FLEX Consulting is a self-described wolf-pack, ready to attack any challenge and leave no person or company behind.

Shannan De Witt and Michael Hermanson launched FLEX a year-and-a-half ago to give small companies the help they needed but did not have the resources for. The pair soon realized that many businesses–from large companies to non-profits–were suffering the same problems.

“For me it was easy,” Shannan said of starting FLEX. “In 2001 I switched to the medical field and saw all the problems in business occurring in real life groups.”

FLEX teaches companies how to fix the problems on their own and thrive in the future. On the software side, it offers services such as product development analysis and project management. On the financial side, it looks at areas such as tax services and assurance services.

Shannan described FLEX as “the donut around the hole,” explaining they consider all the factors and costs people forget to calculate. FLEX welcomes each client as a partner and consults on operations, business management, accounting, finance.

“We want to provide the best services and know that whoever approaches us and needs help gets it,” Shannan said. “If we can’t get that help for them, we align them with people who can. Most companies will not do that.”

In the future, FLEX’s founders hope to continue growing the company, giving back and investing in their company’s visions. Shannan said she would like to reach a size of 25-50 employees who are passionate about helping others and being honest.

“Our goal is to put our passions to use so the public can gain a little,” Shannan said.
