Welcome to MSP Northstar.

We are a small team of former virtual Chief Information Officers (vCIOs) with decades of hands-on experience in the IT industry. Throughout our careers, we’ve had the privilege of contributing to exceptional IT operations that propel organizations forward. Unfortunately, we’ve also witnessed the significant challenges caused by subpar Managed Service Providers (MSPs)—from stifled growth to serious risks for businesses. These experiences inspired us to share our knowledge, help others avoid these pitfalls, and ultimately establish MSP Northstar.

Our mission is simple yet powerful: to help organizations navigate the complex world of IT and MSPs with honesty, expertise, and actionable guidance. Our goal is to ensure businesses are in capable hands. We understand the challenges companies face when IT fails to meet expectations, and we are here to help ensure you receive the reliable support you deserve.

What sets MSP Northstar apart is our unwavering commitment to your success. We are not tied to vendor partnerships, sales quotas, or hidden agendas. Our sole purpose is to provide straightforward, real-world advice that aligns with your goals and delivers tangible results.

At MSP Northstar, we are more than advisors—we are your trusted partners. Our goal is to empower your business with the knowledge and expertise to ensure your MSP partner is reliable, effective, fair, and genuinely focused on your best interests.

If you’re ready to take control of your IT, avoid the pitfalls of poor service, and ensure your business has the dependable support it needs, we’re here to help. Let MSP Northstar be your compass in the world of IT. Together, we can chart a course for success.
