Who we are
Started by a small team of economists with a strong passion for Fresno, FIER aims to bring accessibility to the complex world of data analysis, empowering businesses to make bold, informed decisions.
Here at FIER, we recognize that the traditional “high-level” approach often excludes many stakeholders from the conversation, which is why our team is dedicated to delivering granular “in the weeds” insights and strategies for navigating the uncertainty of today’s economic landscape.
Fresno’s economy is unlike any other. As the fifth-largest city in the world’s fourth largest economy, our region is uniquely positioned for growth, which is why we believe in taking a hyperlocal approach to private consulting.
Our mission is to empower businesses, individuals, and organizations to grow and thrive by producing actionable, high-quality research and data-driven insights tailored to their unique needs. Schedule a free consultation today and leverage our expert guidance.
