What KGV Consulting Corp. does

KGV Consulting Corp. is a privately-held, remote-first US consulting firm operating six practice areas under one cross-staffed team: Business Advisory, Software Development, Custom Hosting, Bookkeeping, Marine Industry Services, and Custom IT Solutions. It serves technology companies, marine and maritime operators, growing firms needing fractional CTO support, small-to-mid-market businesses requiring recurring bookkeeping, and cross-industry enterprises pursuing IT modernization. Delivery is constrained to senior practitioners based in the US and EU with no offshore handoffs, structured around fixed-scope engagements of 4-24 weeks with published budget tiers from under $5,000 to $100,000+.

The underlying technology stack is open-source-first and modern, with no proprietary lock-in by design. Within the marine practice, the firm holds NMEA 2000 certified networking expertise and supports IoT systems development. Adjacent to advisory and engineering services, the company operates two productized lines: managed hosting (cloud, VPS, compliance) through cirrusserv.com, and marine electronics and hardware distribution (B&G, Simrad, Garmin, Furuno, Raymarine) through nauticalsupplyoutlet.com. Featured engagements include Helm (maritime operations SaaS), Atlas (multi-tenant fintech bookkeeping application), Forge (custom marine IoT manufacturing R&D), and Lighthouse (cloud hosting and DevOps infrastructure). Delivery is governed by a proprietary "KGV Method" — a four-phase framework (Discovery, Architecture, Build, Launch & Operate) with two-week sprints and weekly demos.

Revenue is generated through three streams: professional services fees (project-based software development, advisory, IT solutions, and monthly-cycle bookkeeping), hardware sales via the marine storefront, and managed hosting subscriptions. Go-to-market is direct and senior-led, with primary acquisition through the website contact form, a 24-hour response window, and a senior-led scoping assessment before kickoff. Top-of-funnel awareness is built through organic content on Medium, X, and Instagram. The firm claims 42+ engagements shipped across SaaS, marine, finance, automotive, legal, construction, and education, with stated customer outcomes of 84% on-budget delivery, 76% first-quarter campaign lift, and 62% time-to-insight reduction. Financial disclosures — revenue, headcount, founding date, and external funding — are absent from public sources.
