About us

We've worked inside the problems we're now hired to solve.

Accuity was founded by accessibility practitioners who have worked alongside the organizations we now serve. That experience shapes everything about how we approach this work.

Our founding

Why we started Accuity

Most accessibility consulting is organized around delivering data in the form of audits, reports, or remediation tickets. The work gets done, the invoice goes out, but three months later the same problems are back.
We started Accuity because we'd seen that pattern too many times. Not because organizations didn't care, but because they lacked the internal structure to sustain progress. No clear ownership, no repeatable process, and no way of knowing whether things were actually improving.
"An audit without a system behind it is just a list of issues that will need to be audited again."
So we built a practice organized around a different question: rather than asking "what's broken?" , we want to know "why does it keep breaking?" The answer is almost always structural, and that's where our work begins.
Our team brings direct experience from in-house accessibility programs, federal compliance work, and product development at organizations that had to figure this out the hard way. We know what good looks like because we've been inside organizations that achieved it.
Our philosophy

What we believe about this work

These are the principles that shape how we scope engagements, give advice, and decide what to recommend.

Structure over heroics

Sustainable compliance comes from repeatable systems, not exceptional effort by individuals. We build the former so you're not dependent on the latter.

Clarity before action

Organizations that skip diagnosis and go straight to fixes end up solving the wrong problems. We insist on understanding the situation before recommending anything.

Plain language, always

Accessibility requirements are technical. Our job is to make them legible to the people who need to act on them, rather than demonstrating how much we know.

Risk is a real thing

We don't soften findings or bury problems in qualifications. Leadership needs honest information to make good decisions, and that's what we provide.

Capability, not dependency

The goal of every engagement is to leave your organization more capable than we found it, rather than positioning ourselves as a permanent requirement.

Accessibility is a design problem

It's not a legal checkbox or a QA phase. The organizations that get this right treat it as a fundamental constraint on how products and services are built.

Our methods

What working with us looks like

We're direct and focus on making things actionable. We produce clear, actionable deliverables and independent findings your team can trust.
01
We tell you what we found clearly and candidly.
You get an accurate picture of where you are, prioritized around what to do next.
02
We work with your constraints.
Regulatory timelines, limited staff, competing priorities. We factor these in rather than delivering plans that can't be executed.
03
We translate, not just report.
Findings come with context and next steps in language your team can act on without a separate interpreter.
04
We measure by what changes.
The goal isn't a deliverable, rather it's a meaningfully improved situation. That's what we hold ourselves accountable to.
