An independent advisory firm for the firms that win government work.
Aptos Strategy Group is not a government contractor. We are the strategic advisory team that founder- and CEO-led govcon firms bring in when pipeline, leadership, and exit narrative all need to move at once.
Founder- and CEO-led govcon firms with real ambition.
Most engagements are with firms between roughly $5M and $250M in revenue, where the next pursuit, the next hire, and the next exit move are all in play simultaneously.
We work best with operators who want directness, hard-edged trade-offs, and a partner that will own the operating story — not just produce a deck and disappear.
How we work.
Independence
No prime/sub conflicts. We work for the firm hiring us — only.
Operator-first
Built by people who have run capture, hired the bench, and lived through diligence.
Compounding work
Every engagement leaves behind reusable intelligence and a sharper operating story.
Confidentiality
Engagement learning is structured and reusable; what's yours stays yours.
Honest about the boundaries.
We are direct about where Aptos ends and where another professional begins. The list below is a feature, not a disclaimer.
Not a government contractor
Aptos does not bid, prime, or subcontract federal work. We advise the firms that do.
Not a recruiter farm
We don't push volume résumés. We work shortlist-first on the seats that change the firm's trajectory.
Not legal, tax, or audit
We coordinate with — and complement — your legal, tax, and audit advisors. We don't render those opinions ourselves.
Not a guarantee shop
No promised wins, no promised multiples. We are honest about probability, leverage, and risk.
Not a deck factory
Engagements are scoped to outcomes — capture lifts, hires made, readiness gaps closed — not slide counts.
Not a black box
You see the diagnostic, the plan, and the trade-offs. The firm — and its board — own the call.
Want to know if we’re the right fit?
A 30-minute strategy call gives both sides what they need to decide. No deck. No pitch. Just a working conversation.
