What Public Consulting Group does

Public Consulting Group (PCG) is a privately held management and technology consulting firm headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, founded in 1986. The company serves public-sector clients across education, health, human services, technology consulting, federal marketplace, and resilience/sustainability, with disclosed operations in all 50 U.S. states, 6 Canadian provinces, and the European Union. PCG operates through four primary practice areas (Education, Health, Human Services, Technology Consulting) plus a Federal Marketplace channel and supports roughly 1,000 open contracts at any time. Its client base is composed of federal, state, and local agencies, schools, school districts, and healthcare providers.

PCG monetizes through a hybrid professional-services-plus-software model. Consulting revenue is generated through management and financial consulting, IT professional services, financial services, and managed staffing via the wholly-owned subsidiary Staffing Solutions Organization LLC (SSO). Recurring subscription/license revenue is generated from a portfolio of proprietary products: EDPlan (special education/IEP/case management across 30+ states), SALT (standards alignment), Playbook (professional learning), Title 1 Next (Title I compliance), AlloCAP (cost allocation), AlloTrac (100% time tracking), Careify (home and community-based services oversight), AssuranceCR (MCO oversight), EI Hub (IDEA Part C early intervention), VERA (workforce/virtual employment readiness), Evoke (licensing and regulatory), EceptionistCX (healthcare workflow automation), GovApp Builder (program/fund oversight), and Provisio (Salesforce implementation). Distribution is anchored in the GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract (47QTCA20D004Y) under seven SINs, the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing vehicle, and direct RFP engagement.

Ownership and capital structure are consistent with a founder-led, employee-disciplined private firm: PCG is a Massachusetts LLC, wholly-owned operating subsidiary structure (SSO), no disclosed parent company, private equity, or venture capital backing, and leadership is anchored by founder, President and CEO William S. "Bill" Mosakowski alongside a deep bench of practice-area directors across the four vertical practices and corporate functions including CFO, COO, CTO, CIO, CISO, CPO, and General Counsel. The firm has executed at least seven acquisitions since 2009 (most recently TeachersConnect in 2021), reflecting a sustained inorganic growth posture alongside organic expansion, evidenced by recent product launches (Evoke, EceptionistCX, GovApp Builder) and a newly DOL-approved nationwide apprenticeship program (2025).
