Consultancy that starts with your business, not a platform.
Before we even talk about the tech, we talk about how your firm operates, where the pain points are, where it’s losing time, revenue or clients, and what you want to achieve. Then we shape a solution that’s right for you. That could be HubSpot, a change in process, or something else entirely, but we know it will be right for your business.
Most firms reach for a tool before they’ve defined the problem.
No one has a clear view of what’s actually wrong.
Leadership feels the friction, but the causes sit buried across teams, processes and systems. Without an objective look from outside, decisions get made on assumption rather than evidence.
You’re treating symptoms, not causes.
New tools get bought to fix the problems you can see, while the real cause goes untouched. You never fixed the real problem, so six months on, the same frustrations are back, and now you have another system to maintain.
Spending money without proving success.
Any investment in change has to be justified. You need a clear, evidenced recommendation with the commercial case attached, not just another line in your P&L for the board to question.
How we can help you
Discovery
You know something isn’t working. You need to know exactly what, and why, before you allocate spend to fix it.
Our discovery process goes into your business, maps how it really operates and pinpoints where time, revenue or client experience is leaking. You come away with a clear picture of the problem, strategic recommendation to overcome it and a prioritised view of what to do next.
HubSpot Strategy
You’ve committed to HubSpot, or you’re weighing it up, and you need a plan built around your business rather than a feature list.
We translate your business goals into a HubSpot roadmap: what to build, in what order and what it should deliver. We do the thinking first, so that when we come to build it you can justify every decision to board.
RevOps
Your revenue teams run on different systems, data and definitions, so no-one has true oversight.
We align your marketing, business development and client teams around one operating model and one set of data, which results in reporting that leadership can actually trust, that doesn’t take weeks to put together. The result is fewer blind spots and quicker decisions made based on what’s really happening.

FAQs
Good consultancy starts by understanding your firm. Here are some common questions about how we approach it.
Have a question that isn’t here? Start a conversation and we’ll talk it through.
What does a consultancy engagement with Karman involve?
We go into your business to understand how it operates, analyse where the real problems sit, and come back with a clear, evidenced recommendation. Sometimes that leads to technology, sometimes to a change in process. The work is about solving the problem, not fitting you to a product.
Do we have to use HubSpot to work with you?
No. Our consultancy is platform-agnostic. We’ll recommend what’s right for your business, and if that isn’t HubSpot, we’ll tell you.
How is this different from a HubSpot implementation?
Implementation is about building and configuring the platform, once you know it will solve the problem. Consultancy comes first. We define the problem, test whether technology is the right answer, and set the direction.
What is a discovery phase, and why does it come first?
Discovery is how we understand your business before recommending anything. During this phase, we map how your firm works today and pinpoint where value is being lost. The insight from discovery guides everything else. Every decision that follows is based on evidence rather than assumption.
What do we get at the end of a consultancy engagement?
A clear recommendation you can act on and take to the board. We outline what the problem is, what we’d do about it, and the commercial case for doing so. Where relevant, that includes a roadmap and prioritised next steps.
How long does a consultancy engagement take?
It depends on the scope and complexity of the question. We work in a lean, focused way rather than running long, open-ended projects, so you reach a usable answer quickly.
What sectors do you work with?
We specialise in legal, financial services and professional services firms, usually in regulated environments.
