Law firms, accounting firms, restructuring advisors, consulting partnerships. Where billable hours can't survive an outage, client confidentiality is non-negotiable, and your IT firm should answer to your CIO as a peer - not pitch them as a vendor.
Four Buyer Profiles
Four growth postures across the 10–300 person band. The IT priorities and engagement model that fits each - for advisory & professional services specifically.

Best fit: Fractional engagement - senior IT capability without overhead.
02
25-person boutique advisory firm · Onboarding
Situation: Winning institutional clients for the first time. Hitting client security questionnaires it cannot yet answer cleanly. SOC 2 readiness becomes the new conversation.

Best fit: Fractional engagement - capability slice for compliance and security architecture.
03
60-person regional accounting firm with multiple offices · Neutral

04
100-person regional firm planning a roll-up or sell-side process · Offensive
Situation: Acquiring smaller competitors or exploring a sell-side process to a larger national. M&A IT diligence on both sides of the deal.
IT priority: M&A IT capability, audit-grade data room, integration playbooks, partner-tier IT discipline.
Best fit: Bundled engagement - full ownership, board-grade reporting.
