CVG's mission is to help architecture firms become better businesses. We provide financial management, leadership development, marketing and business development, organizational design, ownership transition advisory services, recruitment, and other critical business infrastructure. There are other companies who do management consulting, but CVG goes beyond that—we are focused on being a long-term partner who takes a stake in both the risk and the reward of our partners’ prosperity. We have architectural roots with an entrepreneurial drive. Our founder, Matt Ostanik, AIA, founded two successful technology companies born from his experience working in architectural firms. He observed architects struggling with business priorities, noticing that they might be excellent at design, but have difficulty dedicating time to marketing, business development and staff nurturing. When our clients want to strengthen their business acumen, CVG executes a plan for change and growth. Our impact is not only on the firm and its financial picture; but also on the lives of firm owners and employees. CVG is comprised of a team of international experts from the architecture and business fields of practice. As a location-independent firm, we work together from different cities to advise small architectural firms across the U.S. and beyond. Curious?
