Small business IT consulting in Washington, DC

No account managers between you and the engineer.

You talk to who's accountable for it

Every engagement is scoped and overseen by the same person you talk to on day one — not routed through an account manager or a junior bench.

Built on real operational experience

Founded and led by a service-disabled veteran with hands-on systems and security background — not a sales-led shop reselling someone else's implementation.

Right-sized for small and mid-size teams

Practical engineering for businesses that need it done correctly, not a six-figure retainer built for an enterprise you aren't. What engagements start at.

How the engagement works · What small offices usually need first

Accretion is built the other way: the person who scopes your engagement stays accountable for it, start to finish.
