What is Conscious Consultants?

Conscious Consultants is a strategic consultancy built exclusively for organisations operating at the top. Founded in 2004 by Alison Goodwin and Steve Fowles, the firm advises CEOs, founders, family office principals, and board-level executives who have already achieved considerable success — and are now focused on protecting, scaling, and futureproofing what they have built.

This is not a generalist advisory firm. It is a senior-led, bespoke consultancy for 6 and 7-figure organisations where the decisions are significant, the stakes are high, and mediocrity is not an option.

Who does Conscious Consultants work with?

Conscious Consultants works with CEOs, founders, family office principals, and board-level executives running 6 and 7-figure organisations. Clients come from across the UK, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, and internationally, spanning sectors including financial services, technology, real estate, professional services, wealth management, and consumer brands.

What unites them is not their industry but the stage they are at: they have already built something of scale, and they are now focused on protecting what they have earned, scaling with intelligence, and building infrastructure that lasts.

How is Conscious Consultants different from other business consultancies?

Most consultancies fall into two categories: large firms that are too broad to be personal, or small firms that are too junior to understand operating at scale. Conscious Consultants was built to close that gap.

Every engagement is senior-led, every strategy is built from the ground up around the specific organisation, and every recommendation is made with long-term legacy in mind. There are no off-the-shelf frameworks. There are no junior associates running the work. The founders and senior team are in the room on every engagement.
