Our Story

SOAR Partners was founded by Greg Arend, a retired Deloitte Partner who was blessed with an extraordinary career serving clients of all sizes, industries, and project types. His experience, particularly working with large federal government agencies during times of great crisis, was both exciting and financially rewarding. However, he found himself unfulfilled and believed he was called to use his skills and experience for Kingdom purposes by serving federal, state, local, and county agencies, nonprofits, and other organizations that exist to support vulnerable populations. Greg believes that these types of organizations— which often find it difficult to access the level of talent and experience offered by larger firms—deserve equal, if not greater, access to leading insights and proven expertise to help them achieve their missions.

Since launching SOAR Partners in 2020, the firm has grown exponentially, delivering a wide range of engagements to a client roster that has benefited from the team’s passion for serving others with distinction. Every member of the SOAR Partners team embodies a servant leadership mentality as the firm continues to build a culture of excellence under the direction of Chief Operating Officer, Brooklyn Cadwallader, who developed her leadership skills through years of training at Chick-fil-A and has worked alongside Greg for the past five years. At SOAR Partners, our culture centers on serving others with quality, delivering meaningful value in every project, and ensuring that every client becomes a reference for our work.

Lastly, we believe, as stated in 1 Chronicles 29:14, “All gifts come from You, O Lord, and from Your hand we have given to You.” Guided by this principle, we passionately give back by supporting nonprofit clients through both in-kind and cash donations, targeting 10% annually. We strive to set an example for our staff and clients by “walking the walk” as a Kingdom-oriented business.

This is SOAR Partners.
