      Starfish helped us create our new brand, including a new logo, brand identity and brand guidelines as well as a new company culture (vision, mission, values, and behaviors). Tenet undertook a thorough discovery process involving quantitative and qualitative research, data gathering, a competitive analysis, interviews of internal and external stakeholders, and surveys, which informed the creative process.

      I have hired Thinkhaus for multiple projects across two companies over the past eight years, including branding, new product development, packaging, and strategic initiatives. Their team is exceptional, consistently bringing top-tier talent to every engagement. They have always delivered on time, on budget, and above expectations. I highly recommend Thinkhaus to any organization seeking a strategic and results-driven partner.

      B2B Review from Jerry Koch

      Top-Tier Consulting Expertise | Trusted Partner Commitment | World-Class Results Without the Big-Firm Layers. ThinkHaus partnered with us from brand inception through a major strategic evolution three years later. Their ability to help define who we were, shape our brand identity, and articulate a distinctive brand voice by harnessing the collective knowledge of our leadership team, combined with their own deep expertise, was a critical factor in helping us quickly establish a foothold in market. The quality of their work was outstanding. Just as important, ThinkHaus helped us sort out our early strategic evolution as the business matured. Their thoughtful approach demonstrated a rare combination of strategic coaching, branding expertise, business acumen, and the ability to align leadership teams around a common vision. What truly sets ThinkHaus apart is their ability to deliver the caliber of insight, facilitation, and strategic guidance typically associated with top-tier consulting firms while maintaining the responsiveness, accessibility, and personal commitment of a trusted partner. You work directly with experienced professionals who are deeply invested in your success, not layers of consultants. That combination is rare and remarkably effective. Top-tier expertise. Trusted partnership. Outstanding results.

      B2B Review from Angie Holt

      Thinkhaus has been a trusted partner to us for many years, helping us (re)build the entire sales & marketing strategy of our well-established business, to support a significant business redirection. As a small business, they have supported a cost-conscious strategy that has allowed us to prioritize the most impactful strategies on a budget over time. Thinkhaus has helped implement many different elements over time - brand strategy, new name & logo, new imagery, a new website, SEO, AI search visibility and various marketing support materials for special projects such as trade shows and promotional events. Together, these elements have helped us to stand out from our competitors to secure many new customers over the years.

      Web Development Review from Rostislav (Rusty) Klibaner

      We can't possibly recommend Use All Five enough! Our office came to the Use All Five team wishing to redesign and overhaul our website, which greatly needed functional and structural upgrades. From the get-go, Kara, Michelle, Levi, and their whole team were kind, supportive, and communicative with all of our questions and concerns. Moreover, they were endlessly inventive with their ideas, recommendations, and overall approach (not to mention always willing to be flexible and work within our budget). They took in all of our feedback and needs, and then masterfully incorporated our requests into a product that went beyond our greatest expectations. The resulting website was nothing short of amazing: featuring dynamic, wonderful colors, ease of navigation, and accessibility for all users. We're so lucky to have worked with Use All Five, and cannot wait to collaborate with them again in the future!

      Digital Services Review from Kerrie Mitchell

      We worked with Use All Five on the redesign of our flagship site. It was an incredibly complex project and website with a large number of stakeholders, but UA5 managed it all with ease, grace, organization, and good humor. The site they created for us was gorgeous, and we continue to work with them on ongoing maintenance. I was incredibly thankful to have them as partner on this undertaking and really couldn't have imagined doing it without them. Would highly recommend their services.

      eCommerce Development Review from Anonymous

      Our experience with Use All Five on our e-commerce project was outstanding from start to finish. They built us a custom Shopify-based solution that perfectly captured our brand aesthetic while delivering powerful functionality. The team's technical expertise and creative vision resulted in a website that not only looks incredible but also drives conversions. Since launch, we've seen a substantial boost in online sales and received numerous compliments from customers about the user experience. Use All Five proved to be reliable, innovative, and genuinely invested in our success. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.

Frequently Asked Questions about Consulting Firms

What services do these types of agencies typically offer in the US?

