Service Business Talks with Fexingo: Consulting, Agencies, and Professional Services

無料で聴く

Lucas and Luna sit in a consultancy lobby, portfolios open, and do what most business shows avoid: they talk about the actual mechanics of running a professional services firm. From hourly billing vs. value pricing to the economics of partner tracks, from agency retainer structures to the hidden costs of 'scope creep' in consulting engagements. Each episode picks one real firm — a boutique strategy shop, a mid-sized PR agency, a solo CPA practice — and uses its public financials, client roster, or growth trajectory to illustrate a specific operational or strategic lesson. Lucas leads with journalistic rigor, citing profit margins, utilization rates, and churn data. Luna pushes back with the practitioner's view: what works on the ground when the client is in the room. The listener is assumed to be running or working inside a services business — or seriously considering starting one. No founder hagiography, no '5 tips to scale.' Just two sharp minds dissecting the numbers and decisions that separate a thriving practice from a dying one. How does a $10M agency actually build a sales pipeline? When does a consultancy's brand become a liability? And what does the balance sheet of a 50-year-old accounting firm reveal about succession? #Consulting #Agencies #ProfessionalServices #ServiceBusiness #PricingStrategy #UtilizationRate #ScopeCreep #PartnerTrack #RetainerModel #BillingModels #PracticeManagement #ClientChurn #BusinessOfServices #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Business #Careers #ManagementConsulting Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • Why Consulting Firms Are Building Their Own ESG Rating Agencies

    Why Consulting Firms Are Building Their Own ESG Rating Agencies
    2026/06/08
    Episode 39 of Service Business Talks explores the growing trend of consulting firms launching their own ESG rating agencies. Lucas and Luna discuss how McKinsey's sustainability ratings arm, launched in 2024, aims to challenge incumbents like MSCI and Sustainalytics. They unpack the conflict of interest concerns—consultants both advising companies on ESG and rating them—and examine the potential impact on the $40 billion ESG data industry. The episode also touches on regulatory scrutiny from the SEC and EU, and what this means for corporate clients trying to navigate the alphabet soup of ESG frameworks. A concrete look at how the consulting industry is reshaping a market it once only advised on. #ESG #SustainabilityRatings #McKinsey #ConsultingFirms #ESGData #MSCI #Sustainalytics #Greenwashing #Regulation #SEC #EU #Business #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ServiceBusinessTalks #ProfessionalServices #Advisory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Why Consulting Firms Are Building Their Own Credit Arms

    Why Consulting Firms Are Building Their Own Credit Arms
    2026/06/08
    Episode 38 of Service Business Talks with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna examine the growing trend of consulting firms launching in-house credit and lending divisions. Using the example of a mid-tier firm that started offering working capital advances to its own clients, they break down the economics: why a consultancy can earn 12-15% risk-adjusted returns on a $50 million credit pool, how regulatory arbitrage works, and what this means for traditional lenders. They also discuss the cultural tension between advisory objectivity and being a creditor. A specific, data-driven look at one of the more surprising vertical integrations in professional services. #ConsultingFirms #CreditArms #Lending #ProfessionalServices #VerticalIntegration #WorkingCapital #PrivateCredit #RegulatoryArbitrage #RiskManagement #ClientFinancing #AlternativeLending #BusinessStrategy #ServiceBusinessTalks #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Finance #ConsultingTrends #ProfitPool Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Why Consulting Firms Are Buying Their Own Coffee Shops

    Why Consulting Firms Are Buying Their Own Coffee Shops
    2026/06/07
    In this episode of Service Business Talks with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore a surprising trend: consulting firms opening their own coffee shops. They dive into how Deloitte's 'The Coffee Club' in London serves as both a client meeting space and a subtle brand immersion tool, generating recurring revenue while reinforcing expertise. The hosts discuss the economics—how a single location can pull in $1.2 million annually—and the strategic rationale: controlling the client environment from arrival to departure. They weigh the risks, like distracting from core consulting work, and consider whether this signals a broader shift toward experiential branding in professional services. Tune in for a concrete, numbers-driven look at why bean counters are now counting beans. #Deloitte #TheCoffeeClub #Consulting #ProfessionalServices #ExperientialBranding #ClientExperience #RevenueStreams #BusinessStrategy #CoffeeShops #BrandImmersion #ServiceBusinessTalks #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #ClientHospitality #Diversification #RetailInConsulting #BusinessModel Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
