Acquired Capabilities Northbound Consulting is now operating as part of Kicksaw, offering expanded capabilities while retaining the core team. This indicates potential for cross-sell of Kicksaw services to existing Northbound clients and ongoing access to a broader service portfolio.

Growth Alignment With a combined mission to empower people to live and work well, there is an opportunity to position services around organizational effectiveness, change management, and workforce optimization to resonate with clients seeking workplace transformation.

Mid-Market Focus Reported revenue in the $10M–$25M range and a small team (2–10 employees) suggest Northbound/Kicksaw targets similar mid-market organizations; focus outreach on mid-sized companies needing agile, integrated consulting and scalable solutions.

Tech Ecosystem Existing tech stack includes Squarespace, Salesforce, Google Search Console, and Excel, indicating readiness to engage in digital marketing, CRM-driven sales initiatives, and data-oriented consulting. Proposals can emphasize Salesforce-based CRM optimization and data analytics offerings.

Strategic Partnerships As a partner under Kicksaw, there is potential to leverage co-selling opportunities, leverage mutual client networks, and pitch integrated advisory and implementation services to accelerate client outcomes and expand deal size.
