What Close Reach does

Close Reach Consulting is a privately held B2B management consulting firm headquartered in Orlando, Florida with a secondary office in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded in 2018 by Dan E. King, the firm targets business owners, CEOs, executive leadership, and boards of mid-market and enterprise companies, primarily in the Southeast United States. Its purpose is to help leadership teams close the gap between strategic intent and execution, with stated benchmarks indicating most companies achieve only 60% of strategic intent.

The firm's core offering is the Growth Acceleration System (GAS), a proprietary methodology that interlocks vision, strategy, growth roadmaps, and an execution framework into a single system. This is operationalized through five interconnected services: Business Transformation, Strategic Planning and Execution, Operational Process Improvement, and Sales Pipeline Expansion. The Organizational Prowess Scorecard is a proprietary assessment tool that numerically benchmarks organizational capabilities and serves as the diagnostic entry point into engagements. The methodology is codified in Dan E. King's published book, 'The Scorecard Solution: Measure What Matters and Drive Sustainable Growth' (AMACOM), which also functions as a thought-leadership marketing asset.

The business model is a quote-based professional services model with customized engagement structures; no standardized pricing is publicly disclosed. Client acquisition runs through direct advisory relationships, founder-led referrals, and content marketing (blog, newsletter, speaking engagements), with no third-party channel intermediaries. The firm is bootstrapped and founder-owned, with no disclosed venture or institutional capital, and the leadership team combines Fortune 50 executive experience with prior exposure to high-growth mid-market enterprises.

Broad incumbents

• Insperity: Provider of HR, payroll, and organizational performance services to SMBs and mid-market employers. While broader in scope, it competes with elements of Close Reach's organizational performance and process improvement offerings.
• Bain & Company: Global strategy and management consulting firm with adjacent practices in organizational design and performance. Represents the broader consulting alternative that mid-market CEOs may consider alongside a firm like Close Reach.
• McKinsey & Company: Global management consulting incumbent offering strategy and organizational performance services. While serving much larger enterprise clients than Close Reach, it competes for executive mindshare and is an alternative for growth strategy work at the top end of the mid-market.
