Boutique Strategy Consulting

Creating Value | Enhancing EBITDA

Thought partnership. System-based. Tech-driven.

Our Mindset

Success. As an entrepreneur or a business owner, that’s why you started this crazy game in the first place. A relentless passion for a good and purposeful life, with the means to provide abundantly for yourself and your family, and to assist and enable others along the way.

No one joined with the ambition of merely breaking-even. The road is too long and the sacrifices too grave for anything less than a transformative outcome, likely manifested in a substantial profit – both now and when you choose to get out, whenever that may be.

Over the years, a business sees differing seasons come and go. Seasons of prosperity and seasons of challenge. Only the strong survive them all.

The leadership team at TMC Associates has weathered the same stormy episodes that you have, perhaps even more. Skills are hatched and grown in adversity. The seasons have their own way of sharpening the axe.

As you run this race – the race to sustained, ever-increasing prosperity, TMC runs with you: cheering, coaching, pushing, pulling. Whatever it takes.

Without counsel, plans fail. But with many advisors they succeed.

Proverbs 15:22 ESV

Our Consulting Services

TMC’s approach is highly non-generic and heavily customized. No two company scenarios are identical, each deserving unique attention. Each of our services are designed to create sustained value in alignment with ownership aspirations and objectives.

Our 100-Day project is our standard consulting program and can attack one or two focus areas as determined by the client.

Additionally, TMC can perform a QuikLook – a 4-day, on-site, low-impact interview to help generate a roadmap for the future. A QuikLook is a great entre into one of our 100-Day projects. QuikLook campaigns provide a third-party, honest snapshot of your company and may serve to reaffirm current agendas or may encourage strategic adjustments.

Operations Assessments and Adjustments

The Cost Reducer: Trusted third-party input in operations, processes, and best practices – driving costs down and EBITDA up.

Talent Assessments and Improvements

The Talent Booster: Today’s HR department is ever-changing and always competing for top people.

It’s which seats need filling, when, and by whom. It’s training and retaining. Rewarding and inspiring.

Corporate Culture

The Winning Team: Team chemistry, trust, and chemistry are essential ingredients for any winning team.  Happy workers do more.

M & A Strategies and Tactics

The Expander: Inorganic growth through M&A. At one point or another, every owner considers the notion of adding another business for a myriad of strategic and financial reasons. Never hurts to think through the pros and cons.

EBITDA

The Enhancer: Our experts work hand-in-hand with your leaders to unearth and zero-in on areas where additional legit profit may be harvested. Strategies for both immediate and long-term plays.

Owners Only

The Owners: It really is lonely at the top. As business owners ourselves, we get that. Your viewpoint as an owner differs from your team, your operators, even your directors. No one sees what you see, needs what you need, does what you do. Our Owners Only plan is designed to bring renewal in whatever form that takes, owner-to-owner. Contact us to learn more.

Our Firm

The TMC team is a small village of strategic thinkers and helpers – made-up of business owners, executives, and board members. Our owners and advisors are well-educated, well-seasoned, and have decades of experience as owners and executives of lower-middle market (LMM) companies. Transcendent lessons have been learned both the easy and hard way. Brick by arduous brick, wisdom is attained through wins and losses, year after year. Like a healthy stock, success is measured over the long-term, rather than the short. A trajectory of gradual growth is a homerun in most any industry.

Many LMM firms are, effectively, Mom-and-Pop entities. And as such, many prefer the detailed attention a boutique consulting firm like TMC can provide.

In collaboration with our strategic partners throughout the globe, TMC has the bandwidth to tackle any issue an owner faces – whether it be a need for capital, legal, marketing, or any other that arises across your enterprise.
