Hello, I'm Kevin.

I help consulting firm founders scale and structure their firms to attract serious buyers. Not just high-paying jobs they happen to own.

With a management consulting background and a no-BS approach, I guide firm owners through the stuff that actually moves the needle: designing your service offerings so they aren’t dependent on you to sell, eliminating operational chaos, and setting you up for the kind of exit that gets you out and gets you paid.

With these outcomes in mind I built Nemawashi Circle, a hybrid of hands-on advisory services and support from other consulting firm founders who are working through the same issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this just another mastermind with vague advice and weekly Zoom calls?

Nemawashi Circle isn’t some fluffy “accountability group” where everyone just shares wins and cheers each other on. This is strategic implementation meets peer-powered insight. You’ll get clear direction on building a firm that can run (and sell) without you—plus frameworks, financials, and support from people who’ve actually done it.

What if I’m not planning to sell my firm anytime soon?

Perfect. That gives us more time to build real value. Nemawashi Circle isn’t about quick flips—it’s about long-term optionality. Whether you want to sell in 1 year or 10, the same structural improvements increase profitability today and make your firm more buyable later. And if you never sell? You still get a firm that’s profitable, scalable, and doesn’t suck the life out of you.

How much time does this take? I’m already overwhelmed.

The whole point is to get you out of the overwhelm. We’re not adding to your plate—we’re helping you scrape off the chaos and stop being the bottleneck. The core commitment is a weekly strategy call, async support in the founder community, and tactical tools you can apply as needed. This is about working on the right things, not working more.

What if I join and it’s not a fit?

Simple—we don’t do long-term lock-ins. If you’re not seeing the value, you can leave anytime. But the reason most founders stay is because they finally feel like they’re not building alone. And because—for the first time in a long time—there’s a clear path to building a business that runs without them.
