PELHAM, N.Y., Sept. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Companies are not simply the products and services they make or strategies, goals and policies they use to get there. fassforward Consulting Group, a small New York based business consulting firm, appreciates this more than most. Since they first opened their doors nine years ago, founders Rose Fass and Gavin McMahon have strived to build a better consultancy model and keep focus where it has always belonged — with people. This year, the prestigious entrepreneurial magazine, Inc., has recognized this, and fassforward's tremendous growth, by including it in their top 500/5000 list.

Ranked #267 for companies offering Business Products and Services and #2945 for private businesses overall, fassforward Consulting Group has quickly made its mark and an indelibly positive impact on the businesses it serves. "To be in increasing demand and build a model that allows us to grow and successfully meet this demand has been no small feat, particularly in this economic environment — being recognized by Inc. Magazine is validation that we got it right," Fass comments.
Like the companies that hire them, fassforward has ridden the rollercoaster economic climate, watching good ideas, practices and people get pushed to the side for the sake of ease and instant bottom line boosts. Coming from Fortune 500 backgrounds themselves, Fass and McMahon knew that one-size-fits-all approaches did more harm than good. Their approach is effective, but never heavy-handed. "We see people's value, respect the knowledge and experience they bring to the table and take on their issues as our own, all the while making certain any endeavor is compatible with company culture and the context we find ourselves in," Fass adds.
This approach has seen fassforward grow year after year and made it the go-to consultancy for several of the Fortune 500's top players during their most transformative periods. Over the past five years, fassforward has attracted 21 talented individuals in consulting, coaching and staff roles, all of whom embrace the three core values and single guiding principle Fass and McMahon established in the beginning: be choosey, build a reputation, and touch a client every day. "Never compromise on the deliverable."
Through customized strategy and leadership workshops, compelling executive presentations and well-focused changes, fassforward has been an integral part in helping their clients consistently transform and achieve growth.
fassforward Consulting Group will be honored at the 2010 Inc. 500 conference in Washington DC in October.
