🧠 Leadership Team
We've Done the Work — Now We Systemize It
The KPS Group is led by a team of seasoned operators who've lived both sides: the corporate grind and the entrepreneurial fire. We've advised the biggest, cleaned up the messiest, and built the systems that turn chaos into control. We're not here to sell fluff — we're here to fix what's broken, and scale what works.
👨💼 Karson Lawrence
Systems Architect | Financial Strategist | Ex-Big Tech Operator
Karson is the founder and visionary force behind The KPS Group and the entire Modern Suite. Before stepping into the small business arena, he spent a decade inside Big Tech, managing high-value enterprise accounts for PwC, IBM, and Microsoft. That experience sharpened his skills in system architecture, enterprise operations, and strategic finance — all of which now inform his work rebuilding Main Street businesses from the inside out.
Track Record:
- • 10 years in big tech managing Fortune 500 accounts
- • Background in systems thinking, ops architecture, and account profitability
- • Fractional COO and turnaround advisor to dozens of service-based firms
- • Creator of Modern OS, the comprehensive business management platform powering the Modern Suite
Karson sees through the noise and targets the root. Whether it's cash flow confusion, bloated headcount, or a complete lack of visibility — he brings the strategy, structure, and software to fix it.
"My job is to build the system the owner wishes they had 5 years ago — and make it scalable.

Track Record:
- • Former VP of Sales across multiple 7-figure field service firms
- • Expert in objection handling, deal psychology, and performance accountability

"Sales isn't magic. It's a math equation most companies haven't solved."
👩💼 Allie Banks
HR Compliance Expert | Payroll Veteran | Enterprise-Grade Operator
Allie brings enterprise experience with small business empathy. She spent nearly a decade leading operations inside ADP, where she managed payroll, compliance, and HR support for thousands of employees. At The KPS Group, she translates that rigor into lean, automated back-office systems for small business teams.
Track Record:
- • Former ADP senior account lead for national accounts
- • Direct experience with complex payroll, W-2/1099 compliance, PTO tracking, and benefits
- • Designs all onboarding and compliance flows for Modern Pay

Allie ensures your business isn't just operating — it's protected. From the first hire to the final paycheck, she builds the guardrails most small businesses skip.
"Structure creates freedom. And most teams are drowning in the absence of it.

💡 Our Why
We didn't create The KPS Group to offer services.
We created it because we saw business owners being told to "scale" without being handed a system — or the truth.
We believe:
You can't grow what you don't understand.
Finance isn't just reporting — it's strategy.
Your ops should run even when you're not there.
We don't sell fluff.
We install infrastructure.
The Modern Suite isn't a vendor. It's your outsourced back office — with real operators behind it.
