What Forsyte does

Forsyte Von Buren, Inc., operating as Forsyte & Company, is a member-owned community-based management consulting firm incorporated in New Hampshire and headquartered in Hudson, NH (with a second listed address in Nashua, NH). Founded in 2014 on the back of an immigrant-services practice that began in 2007, the firm positions itself as an 'asset strategist corporation' and global portfolio management consultancy. Its core offering comprises General Consulting Services and Corporate Project Management, supported by an undisclosed 'Platform' that surfaces financial planning tools — written financial plans, project financial plans, risk planning, accumulation strategies, a 'bucket approach', and 'fill buckets' execution. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the firm operates on a fee-based, non-commission model tailored to individual client circumstances.

The company serves three horizontal customer segments — individuals and consumers, small businesses, and companies/enterprises — with a secondary persona focus on immigrants seeking employment and economic stability in the United States. Its go-to-market is sales-led: clients request consultations directly through the website, and lead generation is amplified by partnerships with faith-based organizations and nonprofits (Believers Love World, Christ Embassy Church, Westford Bible Church, iFellowship, Upper Room Discourse, Warfare Not Welfare) and by the wholly-owned non-profit Forsyte Foundation (established June 2016), which runs mentorship 'Pathways' programs.

Beyond consulting, Forsyte operates five consumer-facing subsidiary channels: Fharah's Kitchen (online African restaurant delivering across the US), Comfy Depot (African supermarket), SoftCharms (fashion boutique and photography studio), iPorscher (ride-sharing and car rental with airport pickup/dropoff), and iPLAZA Prints (print, copy, scan, fax, design, and proofreading). Representative offices are listed in Boston, Lowell, and Westford (MA) in the US, plus Durham, UK and Lagos, Nigeria, supporting the firm's claim of a global footprint, though the named team of four (Website Administrator, Call Center Administrator, Sales Director, Marketing Director) indicates a micro-scale operation with no disclosed revenue, funding, patents, certifications, or AI/ML capabilities.
