About Elbery & Burns
We didn’t start Elbery & Burns to chase scale. We started it because too many firms give advice without accountability and too many clients are left managing risk in a vacuum. This is our answer to that.
We believe regulated businesses need more than frameworks and templates, and they need advisors who’ve carried risk themselves, understand what’s at stake, and can act with clarity in uncertain moments.
We work with leadership teams where decisions around data, compliance, and governance can’t wait for perfect conditions. Whether a company is preparing for audit, scaling toward new markets, responding to scrutiny, or redefining internal controls, we help create stability, alignment, and forward momentum.
What We Believe
Risk doesn’t have to slow you down. Done well, it becomes a tool for better decisions, clearer priorities, and stronger outcomes.
We don’t see risk as a standalone function. It’s embedded in product, in operations, in every vendor decision, and in every line of code. Our work is grounded in that reality — translating obligations into strategy and pressure into structure.
We also believe discretion matters. Clients trust us not just with their risks, but with their internal dynamics. We don’t take that lightly.
We get called in when something’s at stake: an audit. An acquisition. A failure that can’t happen again.
We’ve helped clients launch regulated products, prepare for investor questionnaires, and translate board pressure into real progress.
The People Behind the Work
We’re experienced professionals with backgrounds in cybersecurity and compliance. Every engagement is led by a leader who’s been accountable for outcomes inside a company, not just advising from outside.
Our consultants have:
- Built governance programs for scaling SaaS companies
- Navigated HIPAA, GLBA, and SOC 2 across high-growth tech
- Advised founders through diligence, exits, and breach recovery
If we take on an engagement, our senior team starts and stays involved. We don’t sacrifice.
What It’s Like to Work With Us
Clients describe our style as direct, thoughtful, and unusually fast. We ask the right questions early, focus on what matters, and avoid spinning up unnecessary workstreams. Some relationships are project-based. Others last years. What stays consistent is the clarity we bring to the table.
You won’t get recycled playbooks or padded hours. You’ll get honest advice, delivered with the kind of urgency and context that makes a difference when the stakes are high.
Ready When You Are
If your team is facing growing regulatory pressure, internal uncertainty, or board-level scrutiny, we can help. Reach out. We’ll listen first, and act quickly after.
