Acquisition Background The Novak Consulting Group is now part of Raftelis, expanding Raftelis’ offerings into local government functions such as police, fire, recreation, and transportation. This history suggests potential cross-sell opportunities for Raftelis’ broader financial modeling, rate studies, and management consulting services to municipal clients familiar with TNC’s legacy work.

Municipal Focus Current and past clients include city governments (Santa Clara, Lynchburg) and partnerships in water and public sector initiatives, indicating a strong foothold in local government consulting. Sales teams should target municipal procurement channels and advisory services related to governance, strategic planning, and executive search for public sector roles.

Service Expansion With three practice areas—Executive Search, Strategic Planning, and Organizational Assessments—the firm is positioned to upsell broader organizational improvement projects, leadership recruitment, and change management services to existing Raftelis clients and prospective government agencies seeking integrated solutions.

Technical Footprint Tech stack includes widely used enterprise tools (Microsoft SQL Server, Access, PowerPoint, Office) and web resources (jsDelivr, HTML, Bootstrap). This alignment supports data-driven assessments and client-ready deliverables, suggesting opportunities to offer customized analytics, dashboards, and rate studies using familiar platforms.

Growth & Partners Recent news mentions new client wins and partnerships (US Water Alliance, Santa Clara engagement, crime chief search), signaling ongoing growth and collaboration with allied public sector organizations. This environment presents opportunities for expanded collaborations, joint bids, and multi-agency programs that leverage Raftelis’ financial expertise and consultancy strengths.
