FIND is a boutique because it wants to follow a limited number of clients, taking care of them as best possible and offering them all the support they need to reach and exceed their goals.
FIND is independent because this is the best condition for it to work in the best interest of the customers without bias.
FIND is performance, where this term does not only indicate that part of the agency's remuneration is linked to the concrete business results achieved. It also indicates the objective of making client companies 'perform', i.e., able to fully seize the growth opportunities that FIND will generate.
