PMA - Project Management Advisory

What PMA - Project Management Advisory does

PMA LLC is a Yerevan, Armenia-based boutique professional services firm (PMA - Project Management Advisory) that delivers end-to-end project management and business advisory services to small and medium enterprises, startups, investors, and institutional clients. Founded in 2011 and led by Managing Partner Davit Iskandaryan (PHD, PMP), the firm operates with a 5-person team and offers nine service lines: project management advisory, project finance advisory, project documentation, management advisory, business planning, financial modeling, project evaluation, startup support, and project management training. Services span the full project lifecycle from initiation through closing and evaluation, and are delivered via project-based engagements rather than productized SaaS or technology platforms.

The firm's core technology is its human expertise and methodology rather than any software platform: there is no API, no proprietary product, no AI/ML capabilities, and no SaaS offering. PMA's go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven, with named customers spanning agricultural machinery (CHINVAN LLC), technology startups (Robin the Robot), logistics (a Los Angeles-based startup), hospitality (a cottage resort project), wholesale trading, and small-scale farming. Distribution is primarily direct advisory engagements in Armenia, supplemented by thought-leadership content (blog and LinkedIn), industry workshops (Summer School with the National Center of Innovation and Entrepreneurship), and university training partnerships (Yerevan State University Ijevan Branch). The firm is privately held, bootstrapped, with no institutional investors and no disclosed ownership structure beyond the founder.

Revenue mechanics are project-based and quote-driven with no publicly disclosed pricing. The firm has executed engagements in Armenia (Yerevan and multiple regional markets — Lori, Kotayk, Syunik, Tavush, Aragatsotn) and internationally (Los Angeles and Moscow). No revenue figures, funding history, M&A activity, or product launches are disclosed in the available data.

Overlaps with PMA in business planning, financial modeling, and management advisory work, but operates at vastly larger scale across all major industries.
• Deloitte Consulting: One of the Big 4 advisory firms with large PMO, infrastructure advisory, and financial consulting practices that compete directly with PMA's project management and project finance advisory offerings.
