Bluestone Strategy Group

What Bluestone Strategy Group does

Blue Stone Strategy Partners (formerly Blue Stone Strategy Group) is a Native-owned and managed professional services firm founded in 2007 by Jamie Fullmer, former Chairman of the Yavapai-Apache Nation, and headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. The firm provides advisory and consulting services to Tribal Nations, tribal enterprises, and tribal governments across the United States, and reports having partnered with Tribal Nations on more than 700 projects across hundreds of Tribes since inception. Core service lines include Economic Development, Governance, Healthcare, Housing, Human Resources, Workforce Development, Gaming Services, Development & Construction Oversight, and Two-Day Leadership Work Sessions, with complementary specialized offerings such as TERO Office Technical Assistance and Indigenous Data Sovereignty Services that include predictive impact modeling, Tribal Skills Databases, and custom labor market dashboards.

The firm's business model is professional services consulting: engagements are customized, quote-based, and structured as multi-year contracts with Tribal clients. Go-to-market is enterprise direct consulting, with the firm engaging Tribal Councils, executive leadership, and government bodies on economic diversification, governance modernization, healthcare system optimization, housing infrastructure, and strategic planning initiatives. The firm does not develop proprietary technology products; rather, it packages senior practitioner expertise and proprietary advisory frameworks. Documented engagement outcomes include identification of more than $30 million in annual cost savings through government department and program assessments. Marketing is conducted through content (blog/insights), an email newsletter, social media, industry conferences (NCAIED Reservation Economic Summit, NNAHRA Annual Conference), webinars, and free lead-generation tools such as the Prioritization Toolkit.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Leadership includes CEO Jason Mancini (raised on the Navajo Reservation; previously helped launch Navajo Petroleum and 35+ tribal gas stations), Chairman Jamie Fullmer, Vice Chairman John Mooers (President 2007–2023, previously senior strategy at Microsoft and Oracle), Chief Strategy Officer Joseph S. Nayquonabe Jr. (former CEO of Mille Lacs Corporate Ventures, which managed a $600 million portfolio), and a deep bench of subject matter experts drawn from Tribal government, healthcare, gaming, hospitality, and data analytics.

Direct peers

• Plante Moran: Large accounting and consulting firm with a Tribal Services group advising Tribal governments on strategy, operations, and finance. Competes with Blue Stone for Tribal governance and economic development engagements.
• Eide Bailly: Top-25 US accounting and consulting firm with a Tribal & Sovereign Nations practice that delivers advisory, audit, and consulting services to Tribal governments—overlapping with Blue Stone on governance, economic development, and healthcare advisory.
• Wipfli: Top-20 US accounting and consulting firm with an established Tribal Services practice serving Tribal governments and enterprises on governance, economic development, and operational consulting—closely overlapping Blue Stone's client base and service mix.
• Crowe LLP: Major accounting and consulting firm serving Tribal governments and enterprises with advisory services spanning governance, economic development, and operational improvement—closely comparable to Blue Stone's service breadth.
• BerryDunn: Mid-size accounting and consulting firm with a dedicated Native American Services Group serving Tribal governments across audit, advisory, and operational improvement—directly comparable to Blue Stone's multi-disciplinary Tribal advisory model.
• Moss Adams: Major West Coast-based accounting and consulting firm with a Tribal Practice serving Tribal governments on economic development, governance, and operational consulting—directly competitive with Blue Stone on Tribal engagements.
• Forvis: Top-10 US accounting and consulting firm (formed via BKD + Dixon Hughes Goodman merger) with a Tribal Services practice serving Tribal governments and enterprises on strategy, operations, and compliance.

Broad incumbents

• Guidehouse: Large US consultancy formed from PwC's advisory practice with deep federal and state government clients, including work with Tribal nations. Functions as a broad incumbent in government advisory space rather than a Tribal-specialized competitor.
• Deloitte (Government & Public Services): Global Big Four firm with a substantial Government & Public Services practice that includes work with Tribal and indigenous clients. Operates as a broad incumbent offering overlapping capabilities but not specializing in Tribal advisory at Blue Stone's depth.
• McKinsey & Company (Public Sector Practice): Global management consulting firm with a Public Sector Practice serving government and sovereign clients including work with indigenous communities. Competes on large, complex strategic engagements but at the broad incumbent scale rather than Blue Stone's Tribal niche.
