After years of collaboration, the two firms unite to deliver expanded ERP, AI, and business operational expertise to mid-market manufacturers and more.
KDG, a leading provider of business advisory, technology, accounting, and artificial intelligence services, announced the acquisition of Square Foot Consultants, a leading Pennsylvania-based provider of business advisory, technology, and ERP consulting services to mid-market manufacturers.
After many years of working together, the acquisition integrates Square Foot Consultants’ deep expertise in business process improvement, business intelligence, artificial intelligence, and organizational training into KDG’s portfolio of specialized expertise. Together, the combined team will offer expanded capabilities designed to help organizations streamline manufacturing operations, data, ERP systems, and execute strategic initiatives with greater clarity and confidence.
“After five years of collaboration, it became clear that our combined potential far exceeded what we could achieve as independent entities. Square Foot’s deep proficiency in manufacturing technology, ERP, and artificial intelligence complements KDG’s existing scale and service diversity,” said Kyle David, CEO of KDG. “This acquisition isn’t just about expansion; it’s a strategic alignment of cultures that reinforces our commitment to growth driven by excellence, rather than growth for its own sake.”
Square Foot Consultants has built its reputation by developing systems, processes, and protocols and building durable competitive advantages for manufacturers working alongside leadership and employees to analyze workflows, eliminate data silos, and create sustainable systems that teams understand and can maintain long term. This hands-on, collaborative philosophy closely aligns with KDG’s own approach to client partnerships and long-term value creation.

They bring a depth of expertise and a client-first mindset that aligns perfectly with how we serve. Adding strong, experienced professionals to our team doesn’t just increase capacity – it elevates the quality, insight, and impact we’re able to deliver to every client.”
Nate Shaffer, President of Square Foot Consultants, spoke of the acquisition: “Over the years, we’ve been intentional about partnerships, knowing our clients place enormous trust in us to help guide their strategy, operations, and technology decisions. In KDG, Square Foot saw a partner that shares a genuine commitment to client success, collaboration, and practical outcomes. What excites me most about this transition is what it unlocks for our clients. Square Foot clients are gaining access to a broader network of talented professionals across technology, business consulting, accounting, and artificial intelligence, as well as experience spanning a wide range of industries. That expanded pool of expertise will enable us to move faster, solve more nuanced challenges, and bring more durable solutions to the table. We’re confident this transition will create meaningful gains for the companies we serve and position us to support them at an even higher level moving forward.”
