Growth consultant
What a growth consultant does for a founder-led B2B company, and when consulting is the wrong shape.
A growth consultant helps a company decide what is limiting growth and what should happen next. The company keeps operational ownership. The consultant does not become the weekly manager of the function unless that is a separate agreement.
On this site, growth consultant, growth strategy consultant, and growth consultancy mean that same practice. The two formats are a fixed growth diagnostic and ongoing advisory. Both are described on the business growth consulting page.
When a consultant is the wrong hire
Consulting fails when nobody inside the company can hold the work after the meeting. Advice then sits beside the problem. That situation needs a fractional chief growth officer, not another recommendation.
Steven consults with founder-led B2B companies in the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand. City pages explain how that works remotely, including London and New York. He is not a general small-business coach, and he is not a fractional CFO.
