Meet Our Principal — Kevin Lacey
At the helm of Mariner Consulting Group Inc. is Kevin Lacey, a CPA and MBA with a deep-rooted passion for helping inventory-based businesses navigate the complexities of growth. With over two decades of experience in finance, operations, and technology, Kevin brings a unique blend of strategic insight and hands-on problem-solving.

Under his leadership, we help clients take control of their operations and finances by implementing smarter systems that unlock profitability, improve decision-making, and reduce costly inefficiencies. He’s not just a consultant—he’s your trusted advisor, guiding you toward clearer data, smoother workflows, and more confident leadership.
What We Do — From Spreadsheets to Seamless Systems
Mariner Consulting Group Inc. helps small to medium-sized inventory businesses take control of their operations and finances by providing visibility into the metrics that matter most. We specialize in implementing accounting and inventory software solutions that optimize cash flow, reduce carrying costs, improve sales efficiency, and streamline inventory turnover.
Our work often starts when a growing business realizes their spreadsheet isn’t cutting it anymore—or when they realize they’ve been oversold on a massive, overbuilt software system they don’t actually need.
We typically work with two types of clients:
- The Spreadsheet Survivors
These businesses started small and managed inventory in Excel or Google Sheets. But as their operations expanded, so did the complexity—and suddenly those DIY methods became a liability. We help them transition to powerful, easy-to-use inventory software that scales with their business and integrates seamlessly with QuickBooks or other accounting systems. - The Oversold and Overwhelmed
These companies were pitched high-end inventory or ERP systems that cost a fortune, require steep learning curves, and deliver way more than they’ll ever use. We help them cut through the noise, scale down, and implement the right-sized solution—saving them thousands of dollars every year in subscription fees, consulting hours, and wasted time.
We do it all—from start to finish.
From system selection and configuration to full integration with your accounting tools, we manage the entire process so you don’t have to. We’ll migrate your data, train your team, and ensure your new inventory system works the way your business actually runs. No generic solutions. No confusion. Just a seamless transition—and clear support every step of the way.
Because the true cost of inefficiency isn’t just money—it’s missed opportunities.
Let Mariner Consulting Group help you set a new course.
