About FM

A Different Kind of Consultancy

We built FM on a simple premise: the traditional consultancy model is running out of time.

What We Believe

The equation has changed.

For decades, consultancies have operated on the same formula: hire smart people, bill them by the hour, grow by adding headcount. It worked because knowledge work required human effort at every step.

That equation has changed.

AI has collapsed the cost of routine knowledge work to nearly zero. The reading, the summarizing, the status reports, the "let me pull that together for you" - all of it can now happen in seconds. The firms that understand this will operate at a fundamentally different scale than those still selling hours.

We think the work of a consultancy breaks into two categories: the work of knowing and the work of deciding.

The work of knowing - remembering context, noticing patterns, synthesizing information, surfacing insights - is essential, but it's no longer scarce. AI handles it beautifully.

The work of deciding - judgment, relationships, creativity, accountability - remains deeply human. It's choosing the right strategy, navigating complexity, making calls when data is incomplete, and standing behind recommendations.

We built FM to systematize the first category completely, so our people can focus entirely on the second.

How We Operate

An AI-first consultancy. Not a traditional firm with AI bolted on.

Our custom built operating system (FM OS) handles the work of knowing automatically, so our team focuses on the work that matters.

We arrive prepared.

Our systems assemble the relevant context, the history, the open questions before every conversation. We're not spending the first fifteen minutes getting up to speed.

Nothing falls through cracks.

When a conversation ends, the follow-up is already in motion. Notes captured. Action items tracked. The system doesn't forget.

We move fast.

Proposals go out while the conversation is fresh. Deliverables arrive while they're still relevant. We've eliminated the busywork that slows traditional firms down.

Senior attention throughout.

We don't staff projects with junior associates and layer management on top. Our model doesn't require it. You work directly with the people making decisions.

This isn't magic. It's architecture. We've built the infrastructure that lets a small, focused team deliver with the consistency and coverage of a much larger one. And, yes, it feels like magic.

Why We Built This

A new firm built from the ground up on different assumptions.

We're not a big firm trying to adapt to a changing world.

Small by design.

Senior, focused, and directly accountable.

Systematized completely.

Our operations run on the same AI-first principles we help clients implement.

Invested in outcomes.

Our success is measured by results, not hours billed.

Our delivery is our proof of concept. The way we serve you is a preview of what your own operation could become.

Our Team

Leaders who helped architect the digital revolution.

Our team has spent decades building software for organizations of all sizes - from startups to global enterprises. We've led engineering teams, launched platforms, and navigated complex transformations across nearly every industry. We started FM because we believe the way consultancies operate is about to change dramatically, and we wanted to build the firm we'd want to hire. Click on a team member to learn more.
