  • Logistics
  • B2B software
  • Healthcare services
  • Retail & distribution

Four practices.
One team that knows your business.

Most growth problems cross departments. We work across strategy, operations, finance and people, so nothing gets fixed in one place and broken in another.

Decide where to grow, and what to stop doing.

We look at your customers, margins and market to find the few moves that matter most, then turn them into a plan with owners, budgets and dates.

  • Market and customer profitability analysis
  • Three-year growth plan with quarterly targets
  • Pricing and offer review

Typical engagement: 6–10 weeks

How an engagement runs

Four stages, one fixed fee per stage. You can stop after any of them and keep everything we’ve built.

  1. Diagnose

    2 weeks

    We interview your leadership, study the numbers and visit the floor. You get a short written diagnosis: what’s working, what isn’t, and what it costs you.

  2. Plan

    3–6 weeks

    In working sessions with your team we choose priorities, set targets and assign owners. The plan fits on a few pages because people need to use it.

  3. Implement

    3–9 months

    We work alongside your managers: weekly check-ins, hands-on help where things stall, and a monthly review of results against the plan.

  4. Hand over

    Final month

    Your team takes full ownership of the dashboards, routines and decisions. We check back in at 90 days to make sure it held.

A small firm, on purpose.

MCM was founded by former operators, not career consultants. We’ve run plants, sales teams and finance departments, so our advice comes with an idea of how it will feel on a Monday morning.

  • Senior people do the work

    The partner who scopes your project stays on it. No hand-off to a junior team after the contract is signed.

  • Fixed fees per stage

    You know the cost before each stage starts. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.

  • We plan to leave

    Every engagement ends with your team running things on their own. If you still need us, we’ve done the job badly.

“They spent the first two weeks listening. By the time they gave us a recommendation, my managers felt it was their own idea — which is exactly why it worked.”

Questions we hear before the first call

Anything else, ask us directly. We answer every message within one business day.

What size of company do you work with?

Owner-led and founder-led companies with roughly 20 to 500 employees. Below that, a full engagement usually costs more than it returns; above it, you likely need a larger firm.

How much does an engagement cost?

The two-week diagnostic is a fixed fee agreed after the intro call. Each later stage is priced separately once we know its scope, so you never commit to more than one stage at a time.

How much of our team’s time will this take?

During the diagnostic, about four hours per leadership team member. During planning and implementation, one weekly working session plus the time your managers would spend on the work anyway.

Do you work with companies outside the US?

Yes. We work remotely across North America and Europe and travel for on-site sessions when the work needs it.

What happens to our data?

We sign an NDA before the diagnostic, keep your files in access-controlled storage, and delete them at the end of the engagement unless you ask us to keep them.

What if we want to stop partway through?

You can stop at the end of any stage. You keep every document, model and dashboard we’ve built, and you only pay for the stages you started.

Tell us where growth is stuck.

We’ll reply within one business day to set up a 30-minute call. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so and point you to someone who is.

  • Free intro call, no preparation needed
  • NDA available before we see any numbers
