What Our Clients Say
"Before working with Akiri, our biggest challenge was being able to effectively understand and navigate USAID and FAR regulations. Akiri helped us to approach those issues with confidence. We have found Akiri’s consultants to be friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and very responsive."
— Ben Fowler, CEO,
MarketShare Associates
“We have worked with at least half a dozen of their consultants and always receive excellent support – they are experienced and have great insights on pricing strategy, international costing, and creative approaches to complicated budgets. Many of them are also very knowledgeable about contracts/compliance issues which is extremely helpful.”
— Katie Henke, Senior Director of Business Development, The Cadmus Group
"Akiri's cost volume assistance, from compiling complex budget spreadsheets to helping with pricing and thinking through fees and rates as a small business, enabled Headlight to succeed when we were too small to have full-time help in business development efforts and flourish as we grew...We would have never been able to submit a compliant cost volume to win our first prime contract without Akiri."
— Rebecca Herrington, CEO, Headlight Consulting Services LLC
