    Frequently asked

    What are MPE Consulting Group's practice areas?
    Four primary practices: financial consulting (capital readiness, tax strategy coordination, credit posture, estate and family office coordination), government contracts (registrations, capture strategy, teaming, proposals), construction management (PMO stand-up, project controls, owner's representation), and emergency management (emergency operations plans, continuity of operations, exercises, grant-condition documentation). Governance, risk and compliance and technology and AI operations support all four.
    Where is MPE Consulting Group located?
    Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, serving the Atlanta metro — including South Fulton, Henry County, Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Clayton, Fayette, and Rockdale — with engagements delivered nationwide.
    Who leads MPE Consulting Group?
    Michael Polynice, EMPA, CPD, CEM — Managing Partner & Co-Founder. His public-sector and program background spans transportation, emergency management, oversight, and municipal government.
    What makes MPE different from other Atlanta consulting firms?
    Senior-led engagements with no junior hand-offs, fixed-scope engagement letters instead of open hourly billing, and evidence-ready deliverables — memos, control registers, and documentation packages designed to survive review.
    How do I start working with MPE?
    Request a consultation at /schedule or /contact. Every engagement starts with a written scope naming deliverables, owners, assumptions, and timeline, and work begins only after that scope is approved.

    Four primary mandates

    One firm. Four practices. One delivery standard.

    Each practice is led by a senior practitioner and delivered against the same method: assess the risk, architect the structure, execute with named owners, and leave behind evidence.

    The MPE delivery system

    Assess. Architect. Execute. Evidence.

    How engagements begin

    1. A 30-minute consultation with a senior practitioner — no sales handoff.
    2. A written scope naming deliverables, owners, assumptions and timeline.
    3. Work begins only after you approve the scope in writing.
