MCN Consulting is the team founders and operators call when growth outran the operating model. We install the weekly cadence, the leadership team rhythm and the function-by-function discipline that growth-stage Florida and Southeast businesses need before the next jump in scale.
Each service is a discipline, not a deck. We install the rhythm, prove it runs, then hand it to your team to own.
The weekly, monthly and quarterly rhythm that turns a leadership team into a leadership team. We install the weekly 1:1 + monthly performance cadence on our partner platform HeyRamp, so the rhythm survives long after we walk out the door.
The honest conversation about who's in the right seat, who's stretched, and who's quietly blocking the next stage. We coach the team, name the issues, and re-shape the leadership group around what growth actually needs from it.
Sales, ops, finance, talent - one at a time. We walk through each function with the owner, surface the friction, and rebuild the discipline so the function runs at the size you are now, not the size you were two years ago.
The work most founders do alone: stepping out of the day-to-day, delegating real authority, building the rhythm that lets the business run without you in every meeting. One-to-one work alongside the full engagement.
Two to three weeks. We talk to the people, look at the numbers, and come back with an honest read on what is - and is not - holding the business back. Almost every engagement begins here.
Most clients start with the diagnostic and let it tell us what the right shape is.
Short, focused engagement. Leadership interviews, P&L walk-through, cadence audit. Ends with a one-hour read-out and a recommendation on what to do next - including the option to do nothing.
The main body of work. Weekly on-site or video cadence with leadership, function-by-function tightening, and the cadence platform live by the end. Fixed scope, fixed fee, fixed end date.
After the install, a light-touch quarterly review with a senior MCN consultant. Designed to keep the cadence honest as the business changes shape, not to keep us in your meetings forever.
Each stage has a deliverable and a hand-off. By the end, your leadership team owns the cadence and we are on call, not in the room.
Two to three weeks of leadership interviews, numbers review, and cadence audit. We come back with an honest read on what's really going on.
We agree the scope of the install: which functions, which cadences, which leadership work. Fixed fee, fixed end date, named outcomes.
90 to 180 days. Weekly cadence with the leadership team, function-by-function tightening, the rhythm live on the platform.
Your team runs the cadence without us. We move to quarterly check-ins, on call when senior advisory genuinely helps.
Different industries, different stories, same underlying problem: a business whose operating model is one growth stage behind where the revenue already is.
$5M to $50M businesses that have grown past the start-up phase but are now running on the same systems, meetings and habits as when they were a third of the size. The team is good, the cadence is broken.
Founder-run services, distribution and professional firms where the owner is still the operating system. We rebuild the rhythm so the founder can step back without the business stalling.
$50M-$150M services businesses - professional services, specialty trades, multi-location operators - where leadership team performance is now the constraint, not market demand.
The questions founders, owners and CEOs ask before briefing MCN on an engagement.
MCN works with growth-stage and lower mid-market companies, typically between $5M and $150M in revenue. Most clients are founder-led or owner-led services, distribution, professional services, and specialty trade businesses that have grown faster than their operating model can support.
MCN is based in Orlando, Florida. We work in person across Florida and the wider Southeast - Georgia, Alabama, the Carolinas and Tennessee - and remote with companies anywhere in the United States. On-site cadence weeks are part of most engagements regardless of where the client sits.
It means installing the routines, rhythms and decision rights that make a leadership team function as a leadership team. Weekly 1:1s that surface real issues, a monthly cadence that holds people to commitments, a quarterly planning rhythm that turns strategy into work, and the function-by-function tightening that gets margin, throughput and accountability back to where they should be at your size.
Most clients start with a 2-3 week diagnostic to scope the actual problem. From there, the install phase runs 90 to 180 days depending on scope, followed by an embedded coaching phase of 3-6 months where the cadence becomes muscle memory. After that, most relationships convert to a light-touch quarterly review.
Three differences. First, senior consultants only - the person who scopes your engagement runs it. No juniors, no offshore desk. Second, we specialise in the founder-to-operator transition that growth-stage businesses face - that's the work, not generic strategy decks. Third, we don't leave a binder behind; we leave a running cadence and a leadership team that owns it.
