About Free Agent Source

The Open Source Consulting Firm™

FAS is a full service consulting firm with one important difference: You engage consultants directly.

Eliminating the partnership model from full service consulting.

Freedom from 'Land and Expand'

Traditional (big 4) consulting firms are inefficient by design. There's a massive 'consulting tax' in the form of the partnership model. Everyone upstairs at the firm has to get paid. It's a known facet of the industry: the strategy is "land and expand".

Land and Expand Consulting

  • Pull in working "trainees" and other 'extras' from their bench of consultants. The more people on the project, the better.
  • Commit you to rigid, "signature" processes (rather than proceeding in the obvious manner). The more obscure the methodology, the better.
  • Burn time and money data-gathering, fact-finding, and churning out documentation. The less focus on actual delivery, the better.

Free Agent Source

  • Assemble only the team you need—no unnecessary consultants. Consultants have authority to revise scope and solve issues without "kicking it upstairs".
  • Transparent, open source methodology: we are agile practitioners who solve your problems in the most direct way possible.
  • Your priorities always win. Consultants provide an independent perspective with no requirement to present a centralized corporate position.

What a Difference the Consulting Model Makes

Free Agent Source does not rely on a partnership model. Expertise resides in the consultants on the ground, with whom you maintain a direct relationship. They are loyal to your goals and project success and are 100% accountable for execution. We never "rotate" consultants away from that relationship against your preferences. Any consultant you like joins your permanent network of professionals, so you always have a team ready for your next project.

I fired the traditional consulting firm today.

I bet that was sweet. Did you tell them you're with FAS now?

Yeah, they said FAS doesn't play much golf. I said, "neither do I." #LOL

Pssst! It's True: We Suck at Golf

We excel at getting work DONE.

Get your people. Get it done.

Free Agent Source makes it possible to engage them on the same professional level that you expect from any corporate consulting firm today. Get the team you need and get your project done.

We Deliver Completion

Free Agent Source is a consulting company focused on delivering your corporate projects without excessive analysis and endless presentations. We measure success based on project completion and positive client references, not stuffing the project with unneeded consultants and inflated billable hours.

Direct Access to Consultants

You will find our consultants are an entrepreneurial, "get it done" group of professionals because, while we often work in teams, each consultant is responsible for their own consulting practice. Every consultant chooses their engagements and has a stake in their client relationships. Every consultant is paid while working on projects and they are not paid when not working on projects. That's how we like it because it brings flexibility. You can be assured, every one of your consultants is on your project by choice.

And We're Recruiting
