We are hands-on operators, not playbook makers.

We’ve held the roles we now advise, from frontline contributor to executive leadership, and have built, scaled, and repaired revenue engines from the inside.

We work with SaaS companies from startup through Series C and are trusted by equity partners to strengthen performance ahead of scale, investment, or transaction. We do not operate a traditional consulting pyramid. When you work with River, you work directly with experienced commercial leaders.

No juniors. No layered model.

Behind us sits a curated network of specialist advisors across go-to-market, partnerships, M&A, AI, organisational growth, IT diligence, security, CRM, and operational scale. We take on fewer clients so we can give each one focused attention. We care about the businesses we partner with, and we stay engaged until growth is aligned and durable.

“I owe much of my success to the training and coaching James and the team have provided. He doesn’t overcomplicate anything and cuts through the noise to be a true strategic partner. James remains, to this day, the the most respected leader in customer success, not just in SaaS but customers of SaaS!”

We help companies scale with clarity.

In growing SaaS companies, strategy is set at the top and execution happens at the front lines but performance often breaks in the middle.

River Consultancy Group exists to close that gap.

We work with founders, executive teams, boards, and equity partners to ensure commercial strategy translates into operational discipline. Through fractional leadership, revenue OKR alignment, and targeted growth audits across go-to-market, operations, systems, and leadership, we remove silos, strengthen performance infrastructure, and align teams around the metrics that drive revenue.

Achieve 10–25% ARR growth and 4–8 point Net Revenue Retention improvement.
