IT Consulting & Staffing · O'Fallon, Missouri
One accountable partner for IT strategy, delivery, and talent. Acorn Advisory Group helps growing organizations decide what to do about technology — then supplies the architecture, the execution, and the people to carry it out.
Serving St. Charles County, Greater St. Louis, and remote clients nationwide.
Two practices, one firm
Assessments, roadmaps, target-state architecture and hands-on delivery across cloud, infrastructure, and security. Plus vCIO and vCISO retainers for organizations that need senior technology leadership without a full-time hire.
Contract, contract-to-hire, and direct-hire placement for infrastructure, cloud, security, service desk, project management, and data and applications roles — including fractional and executive CIO, CTO, and CISO search.
How we work
A single engagement model that carries a decision from question to working system — with the same people accountable at every phase.
We assess the current estate, quantify risk and cost, and pressure-test the options. You finish this phase owning a prioritized, costed roadmap — whether or not we build it.
Target-state architecture, migration and security design, and an implementation plan detailed enough to schedule, staff, and budget against.
Implementation, migration, integration, testing, and cutover — ending in documented handover to your team or to staff we place with you.
Why Acorn
Most organizations between 10 and 150 employees are underserved: too small for a big-four engagement, too complex for a break-fix vendor. That gap is the whole reason Acorn exists.
We sell outcomes, not hardware. If the right answer is to buy nothing, that is the answer you get.
Engagements are run by principals with delivery scars — not sold by a partner and staffed with a junior bench.
Cloud and modern workplace, infrastructure modernization, security baseline, and the talent behind them. We decline work outside that.
No resale margins, no referral kickbacks, no product quotas shaping the recommendation.
Strategy, delivery, and people from one accountable firm — so nothing falls between the advisor, the integrator, and the recruiter.
Case study
How a prime-contractor compliance deadline at a 320-person manufacturer becomes an 18-month program — assessment, architecture, delivery, retainer, and two permanent hires — with every line traced to our published prices.
Illustrative composite engagement. Fictional client.
