Who We Are:
Clearsulting is an Office of the CFO consulting company built on operationalizing our core values and purpose of creating a fulfilling work environment for our people, clients and strategic partnerships. The firm was founded on the belief that we can disrupt the consulting industry through developing niche expertise in the areas we operate, connect our clients to cultivate trusted relationships, and take a roll up our sleeves approach to partner with them to get stuff done and add real value by listening and solving their problems. With a people first approach, we’ve scaled the company to 300+ people in North America and Europe with 8 distinct practices, several of which are focused on a strategic alliance partner.
In 2020, Clearsulting began building a Corporate Performance Management (CPM) practice. Through market research, the company determined to focus on building a OneStream alliance and specialism given the power of the platform, market success, and vision for the future. In an already mature partner ecosystem, Clearsulting hired strong talent, exemplified GRIT, and leveraged its expanding network and trust with mid-market to enterprise clients to cultivate a practice in both the USA and Canada. Highlighting success is our team of ~15 OneStream focused professionals, achieving Gold partner status, and several successful projects delivered across the platform. This success resulted in significant sales growth through 2023, a profitable practice, and proof of our capabilities at smaller to large clients.
