About NMC

An advisor who has actually
run the operation.

One advisor, for MSPs, cloud and hosting providers. I’ve carried the pager, signed off the payroll, and lived with the fallout of every call, so the advice comes from doing the job, not studying it.

Why NMC exists

I’m Nathan Carroll. Before starting NMC, I spent years inside the channel, not observing it, running it. I built and modernised the platforms, owned the security posture, sat on the on-call rota, and carried the P&L. I know what it feels like to weigh a risky migration against a delivery deadline, and to price a service without being sure the margin is really there.

Over those years I kept seeing the same gap. The advisors who understood the commercials couldn’t go deep on the technology. The technical experts couldn’t read a profit-and-loss statement. So owners got half-answers, a slick pricing model that ignored the technical debt underneath, or an elegant architecture that no one could actually sell.

NMC exists to give the whole answer: technical, commercial and security, from one person who has had to join them up in the real world.

Today I work with a small number of MSPs, cloud and hosting providers who want a senior, independent advisor in their corner, someone who has been where they are, will tell them the truth, and has no product to sell them at the end of it.

That last point matters. I take no commissions and no reseller kickbacks from any vendor. My only interest is what’s right for your business.

Where I go deep

Three disciplines, one advisor.

Most advisors own one of these. Running the business meant I had to own all three, and joining them up is exactly where the value is.

Platform

Cloud & architecture

Multi-tenant platform design, cloud migration and modernisation, technical debt, and the cloud cost decisions that quietly decide your margin.

Protection

Security & compliance

Security posture, Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001 readiness, and turning compliance from a cost you dread into a service you sell.

Profit

Commercial & operations

Service design, tiering and pricing, proposition and go-to-market, plus the operational reality of running a profitable, sellable provider.

How I work

A few things I won’t compromise on.

01

Operator to operator

Plain language and real numbers, MRR, churn, margin, tiers. No jargon dressed up as strategy, no lectures.

02

Independent, always

No vendor commissions, no reseller kickbacks. I recommend what’s right for you, not what pays me.

03

Fixed scope, clear outcomes

You always know what you’re getting, what it costs, and when it’s done. No open-ended retainers you can’t measure.

04

Advice you can act on

Practical recommendations grounded in delivery, not theoretical frameworks that look good in a deck and die on contact.

05

Honest about fit

If you don’t need me, I’ll say so. A short, straight answer is worth more to both of us than a padded engagement.

06

Confidential by default

Your numbers, your architecture and your plans stay between us. Nothing gets used or named without your say-so.
