Partnership Benefits

A true growth partner

When you commit to a year with us, we commit right back - rolling up our sleeves and getting in the trenches with you. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all program. It’s a structured, high-touch partnership built around the real needs of your firm. From deep-dive planning retreats to hands-on implementation support and real-time communication, here’s what’s included in your Velocity Partnership.

Strategic Planning Retreats

Every great firm needs space to think. As a Velocity Partnership client, you’ll participate in five high-impact planning retreats throughout the year - two-day Annual and three one-day Quarterlies. These sessions are the anchor for your firm’s momentum, clarity, and accountability. Held in person in Denver (if feasible), each retreat gives you the structure and focus to grow wisely.

Custom Implementation Support

Strategy without execution is wishful thinking. That’s why we pair your planning with tailored support in between retreats. Whether it’s removing friction in operations, tackling team structure, or refining processes, we walk alongside you to implement with confidence. You don’t just plan - you move forward.

Dedicated Coaching Calls

Each quarter, you’ll meet privately with your lead consultant and key team members to stay aligned, troubleshoot issues, and track progress. Calls are customized to the needs of your firm - from financials and people to process and performance. These are not generic check-ins. They’re powerful conversations that drive your firm forward.

Private Communication Channel

Questions don’t wait for the next meeting. You’ll have ongoing access to your Velocity Work team through a private Voxer channel. Use it to check in, share updates, or talk through what’s unfolding in real-time. We’re not just a partner on paper - we’re in it with you.

Metrics + Visibility

Progress must be visible to be sustainable. We help you identify and track the metrics that matter - no more guessing, no more overwhelm. With shared dashboards, templates, and regular reviews, you’ll develop a relationship with your numbers that actually helps you lead.

Hear from some of our members who are reclaiming their freedom and growing revenue.

The goal setting and strategic planning have been very helpful. I didn't have real goals for the firm prior to joining Mastery Group. The goal was: just bill more hours and make more money. I was focused on the billable hours I was doing each month but now I realize there is more to it than just the number of hours you are billing.

Betsey Lund Ross

I really look forward to the quarterly strategic planning sessions! I wasn't so sure about taking a whole day off from the practice just to plan - but the level of clarity and focus I get from that day drives the rest of the quarter. I will try super hard never to miss one of the QPRs.

Rebecca Deming

ProVet Legal

I didn't have real goals for the firm prior to joining Mastery Group. The goal was: just bill more hours and make more money. Monday Map/Friday Wrap has had a big impact on taking my stress level from a constant 9/10 to a 2/3. I feel like I can handle my week, my day, when I have planned ahead -I am addicted to this now. It is an example of how a little planning goes a long way, not just in productivity but in how I feel about my time being traded for my work.

Drew Hickey

Bolen, Robinson, and Ellis, LLP

It is very helpful to be guided through thoughtful questions to consider about my firm, the direction of my firm, and my thoughts about my firm, setting goals and breaking those down into rocks and breaking my rocks down into action steps, and crunching the numbers to set specific financial goals. Also, hearing other members talk about their businesses and business goals gives me confidence to dream bigger for me and my firm.

I never could have dreamt of the success my firm experienced this year prior to joining Mastery Group, but today I’m so proud to say I exceeded my revenue goal for the year! Nothing like down to the wire, but I set that goal and beat it!

Melissa's kindness, and not just Melissa, but the entire Velocity team followed up with me. They checked in on how things were going, if there were any changes or improvements, etc. Even the smallest follow-up meant a lot.
