The Lyndon Group

What The Lyndon Group does

The Lyndon Group is a Newport Beach, California-based boutique professional services firm founded in 2000 by Ken Jones that provides consulting, implementation, and managed support for corporate expense, travel, and payment programs. Since pivoting away from interim CFO/finance staffing toward SAP Concur-focused expense and spend management consulting in 2011, the firm has built a horizontal practice serving enterprise and mid-market clients across life sciences, technology, healthcare, legal, distribution, food & beverage, and consulting industries. Its service portfolio is organized into three lines — Implement (greenfield and complex SAP Concur and AppZen deployments), Optimize (configuration tuning, policy redesign, data integrity, and back-office process improvement for existing programs), and Support (outsourced program management, site administration, corporate card program management, global regulatory and VAT/FBT compliance, auditing, training, and reporting). Lyndon Group does not build proprietary software; it monetizes deep platform expertise, deploying senior consultants (average 15 years of experience) on project and retainer engagements. The 100% work-from-anywhere model enables global delivery from a Newport Beach mailing address (220 Newport Center Dr. #11-529). The firm is a longstanding certified SAP Concur partner (over a decade) and the first certified AppZen implementation partner in North America, channeling referrals from both platform vendors and monetizing co-marketing through webinars, white papers, podcasts, and conferences (SAP Concur Fusion, AppZen On Tour). It is privately held, founder-owned, with no external funding and no disclosed revenue.