US management consulting firms provide a comprehensive range of services designed to improve organizational performance across multiple dimensions.

Core competencies include: 

  • Business strategy: Developing long-term competitive positioning, market expansion plans, and corporate growth initiatives
  • Management consulting: Advising on organizational structure, leadership development, and governance frameworks
  • Operations optimization: Streamlining processes, improving supply chain efficiency, and implementing lean methodologies
  • Financial advisory: Supporting M&A transactions, capital allocation, valuation, and financial restructuring
  • Digital transformation: Guiding technology adoption, AI implementation, cloud migration, and data modernization
  • Market entry: Facilitating geographic expansion, new product launches, and competitive analysis 
  • Organizational change management: Leading cultural transformation, workforce restructuring, and communication strategies

According to Mordor Intelligence, operations consulting held 29.28% of the global consulting market share in 2024, while technology advisory is forecast to grow at a 6.48% CAGR through 2030. 

How much do business consulting services in the US cost?

Business consulting fees vary based on experience level, firm size, and project complexity. General management consulting hourly rates range from $75 for less experienced consultants to $175-$325 for those with 15+ years of experience.

According to Consulting Success's 2023 survey of nearly 1,000 consultants, 29% of consultants use hourly rates as their primary pricing model. McKinsey senior partners charge $1,193.57 per hour according to the 2024 General Services Administration federal supply lists, while engagement managers cost $834.40 per hour.

Common pricing models include:

Pricing model Description Typical range 
Hourly rate Charged per hour worked$75-$300+ per hour 
Daily rate Hourly rate multiplied by working hours $1,500-$3,000+ per day 
Project-based Fixed fee for defined scope $10,000-$500,000+ 
Retainer Monthly fee for ongoing access $2,500-$25,000+ per month 
Value-based Fee tied to outcomes delivered Varies by engagement 

Should I hire a large consulting firm or a boutique agency?

The choice between the two depends on your specific needs, budget, and project scope.

Type of firm Expertise Why to hire it
Large consulting firm 
  • Extensive global resources 
  • Deep industry expertise across multiple sectors 
  • Established methodologies
  • Ability to deploy large teams for complex, multi-faceted engagements 
  • Broad capabilities 
  • Global reach
  • Recognized brand credibility for stakeholder buy-in 
Boutique consulting agency 
  • More personalized attention
  • Specialized niche expertise
  • Greater flexibility in engagement models
  • More competitive pricing
  • Deep specialization
  • Hands-on partner attention
  • More cost-effective engagement structure

According to Mordor Intelligence, large enterprises accounted for 71.29% of 2024 consulting spend, yet small and medium-sized enterprises are projected to record the fastest growth at 7.04% CAGR through 2030, driven by fractional consulting models and subscription-based advisory. 

How long do business consulting projects usually take?

Project timelines vary significantly based on scope, complexity, and organizational readiness. 

  • Quick diagnostic assessments and targeted analyses typically take 2-6 weeks.
  • Standard strategy development, operational improvement, or organizational design projects generally require 2-4 months.
  • Large-scale transformation initiatives, including digital transformation, M&A integration, or enterprise-wide change programs, often span 6-18 months or longer.

According to McKinsey research, only 30% of transformation efforts succeed overall, with digital transformations being even more challenging, often requiring sustained commitment over multiple years.

What is the typical consulting process?

Most consulting engagements follow a structured methodology designed to ensure thorough analysis and actionable outcomes.

The typical process includes:

  1. Discovery and analysis: Understanding your business context, gathering data, conducting stakeholder interviews, and diagnosing root causes
  2. Strategy development: Synthesizing findings, developing options, and creating strategic recommendations aligned with your objectives
  3. Recommendations presentation: Delivering insights and proposed solutions with supporting rationale and expected outcomes
  4. Implementation support: Assisting with execution, change management, and overcoming organizational barriers
  5. Performance review: Measuring results against objectives, refining approaches, and ensuring sustainable impact

According to Consulting Success, 51% of consultants using value-based fees have an average project value of $10,000 or more, compared to 39% of consultants using hourly fees.
