Earl used to be the entire IT department.
He built the firm he needed back then.
Jacksonville, Florida. Founded 2010. Business Growth & Risk Advisors for the businesses where compliance, reliability, and trust aren’t optional.
Built by the guy who used to get all the calls
Before Cydian Group, Earl Kelly was a one-person internal IT department — the whole thing. Every outage, every password reset, every “is this email real?” landed on one desk: his. He knows exactly what it feels like to carry a business’s technology alone, because he did it.
He founded Cydian Group in 2010 on a simple conviction: the businesses that need real technology leadership most — surgery centers, law firms, insurance agencies, manufacturers — are the least likely to have it in-house. They don’t need another vendor. They need the advisor who asks about the business first and carries the whole picture.
Fifteen years later, that’s still the model. A Florida native, a Jacksonville firm, and a team that picks up the phone — working with businesses where compliance, reliability, and client trust decide whether you grow.
If you have one overloaded IT person — or you are that person — we were built for you.
The convictions behind every recommendation
Anticipate, don’t react
The best incident is the one that never becomes your Monday morning. We work ahead of problems, not behind them.
The business comes first
Technology exists to protect margin, reputation, and time. If a recommendation doesn’t serve the business, it doesn’t get made.
Earn trust with clarity
Plain English, honest answers, and reasoning you can see. If we’re not the right fit, we say so.
Never stop learning
AI changed the job — and it keeps changing. Staying ahead of it for our clients is the whole point of the name Foresight.
Regulated businesses in Northeast Florida and beyond
We work with the businesses where a technology decision is never just a technology decision — it’s a compliance question, a client-trust question, and sometimes a career question. That’s not a burden to us. It’s the specialty.
Home base is Hendricks Avenue in Jacksonville, serving Duval, St. Johns, Clay, and Nassau counties — with clients wherever regulated work gets done.
