Capital City Consulting was founded in Tallahassee in 2003 by Nick Iarossi, Ron LaFace, Gerald Wester, and Pat O'Connell.

Nick Iarossi, Ron LaFace Jr., and Rodney Barreto are the firm's current owners.
The firm's practice areas include appropriations, business regulation, civil justice reform, criminal justice, economic development, education, emergency management, environment, financial services, gaming, government purchasing and procurement, healthcare, information technology, insurance, local government consulting, political consulting, and transportation.
Yes. Alongside its state lobbying practice, Capital City Consulting is one of Florida's largest local government consulting practices. Its Tampa, Miami, and Ft. Lauderdale/Palm Beach offices are staffed by former county and municipal officials, county administrators, and public sector executives who work with local governments and with clients who need to navigate them.
The firm has 28 partners and consultants across its four offices. Most came from leadership roles in state or local government or political campaigns, including former legislative staff, agency executives, a former state attorney, and former officials at the Departments of Financial Services, Business and Professional Regulation, Management Services, and Emergency Management.
