Monaco Consulting Group

What Monaco Consulting Group does

Monaco Consulting Group LLC is a boutique professional services firm headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina, that provides consulting and transformation services to accounting, internal audit, and IT organizations. The firm was originally founded in 2009 as ExPro Resources by Mark Jessup and rebranded to its current name in 2020 following the November 2019 addition of Jim Culbreth as a partner. Services span four categories: Internal Audit and Compliance Services (co-sourcing, outsourcing, financial and operational audits, SOX compliance, risk assessments, audit transformation); Accounting and Financial Reporting Services (co-sourcing/outsourcing of accounting positions, finance process transformation, governance and risk assessments); Technology Services (IT audits, cybersecurity assessments, SOX ITGC, pre/post implementation reviews, disaster recovery); and Other Advisory Services (quality assurance reviews, project management, fraud investigations).

The firm operates an asset-light delivery model, combining a small core team (1-10 employees) with a network of independent contractors and specialty consulting firms engaged under master service agreements. Consultants are required to hold a minimum of 5+ years of professional experience and certifications such as CPA, CIA, CFE, and CISA, with prior executive or large-firm consulting backgrounds. Monaco explicitly positions itself as offering large-firm quality at lower rate points, and distributes thought leadership through a company blog and regional earned media (Triangle Business Journal, Charlotte Business Journal).

Revenue is generated through professional services billing on quote-based engagements tailored to individual client needs, with no published rate card. Named enterprise clients include NN Inc. (manufacturing), Guilford Technical Community College (education), and Martin Marietta (manufacturing/materials), with multi-year engagements of 7-10 years cited in testimonials. The firm serves clients across the Southeast US, primarily through direct client engagement and relationship-based business development.
