TAMS Group

What TAMS Group does

TAMS Group is a US-based management consulting firm headquartered in Independence, Ohio (Cleveland area), founded in 2002 by Dan Simovic (originally as Strategic Talent Consulting Inc.) and rebranded to TAMS Group in October 2013 following its acquisition of The Human Resources Department, Inc. The firm delivers HR and organizational consulting across three integrated service lines: Consulting (organizational design, talent assessment, performance management, compensation benchmarking, team optimization), Compliance (DOL/OFCCP audit support, EEO-1 reporting, I-9 audits, FLSA assessments, AAP preparation, compliance training), and Coaching (confidential executive coaching, leadership development, change management, behavioral assessments). Its client base is horizontal — spanning manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, financial services, and public administration — with named enterprise logos including FedEx, Parker-Hannifin, Sifco, Georgia-Pacific, Lake Health, Great Lakes Financing, and BBI.

The business is a pure professional-services model: revenue is generated through project-based consulting fees, retainer arrangements, and hourly engagements, with quote-based pricing rather than disclosed fee schedules. Distribution is consultative and direct, supported by a top-of-funnel content engine (the TAMS Insights blog on compliance and leadership topics) and a post-sale TAMS Compliance Center client portal that delivers deadlines, templates, and federal record-retention resources. The firm operates as a boutique of 11-50 employees with no proprietary software platform; technology adoption is lightweight (HubSpot meeting scheduling for booking consultations, a Google Sites-hosted customer portal). There are no patents, no API offerings, no disclosed integrations, and no AI/ML capabilities in the offering.

In February 2026, TAMS was acquired by SRG Global Limited, which cited TAMS as a contributor to record EBITDA in its FY '26 half-year results. The firm continues to operate as a focused HR consulting practice within the SRG Global portfolio, with its founder and senior partners (Dan Simovic, Sandy Turba, Ginny Wilczak) remaining in leadership.
