Senior commercial judgement, built from running services firms.
Bosch CG advises owners, boards, and leadership teams of IT and professional services firms on profit, growth, and transaction readiness. An independent practice, founded in 2023.
The operator’s perspective
Advice grounded in what actually happens once a decision is executed, not a consultant’s theory of how services firms should run.
Bosch CG is a focused advisory practice. It does not sell implementation projects or packaged products. The work is helping leaders make better commercial decisions earlier, with a clear view of profit, risk, and what the firm is worth. It was founded in 2023 to give scaling firms the kind of senior, operator-grade commercial judgement they rarely have in-house.
Gerben Bosch has carried direct P&L accountability, sat on both sides of the deal table, and worked with boards and investors under growth pressure, margin compression, and transaction scrutiny. That is the perspective Bosch CG brings.
The firm exists to give owners and executives the peer-level challenge they tend to lose as the business outgrows founder-led control.

How Bosch CG works
An independent advisor
Bosch CG works alongside your leadership team as an independent advisor. The engagements support executive decision-making; they do not replace it. Execution stays with management.
The focus is the commercial reality underneath the growth plan: how deals get priced, how staffing decisions move margin, how forward profit gets seen by leadership, and what a buyer or lender would make of the numbers.
Where it sharpens the conversation, the work is supported by Profitdrive, a forward view of firm profit across pipeline, projects, people, and P&L. Profitdrive shows where profit is heading; it is not your accounting system, and it does not replace it. The judgement about what to do with what it shows is the advisory work.
Principles
How we work
Trust and confidentiality
In every engagement and every conversation, without exception.
Practical, grounded advice
Tied to commercial reality and the decision in front of you, not slideware.
Independence of thought
Candid, peer-level challenge, most useful at the moments it is hardest to hear.
Respect for management ownership
The leadership team decides and delivers; execution stays with your team.
A straight conversation, in confidence.
If the business is outgrowing founder-led control, or a sale is somewhere on the horizon, the first conversation is exploratory and confidential. No pitch.
