We've worked with founders, operators, and public-sector leaders across a dozen industries — but these are the verticals where our team's experience runs deepest.
Marketing agencies, law firms, architecture practices, and consulting boutiques. We help service businesses turn project pipelines into predictable revenue with margin discipline.
Talk to usIndependent retailers and DTC brands navigating inventory, channel mix, and unit economics. Sharper financials and customer insight that drive repeat purchase.
Talk to usDevelopers, REITs, and family offices evaluating projects, pursuing incentives, or making the case for community impact. Defensible numbers when the stakes are public.
Talk to usIndependent operators and small groups balancing labor, COGS, and guest experience. Reporting cadences and analytics that match the speed of the floor.
Talk to usCities, parishes, and economic-development organizations evaluating incentive packages, new businesses, and major developments — with reports built to withstand scrutiny.
Talk to usSpecialty manufacturers, fabricators, and trade businesses scaling beyond the founder. Job-costing, gross-margin clarity, and the operational data that compounds.
Talk to usA regional development authority engaged Lark to evaluate the projected economic impact of a $90M mixed-use development. Our team delivered a full input-output study, tax-revenue model, and community-benefits analysis — then walked the council through the methodology line-by-line during the public hearing.
The project was approved unanimously. The methodology has since been used as a template for two additional municipal evaluations.
The right fractional engagement looks very different at $1M than at $20M. Here's how we usually structure each stage.
Owner is still in the work. Books need cleanup, decisions need data, and a few hours of senior thinking a month would change everything.
First key hires made. The business is growing past what spreadsheets can hold — needs reporting cadence, real budgets, and a strategic plan with teeth.
Real ops team in place. Lark plays a senior advisory role — strategic projects, market research for new bets, and the outside view your team needs.
