Precision

At JR&A, we like to think of ourselves as the antidote to common flaws in business advisory services and executive search: meandering meetings; repetition without results; and thick powerpoint decks which lack power and miss the point! Instead, the Founder of JR&A has created a culture of curiosity which motivates her team to understand their clients, the business context and precisely how they measure success.
