ABOUT US

Chief Executive and Financial Officer, Brian Egana, formed Circular Consulting in 2007. For more than 15 years, Circular Consulting has been proud to utilize the Representative Constituent Model, focusing first and foremost on addressing client needs and interests.


Circular Consulting is proud to have supervised the single largest transformation of public housing in the history of the United States, has provided program, project, and construction management support for budgets upwards of $100 million, and continues to be a key player in infrastructure, development, management, compliance, and more.


Circular provides a wide range of business consulting services. Across each industry, our team of experts conveys the interests and objectives of our clients to vital stakeholders, giving you a competitive advantage. The professionals at Circular not only offer you the opportunity to establish lucrative, long-term business relationships in the New Orleans Metropolitan Area and the Gulf Coast Region, but also the confidence in knowing that we are accountable and that the job can and will be done.


Circular is recognized as an effective local government relations liaison and has earned the reputation for identifying and quickly resolving bureaucratic impasses, often resulting in the employment of hundreds of local workers in large municipal projects. We bridge the communication divide between our clients' missions and the projects they seek to achieve. We are experts at assessing a group’s legislative needs in order to properly research and prepare briefs that advance your goals by drafting and advocating legislation for funding. A defining component of our firm’s success is our ability to build strong coalitions of elected officials and invested stakeholders.

 

With our extensive experience in compliance monitoring for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, we work to ensure that CDBG program funds are appropriately utilized to provide services to our most vulnerable communities through the creation of jobs, the expansion and retention of businesses, and in providing affordable housing. We follow a detailed plan that encourages citizen participation. Notably, Circular is a leader in coordinating, organizing, and hosting community charrettes emphasizing participation by persons of the intended impact area.

 

Just as the CDBG program is an important tool for helping local governments tackle serious challenges facing neighborhoods, outstanding compliance monitoring and reporting is also crucial and has been a focus of Circular Consulting, LLC. Our team is proud to play an integral role in assuring that grantees are developed and that they are also met.
