Principal Advisor, Blackspire Advisors
Andrew Leggett leads Blackspire Advisors as a senior advisory resource for business owners, CFOs, operators, and leadership teams evaluating where avoidable costs, vendor leakage, payment inefficiency, workflow friction, and overlooked recovery opportunities may be reducing profitability.
Blackspire Advisors is built for leaders who want a confidential, senior-level review before committing internal resources or engaging narrow vendors. The firm focuses on practical cost-reduction opportunities, margin recovery, vendor and spend review, tax credit and recovery areas, payment efficiency, and AI-assisted workflow cost reduction.
Today, Blackspire operates as a focused advisory practice — working with a select number of clients at any given time, maintaining direct involvement in every engagement, and avoiding the conflicts that come from scale, product mandates, or institutional volume targets.
"Cost reduction should not start with a vendor pitch. It should start with a clear, confidential review of where money, time, and operating leverage may be leaking from the business."
— Andrew Leggett
Most companies are built to operate, sell, and serve customers — not to continuously audit every recurring cost, vendor contract, tax opportunity, workflow bottleneck, payment process, and recovery category. Over time, profit leakage becomes normal.
Blackspire Advisors exists to provide the senior judgment, discretion, and structured review needed to uncover those opportunities and help leadership act on them.
"Senior advice should be senior advice. Not senior marketing."
You work directly with senior advisors — not handed off to associates after the initial call. When you need guidance, you reach the person who actually knows your situation.
We tell you what we actually think — not what you want to hear. If your situation isn't right for our approach, we'll say so. We'd rather build long-term trust than short-term engagements.
We work with a limited number of clients at any given time. This isn't exclusivity for prestige — it's the only way to maintain the depth of involvement that serious advisory work requires.
Your business, your finances, your challenges — all handled with complete discretion. We don't share client information, use it for marketing, or discuss specifics without explicit permission.
Engagements are structured around results — not hours billed or reports delivered. We're interested in what happens after the engagement, not just during it. Your success is the measure of our work.
We don't earn commissions, receive referral fees, or have relationships that compromise our recommendations. Our only interest is getting you the right result — whatever that requires us to tell you.
We're selective about engagements — not for prestige, but because serious advisory work requires the right conditions to produce results.
If you're unsure whether your situation is a fit, a direct conversation is the quickest way to find out — and there's no obligation either way.
