A consulting firm focused on practical strategy and operational clarity.
We started Wesley Bradley Paul Group to bridge the gap between strategy and execution. Too often, corporate playbook theories never take hold in actual operations or sales. We work as active partners focused on practical alignment.
Whether a business is stuck on a growth plateau, struggling with communication breakdowns, or needs an experienced outside perspective on tough decisions, we bring structured thinking to clear the logjam.
Narrowing priorities so capital and attention go where they produce results.
Getting sales, marketing, and field operations on the same plan.
Building accountability so things actually get done, day by day.
Keeping every part of the business moving forward.
"Strong businesses need clear priorities, aligned leadership, and disciplined execution. Consulting shouldn't create dependence or deliver opaque playbooks. It should be grounded, honest, and useful right away."
If a frontline employee can't understand the goal, it's too complex. We strip out unnecessary corporate architecture.
Decisions without ownership die fast. We make sure every milestone has a named owner and clear tracking metrics.
As advisors to founder-led firms, we work behind the scenes. We protect our clients' data, structures, and decisions.
We skip the high-concept presentations and theoretical exercises. Every strategy we write boils down to a 1-page playbook focused on what to do next.
We bring years of real-world experience directly to your firm's bottlenecks. We have led companies, structured capital, and managed difficult team transitions.
Our recommendations are modular. We start with low-risk operational changes to build traction before recommending larger capital projects.
We don't measure success with satisfaction surveys. We measure it by whether your core numbers are moving in the right direction.
Managing Partner & Founder
Wesley Bradley Paul Group was founded by Omar Paul Strohm, a public finance executive and operational strategist from Altoona, Pennsylvania. After more than two decades directing public sector finances, labor negotiations, and municipal administration, Omar saw that private-sector business owners run into the same problems: operations that strain under growth, capital allocation challenges, and leadership fatigue.
For more than twenty years, Omar provided executive financial and administrative leadership to the City of Altoona. He served as Finance and Human Resources Director, Deputy City Manager, and then City Manager, where he stabilized municipal operations, managed major capital projects, and guided the city out of its long-standing Act 47 distressed financial designation.
Omar is currently Associate Vice President of Finance and CFO at Pennsylvania Highlands Community College, where he brings fiscal governance and structural clarity to multi-departmental business offices. His local service includes board-level work with the Altoona Blair County Development Corporation (ABCD Corp), Vice-Chair of the Altoona Water Authority, and membership in the International City/County Management Association (ICMA).
Omar holds an MBA from Saint Francis University, a Master's in Industrial and Labor Relations from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, a Master's in Community and Economic Development from Penn State, and a Bachelor's in Political Science from Penn State. His background in finance, labor relations, public administration, and organizational psychology forms the basis of the firm's advisory approach.
"Sustainable success comes down to fundamentals. We work with business leaders to remove administrative friction, establish fiscal health, and leave their organizations stronger than they found them."
Our clients usually reach out when they hit a point that needs an outside perspective and some discipline.
When owners are preparing for a sale, succession, or merger and need to clean up operations to maximize value. We help scrub the metrics and put clean practices in place.
When money is going into marketing but organic sales are stalling or customer retention is dropping. We audit the conversion pipeline to find and fix the leaks.
When teams are working long hours but projects keep coming in late, over budget, or failing quality checks. We trace the problem and simplify the process.
When the founder is the single point of failure. If you can't step away for two weeks without things slipping, you need an accountability system.
Let's schedule a 30-minute call. No sales pitch, no pressure. Just a straightforward conversation about what's holding your company back.
