Service Areas
Yost Group provides consulting across four core disciplines — each grounded in the same standard of rigor and accountability.
Structured oversight of complex programs — from planning and execution to monitoring, reporting, and close-out.
Rigorous research that produces clear, actionable findings — not just data dumps. We synthesize complexity into decisions.
Advisory support for organizations navigating transitions, growth, or operational challenges that require an outside perspective.
End-to-end web and application development — from architecture and backend APIs to polished, production-ready frontends.
Why Yost Group
Our work is shaped by a career of executing under pressure, delivering for clients, and owning the outcome.
Rick's Army background brings a standard of precision and accountability that corporate consulting firms talk about but rarely deliver. Plans are executed. Commitments are kept.
Project Management Professional certification backed by real-world program experience — not just credentials on a wall. We manage complexity without losing sight of outcomes.
Yost Group is SBA-certified as a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, making us eligible for SDVOSB set-aside contracts and sole-source awards at qualifying thresholds.
You work with Rick — not a junior analyst or account manager. Every engagement gets the same senior-level attention and commitment from day one to close-out.
The Consultant
Rick Yost founded Yost Group in 2012 after a career in the U.S. Army that built the foundation for everything the firm does today: mission clarity, disciplined execution, and a commitment to the people you're serving.
He has led programs and provided consulting across government, nonprofit, and commercial sectors — bringing the same precision to a strategic planning engagement as to a complex multi-year program.
Yost Group LLC is certified by the SBA as a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business. Federal agencies and prime contractors seeking to meet SDVOSB contracting goals can engage Yost Group through set-aside and sole-source vehicles.
