MSP & Managed IT Consulting

Independent consulting for companies that run — or rely on — a managed service provider.

MSP consulting and managed IT advisory for mid-market operators. We help business owners get more from their MSP relationship — and help MSP owners run tighter, more profitable shops. No vendor commissions, no reseller markup, no long contracts.

MSP Consulting from Operators Who've Actually Run One

Most "managed IT" content on the internet is written by MSPs trying to sell you a contract. This page is different. Mebuis is led by George Fassett — U.S. Patent holder, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and the former founder-operator of a managed service provider he built and exited. We sit on your side of the table. We do two related things. First, we advise mid-market companies who already have an MSP (or are shopping for one) — evaluating the contract, the actual service delivery, the security posture, and whether the bill matches the value. Second, we advise MSP owners on how to tighten operations, price correctly, reduce churn, and stop leaving margin on the table. Same underlying knowledge, two different buyers. What this is not: we are not a managed service provider. We don't sell you Microsoft licenses, ship you a firewall, or take a kickback from ConnectWise, Datto, N-able, Kaseya, or any vendor in the stack. That independence is the entire point — every recommendation we make is one we'd make if the check were coming out of our own pocket, because for years it was. If you're a business owner: we tell you plainly whether your MSP is doing the job, whether you're overpaying, and what specific gaps to close before they turn into a breach or an outage. If you're an MSP owner: we work on the parts of the business that actually move the P&L — pricing, service delivery efficiency, sales process, tech stack rationalization, and the exit-ready positioning that determines what your company is worth when you're ready to sell. Start with a two-week [Business Assessment](/solutions/business-assessment) — fixed scope, fixed fee, written findings — or [book an operator alignment call](/lets-talk) to talk through what's on your plate right now.

MSP Evaluation for Business Owners

You already have a managed IT provider — but you're not sure if the service level, security coverage, or monthly bill actually matches what you're getting. We audit your MSP relationship from the buyer's side: contract terms, ticket data, response times, patch and backup evidence, security stack, and license markup. You get a written assessment with specific issues, specific fixes, and a benchmarked view of what you should be paying. No sales pitch to switch you to us — we don't provide managed services.

MSP Selection & RFP Support

Choosing a managed service provider is high-stakes and low-visibility. We run selection engagements the same way we run ERP and CRM selections: define your actual requirements (users, sites, apps, compliance, uptime targets), build a short list of MSPs that genuinely fit, structure the RFP so responses are comparable, and sit in the room during the finalist meetings. You end up with the right provider on the right contract — not the one with the best salesperson.

MSP Operations & Profitability Consulting

For MSP owners: we work on the operational and financial mechanics of your business. Service delivery efficiency (ticket routing, escalation, tech utilization). Pricing model (per-user, per-device, all-you-can-eat, or hybrid — and whether yours is leaving 10-20% on the table). Vendor stack rationalization (RMM, PSA, documentation, security tools). Sales process and close rate. Client concentration and churn. Founder-led since we built and exited an MSP ourselves.

IT Strategy & Roadmap for Non-Technical Owners

You run the business. You are not the CIO. But every year you're asked to approve six-figure decisions about cloud migration, cybersecurity spend, ERP timing, and AI tooling — with no independent voice at the table. We serve as your fractional technology advisor: quarterly reviews, budget defense, vendor negotiation support, and a plain-English roadmap that ties IT spend to business outcomes.

Cybersecurity Posture Review

A focused review of the security controls your MSP claims to be delivering versus what's actually in place. Backup verification and restore testing, endpoint protection coverage, MFA enforcement across all critical apps, patch cadence, phishing training, incident response plan, and cyber insurance alignment. Not a penetration test — a governance review that tells you where the real gaps are. Pairs well with our full [Cybersecurity engagement](/solutions/cybersecurity) when deeper work is needed.

MSP Exit Readiness & Valuation Uplift

If you own an MSP and you're within 24 months of a sale, the work you do now determines the multiple. We help MSP owners prepare for exit the way we prepared our own — clean recurring revenue, documented processes, low founder-dependency, contracted (not month-to-month) client base, and a defensible pricing story. Same playbook we used to sell ours. Confidential engagement, founder-to-founder.

Who leads the work at Mebuis?

George C. Fassett, Jr. leads every engagement. He founded and built THUMBTECHS, Mebuis, MebuisWorks, and 1908 Builders, has more than 20 years as a CEO, holds a U.S. patent, is a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and has an MBA.

How is Mebuis different from a traditional consulting firm?

Mebuis works as operators, not report writers. The people doing the work have run companies with real profit-and-loss responsibility, so recommendations are judged by whether they can be carried out by your team, not by how they look in a slide deck.

Who handles implementation after the plan is set?

Mebuis sets the strategy and priorities. Implementation work such as systems, automation, and technology build-outs can be handled by MebuisWorks (mebuisworks.com), the sister company that builds and runs what the plan calls for, or by your own team.

Where is Mebuis located, and do you work with businesses outside Texas?

Mebuis is based at 1908 Lone Star Rd. Ste B, Mansfield, Texas 76063, in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and works with businesses across the United States.
