C3 Consulting Group

What C3 Consulting Group does

C3 Consulting Group Inc. is a privately held Canadian professional services firm headquartered in Fredericton, New Brunswick, that delivers IT consulting and business advisory services to public-sector clients across Atlantic Canada and beyond. The firm was founded in 2019 and operates with a team of 11-50 employees, led by President Al Carson (32+ years' experience) and Vice Presidents Claude Richard (IT Consulting Services, 31+ years) and Ann Hale (Management Consulting, 30+ years). Its service portfolio is organized into six practice areas: Making Connections to Solve Complex Problems (stakeholder and program engagement), Strategy Enablement, Architecture (enterprise and solution), Digital Transformation, Project Leadership, and Organizational Design. These offerings are positioned as advisory and delivery engagements rather than packaged software products.

The firm sells primarily to government agencies and public-sector organizations, with stated expertise spanning healthcare, utilities, telecommunications, and broader public-sector modernization initiatives. Its go-to-market is consultative and relationship-driven, relying on senior consultants engaging directly with public-sector buyers as trusted advisors. The firm does not disclose a proprietary technology platform; instead, it deploys its consultants' expertise across enterprise architecture, business analysis, project management, and digital transformation workstreams, advising clients on adoption of modern SaaS platforms and managed services.

Revenue is generated through professional services engagements — project-based or retainer arrangements — at quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed. The company has not raised external funding, has no disclosed parent company, and appears to be management-owned and bootstrapped through organic client growth. Multiple recent senior hires (Stacey White, Regan Riordon, Lisa Totton) and active job postings indicate ongoing capacity expansion. There is no evidence of partnerships, M&A activity, awards, patents, or proprietary technology assets in the public record.
