Profile
Places technology and finance-and-accounting consultants into large corporate clients nationwide, mostly through its own directly employed workforce, after exiting clinical research, healthcare, and federal-government lines to concentrate on those two disciplines under long-tenured leadership.
Places technology and finance-and-accounting consultants inside large, Fortune-500 client organizations, filling both temporary assignments and direct-hire roles primarily with its own employed workforce rather than a marketplace of independent contractors.
Operations are concentrated domestically, following a series of divestitures spanning clinical research, healthcare staffing, and federal-government solutions that narrowed the footprint to the current two-discipline model.
Leadership has held its posts for over a decade, and the chairman controls a stake large enough to align governance with founder-era priorities rather than typical public-company diffusion.
Consultant deployment tracks enterprise technology budgets closely, so revenue expands and contracts with the broader hiring cycle in corporate IT spending.

Ownership
A 13F quarter can total more than the shares outstanding — sub-advisers file the same block twice, and a filer's own share count can be a quarter stale. No split is drawn from it.
