The firm delivers consulting and engineering services across environmental remediation (LSRP consulting, Phase I/II ESAs, remedial investigation and design), marine and waterfront engineering, land development, water resources (well design, aquifer testing, groundwater modeling), environmental planning (NEPA, CEQR, SEQRA), GIS and digital solutions, and ESG/sustainability. Its service portfolio is built around 37 technical areas and 700+ professionals on the True Environmental platform, supported by extensive multi-state professional licenses and agency prequalifications across New Jersey, New York, Arizona, Louisiana, Illinois, and Texas.

The business model is project-based professional services sold directly to federal, state, and municipal government agencies and to Fortune 500 / utility / industrial private-sector clients. Pricing is quote-based and customized to scope; engagements are typically multi-year, often awarded through RFP processes, and delivered through seven U.S. regional offices. Distribution is via direct enterprise field sales and dedicated inside-sales phone/email channels, supplemented by industry association participation, podcast and media placements, and award-driven PR. Notable clients include the NYC Department of City Planning, NYC Economic Development Corporation, US Maritime Administration, Arizona Department of Water Resources, Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, City of Tucson Water, and Gila River Indian Community.

Since 2023, Matrix has operated as a founding partner of the True Environmental platform backed by Halle Capital, a New York-based growth private equity firm. The platform has executed an active roll-up strategy, adding Sphere 3 Environmental, Great Ecology & Environments, Triton Environmental, Sundance Consultants, and GKY & Associates between mid-2024 and early 2025 to extend capabilities in remediation, ecology, water resources, and consulting. The firm has also opened a flagship Chicago office in 2024, expanded the EHS and renewable energy/offshore wind practices through senior hires, and partnered with Enhesa for EHS regulatory intelligence and Stanford University for microbial remediation research.
