Your Partner in Practical Growth

Palmetto Advisory Partners was founded on a simple belief: Every growing business encounters friction.

Growth creates complexity. Processes that once worked begin to break down. Communication becomes more difficult. Technology struggles to keep pace. Leaders spend more time reacting than leading.

We exist to help businesses remove that friction.

Meet the Founder

After more than twenty years leading teams and improving operations across human resources, technology, communications, and organizational strategy, Andrew Smith founded Palmetto Advisory Partners to help growing businesses operate more effectively.

Andrew believes the best consulting begins with curiosity.

He approaches every engagement with a genuine desire to understand how a business works before recommending how it can improve.

His passion lies in helping founders remove operational friction so they can spend less time reacting and more time building the business—and life—they envisioned.
