Three engagements, three balance sheets, three sets of numbers signed off by someone other than us.

03 — The Firm
Northgate was founded in 2008 by partners who had grown tired of leverage models that bill juniors and promise partners. Here, the person who wins your work does your work — and a portion of our fee is at risk against the outcome we commit to.
— Daniel Northgate, Founding Partner
Meet the Partners04 — Method
Four phases, fixed cadence, no surprises. You'll know by week three whether the thesis holds.
Two weeks inside your data and your operations. We return with the three numbers that matter — and the ones that don't.
Options priced, risks quantified, a single recommendation defended in front of your board. We take a position.
Joint teams, weekly governance, value tracked line-by-line in a shared model your CFO owns.
Capability transferred, cadence installed, and a 12-month follow-through review — at our cost.
05 — People
Every engagement is led day-to-day by one of the partners below. No bait, no switch.

“Small team, senior people, brutal honesty. Our cost-to-income ratio speaks for the rest.”
