Consulting in Miami
Miami is two economies braided together: the hemispheric gateway — trade, banking, and logistics between the US and Latin America — and the newer arrival, the funds and financial firms that moved south this decade and stayed. Both run on relationships and speed; both reward advisers who do the work rather than talk about it.
The local terrain
What actually drives Miami.
Miami has long been the business capital of the Latin American hemisphere: multinationals run regional operations from the metro, PortMiami leads the world in cruise traffic while moving serious containerized trade, and the banking system is built for cross-border wealth and commerce. Onto that base, the 2020s layered a genuine finance migration — hedge funds, private equity, and wealth managers relocating from the Northeast — plus a construction boom repricing the entire urban core.
The strategy questions are correspondingly split: for the arrivals, building an institutional-grade operation in a market with different talent and infrastructure than the one they left; for the incumbents, defending relationship businesses as better-capitalized competitors move in; for everyone, an operating environment where insurance, climate resilience, and construction costs are board-level topics. We work both sides of that ledger.

Questions
Working with us in Miami.
- Do you work in Spanish or with Latin American operations?
- Engagements are delivered in English, but cross-border operating questions — a regional headquarters decision, a Latin American market entry, a distribution footprint — are central to Miami work and squarely in scope. Where deep local-market presence is needed, we scope it honestly rather than improvising it.
- Can you advise a fund or family office that relocated here?
- Yes — as consultants to the firm: operating model, market positioning, growth, and organization. Praxis does not manage assets, does not make personalized investment recommendations, and is not a registered investment adviser; that boundary is explicit in every scope we sign.
