Bering McKinley, helping MSPs Win!
What We Do Best
value winning
Winning isn’t a zero-sum equation. One person or firm need not lose for another to win. If what you are doing isn’t winning, then why do it? We help identify where to change so you can win.
love change
We love working with firms and people who LOVE CHANGE or are learning to love change in order to win. We will help you identify a problem, consider solutions, decide on a solution, and execute a solution.
Keep curious
Curiosity is about how business works, relationships between various decisions, and their impacts. We value curious clients and are always looking for better ways to win.
Practice Humility
We value client partnerships that behave with humility. We know that there is no single answer to a scenario, and we are not binary thinkers. We are continuum thinkers that practice humility in our solution building and thought process.
