Raison d’Être

Chester & Fourth is the brainchild of a group of McMaster University alumni who wanted to do consulting differently.

Our founding idea was to bridge the gap between academia and practice by being proficient in both areas; foster positive and authentic relationships with clients and consultants; and deliver high-quality solutions at more reasonable prices and faster turnaround times than competitors.

In short, we set out to build a workplace that unlocks human innovation, rather than stifling it with antiquated, profit-driven rules.

 

What started as a one-person business in 2021 with a single service offering has since evolved into an incorporated advisory firm, with prominent clients in several countries and a steadily growing network of like-minded professionals from around the world.

Whether by accident or design, we have found a particularly receptive audience for our services within the philanthropic sector.

 

As we move into the next phase of our development, we hope to inspire more mission-driven organizations and leaders to think beyond the next quarter and invest in initiatives that provide lasting guidance, resilience, and inspiration.
