CHENANGO COUNTY - This week, Commerce Chenango would like to highlight Akshar Consulting, LLC, a security consulting and government relations firm. Founded in 2019 by Frederick J. Akshar, II, Akshar Consulting, LLC has revolutionized security consulting and government relations work to encompass the growing needs of private business owners, school districts, professional organizations, community organizations, not for profits and corporations.

Akshar brings more than 22 years of law enforcement and government related experience to his clients. Akshar is the principal at the firm, with his wife, Jessica serving as the managing partner. Jim Conrad is also a partner with expertise in security.

“I am a Chenango County boy, through and through.” Akshar states. “I grew up in Afton and chose to stay in the Southern Tier region to work and raise my children. I love being in this community, and if I can bring my knowledge and the benefits of our firm to help other people, we stand ready to do that.”

The firm offers: Risk/Threat Assessments, Workplace Violence/Active Shooter Training, Staff Development Training, Leadership Training, Physical Asset Security, Event/Personal Security as well as Government Relations.

According to Akshar, “Akshar Consulting is comprised of trustworthy, professional and highly experienced team members that have a unique set of skills that they have developed through their decades of law enforcement experience.” He states, “In an ever-changing world, where security threats continue to impact daily operations, decisions and outcomes, our commitment to safety and positive outcomes for our clients is second to none. With a proven track record of safety and customer satisfaction, the team continues to adapt in an ever-evolving environment, remaining focused on the needs of our clients.”

Akshar Consulting, LLC is a 24/7 business, recognizing that security related concerns as well as emergency issues arise, and that their clients deserve a response  no matter what the time of day.

Although much of Akshar Consulting, LLC’s work is generated by word of mouth, the nature of the work on the security side of the firm puts them in the public eye. Akshar Consulting, LLC receives visibility when providing security related services  for events such as the Dicks Sporting Goods Open, Spiedie Fest, Southern Tier Music Fest or the Watkins Glen Balloon Rally. 

Going into 2025, the firm is looking to expand their footprint into Chenango County and beyond. “We recognise that there are companies, not for profit organizations, school districts and so many others that have needs in the security and government relations spaces.” Akshar claims. “We are ready to bring our services to future clients so that we can adequately address their needs.”

The firm’s most important resource is their team's ability to leverage relationships that we have built over 24 years of public service. Akshar claims, “The fact that I have spent the last 24 years of my life, in my professional capacity working in the southern tier region gives me a unique perspective to be able to address the needs of our clients.”
