When this helps

You have grown quickly, the opportunities keep coming and the team is pulling in different directions. We help you decide where to play, how to win and, just as importantly, what to stop doing.

What we do

We start with interviews, customer research and a hard look at your numbers. Then we run focused workshops with your leadership team to agree on a small number of bets, and turn them into a plan with owners, milestones and budgets.

What you get

A strategy your team can explain in two minutes, a clear set of priorities for the year and a rhythm for reviewing progress every quarter.

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.
