Our Story

Inside Consulting was founded in 2005 by veterans of McKinsey and the U.S. military. We are a boutique management consultancy built around one discipline: reducing what mid-market and PE-backed companies spend with outside vendors. Our partners work every engagement directly — no junior staff, no offshore teams. We charge performance-based fees and deliver verified EBITDA improvement across SaaS, cloud, healthcare, and industrial spend categories. We do the work. You keep the savings.

What Sets Us Apart

We do the work. You keep the savings.

Most procurement consultants deliver a report and leave. Inside Consulting leads every vendor negotiation directly, from spend analysis through contract execution. Our partners — not junior staff — run each engagement. Performance-based fee options mean our incentives are aligned with yours: if we d

Firm staffed by former McKinsey & BCG consultants

Inside Consulting's partners come from McKinsey, BCG, and careers as naval officers and operators. We bring institutional rigor to mid-market companies that can't justify a Big Four retainer and don't need one. Our clients get senior attention on every engagement, no bait-and-switch to an associate.

24% Average Savings. 4.3x Client ROI.

Inside Consulting has delivered a 24% weighted average cost reduction and 4.3x composite client ROI across 60+ spend categories — SaaS, cloud, telecom, healthcare, and corporate indirect. We verify that savings appear on your P&L, not just in a slide deck.

Commonly Asked Questions

Inside Consulting intentionally limits the number of active engagements to ensure every client receives direct partner attention. We do not staff engagements with junior consultants or offshore teams. Each engagement is led by a senior partner from spend discovery through vendor negotiation and savings verification. This model is a deliberate choice: our performance-based fee structures only work if we go deep, move fast, and deliver verifiable results. Clients typically describe the experience as handing the problem to Inside Consulting and getting savings back.

Inside Consulting is built to embed, not advise. Most consulting firms deliver a report and leave. We do the work — conducting the analysis, leading vendor negotiations, and verifying that savings appear on the P&L. Clients are not managing a process or implementing recommendations. They are handing a cost problem to Inside Consulting and getting verified results back. We are designed to require minimal client time. Initial spend data collection typically requires 4 to 8 hours from a finance or accounting contact. After that, we operate independently across vendor interactions, category analysis, and commercial negotiations. Clients stay informed through regular savings reporting and milestone updates, but they are not in the room for negotiations and do not manage the engagement day to day. This model works because our fee structures are tied to outcomes. When our compensation is linked to realized savings, the incentive to go deep, move fast, and execute — rather than present — is built in. Our clients are typically CFOs, PE operating partners, and CEOs who have an outside spend problem they want solved without adding it to their team's plate.

Inside Consulting has delivered a 24% weighted average cost reduction and 4.3x composite client ROI across engagements spanning more than two decades. We have completed procurement cost reduction work in over 265 client engagements across technology, healthcare, industrials, and other sectors. We retain approximately 85% of incumbent vendors, which means most savings come from renegotiating existing relationships rather than switching suppliers. This matters because it keeps operations stable and preserves vendor relationships clients value while still capturing the cost reductions their purchasing power should command. Our at-risk and performance-based fee structures mean we only take engagements we believe we can win. That self-selection is part of why our track record is consistent. We do not pursue engagements where the spend base is too thin, the contract timing is wrong, or the leverage isn't there. When we take an engagement, we expect to deliver. First savings typically appear within 90 days of engagement start. Full program savings are realized over 6 to 12 months, depending on the scope and number of categories in play.

Inside Consulting offers flexible fee structures, including retainer-based, performance-based, and hybrid models. Under a performance-based or at-risk structure, our compensation is tied directly to verified, realized savings rather than projected estimates. We work with the client upfront to define a savings baseline and measurement methodology, and our fees are then linked to what we actually deliver. Hybrid models (partial retainer, partial at-risk) work well for clients who need billing predictability while still aligning our incentives with results. We do not charge the same regardless of outcome.

Inside Consulting works with mid-market and private equity-backed companies with revenues between $75 million and $1 billion. Our clients span technology, healthcare, industrials, and other sectors. Many are PE-backed companies on value creation timelines, though we also work with founder-led and privately held businesses. The common thread is outside spend complexity: multiple vendor relationships, fragmented contracts, and no dedicated procurement function to manage them systematically. We also work at the portfolio level for PE firms seeking to capture procurement synergies across multiple holdings.
