About Us
COMPANY OVERVIEW
We are a strategy and performance consulting firm built on a bedrock principle – that unlike career consultants, leaders who have had to operationalize a strategy within a company are best positioned to create actionable solutions that drive business results. Our leadership team has this management experience and bring it to every consulting engagement we complete.
We serve clients in healthcare, industrial products, high-tech, financial services, and a range of industries. We aim to be the partner of choice by adding tremendous value to these clients across our solution offerings, including Organic Growth, M&A, Cost Economics, Process Improvement, Complex Program Management, Core Systems Configuration, Product Development, Digital Transformation, Actuarial Informed Decision Making and more.
WHY FQA
Strategies are best developed by internal leaders who have a deep understanding of their industry and their own organization's strengths and culture. Through unique know-how and accelerators, FQA empowers senior leaders to unlock the intellectual capital that lay dormant in their organizations.
In-house operational experience
-
We have been in your shoes, leading large organizations and executing complex projects in VP/Director roles across multiple business areas.
-
Our people have all been on both sides of the table – as consultants, and as business leaders buying consulting service.
Partner-led engagement delivery
-
Our senior-most professionals are actively involved in engagement delivery, bringing a depth of knowledge and experience.
-
Our methodology is grounded in belief-driven strategies (vs. desire-driven strategies) that engages your internal staff intimately in the design of the strategy.
Big 3 results,
2/3 the cost
-
We are NOT a multi-purpose consulting firm and are free from implicit biases towards the “follow-on project”.
-
We also do not compete on unit price. Our methodologies, tools and accelerators eliminate low-value ‘page-filler’ work, resulting in 20-30% lower client fees.

Aarti Karamchandai
Leadership Team
The consulting business was built on the consultants’ ability to bring diverse knowledge to a client. However, knowledge is now freely available and easily accessible.
FQA is a new type of consulting firm, one that is built on deep expertise and hands-on delivery as clients ourselves. We are not only helping clients transform their industry, we are transforming our own.
