A&A Business Consulting

What A&A Business Consulting does

A&A Business Consulting is a privately held manufacturing operations advisory firm based in Tampa, Florida, founded in 2017. The firm serves mid-market manufacturers with revenues between $100 million and $1 billion, helping them identify and recover hidden capacity losses of 15-30% through hands-on, floor-level consulting engagements. Its core intellectual property is the proprietary Lost Capacity Model, a structured framework that decomposes capacity losses into planning loss (before the shift), execution loss (during the shift), and recovered capacity, providing a quantitative basis for prioritizing operational improvements.

The firm delivers its service through a fixed four-step engagement: a no-cost 2-hour site visit to observe operations, a 2-3 week assessment producing a quantified Lost Capacity Assessment, a 4-6 month implementation of governance systems and execution tools, and ongoing verification of sustained results. Service deliverables include a Lost Capacity Assessment, a Recovery Roadmap, a Governance System (KPI dashboards and supervisor cadences), and Verified Results documentation. The firm guarantees a minimum 3:1 return on investment, with an open-ended commitment to continue working until measurable results are achieved if the threshold is not met.

Revenue is generated through custom-quoted professional services fees tied to each multi-month engagement, with a reported billing cadence of multi-year contracts. The go-to-market motion is direct field sales targeting mid-market manufacturers, with the free site visit serving as the primary lead conversion mechanism. The firm markets through a content-driven website featuring detailed case studies with quantified outcomes, and operates exclusively in the United States with no disclosed channel partners. The leadership team comprises Eric Mathews (Founder & Managing Partner, ~20 years consulting experience), Jeff Curry (VP of Sales & Operations, 31+ years operations leadership), and Sudhi Bangalore (CTO & Global VP, formerly CTO of Global Operations at Stanley Black & Decker). The company has 1-10 employees, no disclosed funding, no M&A activity, and no disclosed revenue.
