Atlanta's Project Management Consulting Firm for High-Stakes Programs

When the program has to land — a post-merger integration, a system cutover, a carve-out, a new operating model — Atlanta's middle market relies on consultants who do more than build slideware.

Stonehill is a project management consulting firm purpose-built for the moments when execution decides the outcome. We embed senior operators into your most consequential initiatives. We run the program, manage the dependencies, hold the leadership team accountable, and deliver the result.

What Atlanta Companies Hire Us To Do

  • Post-Merger Integration & IMO Leadership - We stand up and run the Integration Management Office — workstream chartering, synergy tracking, leadership cadence, day-one and 100-day execution. Most of our Atlanta engagements come through PE operating partners and CFOs who need integration done right the first time.

  • Strategic Initiative & Transformation PMO - ERP cutovers. Commercial transformations. Footprint consolidations. Organizational redesign. When the project crosses functions and the stakes are real, we provide the program leadership, RAID discipline, and executive reporting cadence that keeps it on track.

  • Carve-Out & Divestiture Execution - Standing up a TSA program, separating shared services, building a clean operating model on the other side — we manage carve-out programs end-to-end for both sellers and buyers operating in the Atlanta market.

  • Change Management & Adoption - A project plan is not a result. We pair program management with structured change management — stakeholder mapping, communication architecture, training, and adoption tracking — so the work sticks after the consultants leave.

  • AI, Automation & Analytics Programs - Through our Center of Excellence for AI, Automation & Analytics, we deliver AI and automation programs end-to-end: use case identification, build, deployment, and the change management that gets users to actually adopt the tools.

Why Atlanta Companies Choose Stonehill

  • Senior operators, not pyramid staffing. Every engagement is led by someone who has run the function we're now running for you. No junior consultants billing premium rates to build status decks.

  • Middle market is our home. We don't serve the Fortune 50. Our entire firm is built around the operational complexity, resource constraints, and pace of $50M–$1B businesses — particularly those backed by private equity.

  • Atlanta is a focus market. The Southeast's PE corridor runs through Atlanta, and our work follows. Many of our operating partner relationships, middle market deals, and active engagements touch the metro area. We deploy on-site as the program requires.

  • We've earned trust at scale. Valley National Bank, PODS, FIS, Red Bull, Starbucks Latin America, and The Melting Pot have hired us. Middle market PE portfolios across distribution, industrial services, building products, and business services hire us repeatedly.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does Stonehill have an office in Atlanta? Stonehill is headquartered in the Tampa Bay area and serves Atlanta clients on a deployed basis. Our consultants travel to client sites as the engagement requires, and Atlanta is a regular destination given the city's role as a Southeast hub for middle market private equity.

  • What size companies do you typically serve? $50M to $1B in revenue, most often PE-backed or preparing for a transaction. We've also taken on larger engagements where the scope fits — Valley National Bank, PODS, FIS, Red Bull, and Starbucks Latin America are all on our client roster.

  • How is Stonehill different from a traditional PMO consulting firm? Most PMO firms supply project managers. We supply senior operators who lead programs as if they owned the P&L. The difference shows up in the room — we push back, reframe the problem, and drive decisions rather than just tracking them.

  • What types of programs do you run most often? Post-merger integrations, carve-outs and divestitures, ERP and system implementations, commercial and operating model transformations, and AI/automation deployments. The common thread is cross-functional complexity and executive-level visibility.

  • What does an engagement cost? Engagement economics scale with scope. A typical IMO or transformation program runs $30K–$60K per month. Fixed-fee diagnostics typically fall in the $30K–$50K range. We staff lean and senior, so total program cost usually lands well below a Big Four pyramid quote.
