What Trees Consulting LLC does

Trees Consulting LLC is a privately held professional services firm headquartered at 2120 Wyandotte Street, Kansas City, Missouri. Founded in 2015 and operating with a team of 1–10, the firm is led by Gregory Dutch Trees, who delivers fractional CFO, COO, and CEO engagements on a part-time, project-based, or interim basis. Target clients include professional services firms, technology companies and startups, and organizations undergoing ESOP transitions or seeking M&A advisory.

The service portfolio consists of three discrete offerings — Fractional CFO (financial strategy, ESOP consulting, budgeting, vendor management, and capital structure support), Fractional COO (operations optimization, scalable infrastructure, and team leadership), and Fractional CEO (strategic planning, turnaround management, and culture building) — sold separately rather than as an integrated technology platform. Trees Consulting does not develop proprietary software, APIs, or AI products; the underlying "platform" is the personal expertise and professional network of its founder.

Revenue is generated through bespoke professional services engagements, with pricing quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct outreach, the firm's website (treesconsulting.com), and Gregory Trees' LinkedIn presence. The firm operates within a single-country, Midwest-US geographic footprint, with no institutional funding, parent company affiliation, or external equity backing identified.

Direct peers

• TGG Accounting (The Growth Group): Fractional CFO and accounting services firm serving small and mid-sized businesses. Direct overlap on fractional CFO engagements with comparable buyer profile to Trees Consulting's professional services and tech segments.
• Growth Operators: Fractional COO and CFO advisory firm focused on growth-stage and mid-market companies. Comparable because it sells the same fractional operations + finance leadership combination that Trees Consulting offers to scaling professional services and technology firms.
• Chief Outsiders: Largest US fractional executive firm providing fractional CMOs, CFOs, COOs, and CEOs to mid-market companies. Direct competitor because it sells the same fractional C-suite model — including fractional CFO and COO services — that Trees Consulting offers to scaling businesses.
• B2B CFO Partners: National network of fractional CFOs serving owner-led and mid-market businesses. Highly comparable because its core offering — outsourced CFO services on a part-time/engagement basis — directly overlaps Trees Consulting's fractional CFO service line.
• Paro: Marketplace connecting businesses with vetted fractional finance, accounting, and strategy talent. Comparable because it serves the same buyer need — on-demand, fractional senior finance and operations expertise — via a different delivery model.
• Belay Solutions: Provides fractional executive support including virtual C-suite and operational leadership for SMBs and growing companies. Comparable in that it sells part-time executive services to organizations that cannot or do not want a full-time C-suite.

Emerging players

• Strategic Coach: Coaching and consulting firm serving entrepreneurs and CEOs with structured strategic guidance. Adjacent peer because it addresses the same fractional strategic-leadership pain point, but via a membership/coaching model rather than retained executive services.

Broad incumbents

• Kforce (Flexible Solutions): Large staffing and consulting firm with fractional/interim finance, operations, and executive placement practices. Comparable as a broad incumbent offering overlapping fractional executive capabilities as part of a much wider portfolio.
