Strategic Advisory for Investment Firms
“Helping GPs at Family Offices, Hedge Funds, and Private Equity Firms uncover operational drag, align execution with strategy, and eliminate vendor noise”
Taylor Black Consulting is a strategy-first advisory firm purpose-built for investment leadership.
We partner directly with General Partners and leadership teams at family offices, hedge funds, and private equity firms to uncover hidden operational misalignment—between tools and workflows, compliance and execution, vision and capacity.
We don’t sell software. We don’t push vendors. We deliver clarity.
Using our proprietary ALIGN™ framework, we assess what’s slowing you down, prescribe a decision-ready roadmap, and—when needed—step in as fractional leadership to drive execution.
From regulatory readiness to reporting alignment, from vendor overload to team burnout—we help investment firms remove friction, regain control, and scale with confidence.
Our Services
At Taylor Black Consulting, our work begins where most vendors end—with strategy, not solutions. We help investment firms uncover what’s misaligned beneath the surface: the silent drag between their vision and their execution. Through structured advisory and embedded leadership, we guide General Partners through the complexities of compliance, technology, and operational growth—delivering clarity before they commit to change. The result: less noise, better decisions, and infrastructure that finally fits the business it’s meant to support.
Who is Taylor Black?
Taylor Black Consulting is a strategy-first advisory firm built to serve decision-makers across the investment landscape—General Partners, COOs, CFOs, and operating leaders at family offices, hedge funds, private equity firms, and institutional asset managers.
Founded by a 25-year financial services veteran with leadership experience at Accenture, Microsoft, and within the Google ecosystem, Taylor Black Consulting brings uncommon operational clarity to firms navigating complexity. From advising new fund launches to designing bespoke AI solutions for family offices in the U.S. and UK, we’ve helped leaders align their operations, compliance, and technology—without the vendor noise.
Our advisory is trusted because it’s built on execution. We've directed enterprise-scale implementations across banking, capital markets, and insurance sectors—managing portfolios up to $100M in margin and $2.5M per engagement. Taylor Black Consulting exists for leaders who want to scale with precision, protect investor confidence, and move without operational drag.
What makes US different?
Most firms don’t need more software—they need clarity.
What they’re often sold instead are canned assessments, templated solutions, and tools that create more confusion than alignment. The result?
Quick wins that fade fast, frameworks that miss the nuance, and vendor-led change that rarely sticks.
Taylor Black Consulting exists for firms that require more.
Noise becomes clarity. Leaders gain transparency across operations, vendors, and compliance—not more dashboards.
Assumptions become alignment. Strategy and infrastructure are realigned to serve the firm’s actual goals—not someone else's template.
Activity becomes execution. Roadmaps are acted on by experienced leadership, not handed off to junior teams.
Trust becomes a lever. Engagements are built on candor, challenge, and confidentiality—not salesmanship.
What we believe
Most investment firms don’t fail because of bad strategy—they stall because of silent misalignment. The tools look right on paper, the vendors check the boxes, and the dashboards light up green. But underneath, there’s friction: between operations and growth, between compliance and capacity, between what leadership expects and what the firm is actually built to deliver.
Taylor Black Consulting exists to close that gap.
We believe clarity is more valuable than complexity, and that solving for alignment—not appearances—is what sets enduring firms apart. Our work begins where others stop: with truth, not templates. Because leaders don’t need more inputs. They need a partner who can cut through the noise and help them move—with precision.
