Who we are

A small advisory practice that does the unglamorous work properly

Krasner Advisory Group was founded in Olympia by Robert Smith after fourteen years managing back-office operations for regional employers. The practice exists for one reason: most small companies do not need a strategy deck, they need someone to sit down, look at how the work actually flows, and fix the three things that cause eighty percent of the friction.

We work on-site in Thurston County and remotely across Washington. Every engagement is led by a named adviser who stays with you from the first call to the final handover, and every recommendation is written down in plain English so your team can act on it without us in the room.

  • Independent — we take no commission from any software vendor
  • Fixed scope and fixed fee, agreed before work begins
  • Documentation handed over in editable formats you own

Client feedback

What clients say after the first quarter

Client names are withheld at their request; references are available on request during proposal stage.

“Our month-end used to take nine days. After Krasner rebuilt the workflow it takes two, and I finally trust the numbers I present to the board.”
Operations Director, regional facilities contractorTacoma, WA
“They documented everything. When our office manager retired after 21 years, the handover took a week instead of a quarter.”
Owner, family-run distribution companyLacey, WA
“Straightforward people. They told us we did not need the expensive software we were about to buy, and saved us the subscription.”
