When this helps

Costs are rising faster than revenue, deadlines slip and good people spend their days chasing information. Growth has outpaced the way you work.

What we do

We walk the floor, map your core processes end to end and measure where time and money are lost. Together with your team we redesign the work, pick the right tools and roll out changes step by step.

What you get

Lower costs, faster delivery and a team that knows exactly how things get done, with dashboards that show progress every week.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

The things leadership teams ask us most before we start working together.

Anna Hartley
Still have questions?

Talk to Anna, our founder.

What size of companies do you work with?

Mostly growing companies with 20 to 500 people: founders, CEOs and leadership teams who need senior support without the cost of a big consulting firm.

How is Fida different from a big consulting firm?

You work directly with senior partners from day one. No junior teams, no thick decks, and fees that make sense for a growing company.

How long does a typical engagement last?

Most projects run 6 to 12 weeks. Many clients keep us on afterwards as advisors for a few days a month.

How do you price your work?

Fixed fees agreed upfront for projects, and a simple monthly retainer for ongoing advice. No hourly billing and no surprises.

Do you work with companies outside Chicago?

Yes. About half of our clients are elsewhere in the US and Europe. We work remotely and visit in person when it matters.

What happens on the first call?

We listen. You tell us where you are and what is in the way, and we tell you honestly whether we can help. It is free and there is no obligation.
