The Outside-In Audit

I've been inside enough businesses to know exactly what the outside sees.

For more than 18 years, I've been the person organizations bring in when something isn't working and no one can quite name what it is. I audit. I rebuild. I hand off systems that last. Most recently as Head of Special Projects at Argo Shipping, I stepped into interim leadership across finance, HR, sales, and compliance, not as an outside observer, but as someone inside the building doing the work. I drove sales outreach and client acquisition, conducted client audits and research for long-term partnerships, uncovered a multi-year payroll error costing employees up to $6,000 a year, and rebuilt the sales organization from the ground up. That's not a description of a job. That's a description of how I operate.

I've sat in the inside seat of enough organizations to know exactly what doesn't survive contact with the outside world. The positioning that made perfect sense in a leadership meeting. The sales deck that works when you're the one presenting it. The website everyone internally loves because they already know what you mean. I've been on both sides of that gap: building the internal narrative and walking in cold to see what actually landed.

Through KP Consulting, I've spent twelve years advising businesses across industries on transformation, digital presence, and positioning, helping clients grow revenue by 230% or more, auditing brand and marketing strategies, and turning scattered operations into organized, scalable systems. The Outside-In Audit is a direct translation of that experience, packaged into a clean deliverable with a clear timeline and no ambiguity about what you're getting.
