ABOUT KESTREL
Built by operators who got tired of hundred-slide answers.
Kestrel was founded in 2015 by former CFOs and COOs. Our model is simple: small senior teams, one fixed price, and work you can act on the week it lands.
OUR STORY
We sat on your side of the table first.
Our founders spent two decades hiring consultants as operating executives. The work was often smart, rarely usable: too long, too junior, and gone before the hard part began.
Kestrel is the firm they wanted to hire. Partners do the analysis themselves, scopes fit on two pages, and we measure ourselves on the result you report — not the hours we bill.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
Three rules we don't bend.
Seniority on every hour
No pyramid. Partners and principals do the thinking and the work, so you never pay to train our juniors.
Evidence over opinion
Every recommendation ships with the model behind it, so your team can check the logic and rerun it without us.
Paid for outcomes
Fixed fees, and on larger programs part of our fee rides on the measures we agree with you up front.
PARTNERS
The people who will lead your work.
Each partner has run a P&L or a finance function before joining Kestrel.
