What MYR Consulting does

MYR Consulting Pty Ltd is a privately held Australian risk and controls advisory firm founded in 2000, providing consulting services in enterprise risk management, internal control, assurance, professional services risk, and business continuity management. The firm operates a senior-only consulting model, with named senior personnel (Managing Director John McVeigh in Perth; Managing Consultant Europe Warren Beardall in London; Senior Consultants Kelly Grace and Nick de Bueger) leading engagements directly with client teams rather than staffing through junior analysts. Its services are delivered as bespoke advisory engagements, supported by frameworks such as the "three lines of defence" assurance model and a "less is more" risk methodology, addressing challenges including risk framework design, control simplification, professional liability exposure, and crisis management capability. No proprietary software, platform, or AI/ML product is disclosed; the offering is entirely human-led consulting.

The firm's revenue is generated through professional services fees on multi-year engagements — typically spanning up to 10 years per client — across mining and resources, construction, utilities, insurance, and professional services verticals. Distribution is direct-to-enterprise via field sales: the firm is usually invited to present to interested organisations, provides referees on request, and grows primarily through word-of-mouth referrals from a long-term client base. Marketing is minimal, limited to a corporate website (myrconsulting.com) and a LinkedIn presence. The firm maintains a Perth headquarters and a London office, with a US presence via engagement with WSP US Operations since 2017; no subsidiaries, external investment, or acquisition activity is disclosed. Ownership is retained by founders and senior consultants.
