A bold vision of delivering business solutions through an expanded collective of resources and expertise.
By now, you’ve likely heard about the strategic partnership we are forming between Zweig Group and Stambaugh Ness. As the CEOs of these two national, AEC industry-leading firms, we want to go beyond the headlines and share what this truly means for you.
At the heart of this commitment is a bold vision of delivering business solutions through an expanded collective of resources and expertise. Through this strategic partnership, you can now benefit from the full strength of both teams working together. Through this collaboration, we can deliver additional firepower for strategic planning and compensation benchmarking, mergers and acquisitions, and more. And with a broader audience base, our industry research will uncover deeper insights, delivering greater value to the clients we serve.
As Mark Zweig, founder of Zweig Group, puts it, “The professionals who own and operate AEC firms are among the most dedicated, resilient, and innovative business leaders in any industry. This partnership is a testament to our shared belief in their potential and our commitment to equipping them with the strategies and resources they need to thrive. And while many collaborations fall short of their anticipated impact, we are confident that this one will deliver lasting value because of the unwavering dedication of both organizations to the firms we serve.”
But that’s just the beginning. This partnership also means an expanded suite of services to help your firm soar. SN is uniquely positioned to deliver financial and business expertise to Zweig Group clients, including:
- Government contracting audit and advisory, including FAR audits
- Outsourced accounting on Deltek Ajera, Vision, or Vantagepoint
- Fractional leadership, including CFO and CIO advisory
- Technology services, including managed technology, data solutions, and cybersecurity
- ERP selection, implementation, and consulting
- AEC-focused tax advisory
- State advisory services
- Wealth management (through a partnership with Stonebridge Financial Group)
Similarly, Zweig Group’s expertise – especially in executive search, industry insights, and leadership development becomes even more accessible to SN clients.
An additional driver for joining forces is combining our abundant thought leadership. SN delivers more than 60 webinars and virtual user groups, and live trainings on a variety of topics throughout the year. Zweig Group offers nearly a dozen industry insight reports annually, along with a host of roundtables and conferences for executives each year, including the industry’s preeminent awards program. All of these translate into more opportunities for you to stay connected, learn, and develop as professionals and leaders in your AEC businesses.
We’re thrilled about what this partnership will bring, and we hope you are, too. Whether through webinars, surveys, events, or consulting services, we are committed to delivering greater value and deeper insights to help your business succeed. We look forward to collaborating with you, sharing knowledge, and driving meaningful growth together. And, as always, we welcome your feedback.
Onwards and upwards, AEC!
