ESLet's talk

For families and companies

Strategy that gets built.

One team for the strategy, finances, technology and communication of your company and your family.

Let's talk

Four units. One point of accountability.

A mid-sized company usually buys these four things from four different places: an agency, an accounting firm, a software shop, a strategy consultant. They rarely talk to each other. Kol coordinates all four, with its own people, and answers for the whole.

01 / 04

AI and Technology

The sales system doesn't talk to inventory, so someone re-types the numbers. The systems get connected, and what stays running is an assistant that answers from the company's own data, the automation of that re-typing, and a dashboard people open every morning.

  • A map of the company's systems and data: what exists, where it lives, what doesn't connect.
  • Integrations between sales, inventory and billing, so nobody re-types data.
  • Assistants that answer from the company's own data, with controlled access.
  • Dashboards that update themselves and get opened every day.

02 / 04

Strategy Consulting

The company has grown, and decisions are still made the way they were when it was small: on whatever information is at hand, with no order of priority. A diagnosis of the whole company, priorities backed by data, a plan in stages. Succession included.

  • A diagnosis of the whole company, built on data, not opinions.
  • Priorities with an owner, a deadline and a measure of success.
  • A plan in short stages, each one measured.
  • Decision governance: the board, the rules, and succession with a plan.

03 / 04

Finance & Accounting

The month's numbers arrive after the next month has started, and no one knows what each product actually earns. Financial and accounting information up to date, with the real margin of each line, and the family's wealth looked at as a whole. We work with the most solid global custodians in the world.

  • The month closed on time, with the real margin by product, channel and customer.
  • Projected cash flow, a budget tied to the plan and a dashboard the owner actually reads.
  • Comprehensive advice on wealth, financial and non-financial, wherever it is held.
  • A complementary CFO or treasurer, with currency hedging and US-dollar purchases.

Marketing, Communications and Design

The brand describes the company it used to be, every channel says something different, and nobody can say which one sells. Identity, communications, channels and content with the margin next to them, and production assisted by AI.

  • An identity and brand system that say what the company is today.
  • Communications held to one standard across every channel.
  • Channels and content measured against sales, not reach.
  • AI-assisted production, reviewed by people.

Changing the price list touches all four units.

  • AI and TechnologyThe list lives in the invoicing system, the online store and a spreadsheet, and all of them have to change.
  • Strategy ConsultingWhich clients get the new prices first, and which ones wait.
  • Finance & AccountingWhat margin is left at the new price, product by product.
  • Marketing, Communications and DesignHow it's announced, through which channel, and with what argument.

Each company works on its own app.

Projects, tasks, calendar and a chat with the Kol team, in one place. What gets decided in a meeting becomes a task with an owner and a date.

Sample data shown.

Audit, strategy, implementation, measurement.

  1. The whole company: people, systems, data, numbers. Written down, not in anyone's head.

  2. What gets solved first and what waits, decided with data and with the owner. The plan fits in one meeting.

  3. In stages of weeks. Each stage ends with something in use: a dashboard, a process, a system.

  4. Each stage is measured against the criterion set before it started. Whatever falls short gets fixed before moving on.

Companies that work with Kol.

It stays until it works.

Kol is a consultancy for business owners and their families in Argentina and the region, based in Buenos Aires. It thinks through the strategy and builds it, with AI and technology at the center of the work and its own people across the four units. For someone abroad, it is a counterpart that knows the ground and speaks the language.
