What Evenings & Weekends Consulting does

Evenings & Weekends Consulting is a Toronto-based values-driven consultancy founded in 2022 by Laëtitia Eyssartel and Paul Taylor to serve social purpose organizations, including nonprofits, registered charities, community groups, foundations, and grassroots initiatives across Canada. The firm has grown to a seven-person core team with an extended collaborator network, and has supported 223 social purpose organizations since inception, delivering 80+ in-person and virtual workshops along the way. Its service portfolio spans nine core offerings — Strategic Planning, Facilitation, Leadership & Career Coaching, Recruitment, Equity Audits, People Practices (HR), Fundraising Strategy, Communications, and Research & Evaluation — supplemented by modular Workshops and Fractional Services for interim leadership support.

The firm's underlying methodology centers on equity, anti-oppression, and anti-colonial frameworks delivered through human-centred design, participatory research, and listening-based planning. Differentiated proprietary approaches include comprehensive Equity Audits, custom Listening Campaigns for strategic planning, equity-informed recruitment processes that mitigate bias, and a justice-oriented governance framework for boards. The firm is not a technology company; its competitive position rests on methodology, lived experience of its team, and deep Canadian nonprofit networks rather than software platforms.

Commercially, Evenings & Weekends operates as a privately held professional services firm generating revenue through custom, project-based engagements priced via quote-based scoping, with 15-20% discounts offered to smaller-revenue clients. Customer acquisition is sales-led and relationship-driven — beginning with a free intro meeting and supported by content marketing (blog, monthly newsletter, social media, podcast appearances) and case studies. The firm donates 1% of project revenue to The Circle on Philanthropy to advance Indigenous-led solutions, reinforcing its values-led positioning. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, no external funding has been raised, and ownership remains with the co-founders.
