Good to know

Common questions.

How do your fees work?

Most work is a fixed fee agreed before we start, paid monthly. Interim roles are charged by the day. There are no success fees or hidden expenses.

Is my business too small?

We usually work with companies of 10 to 200 people and £2m to £40m turnover. If you’re smaller, the intro call is still free and we’ll point you to the right help.

Who will actually do the work?

The partner you meet leads the work and is on site with you. We don’t hand you over to a junior team.

Is our information kept confidential?

Yes. We sign a confidentiality agreement before you share anything, and we never name clients without permission.

Do you work on site or remotely?

Mostly on site, especially at the start. Weekly updates and finance work can be remote.

How long does an engagement last?

A diagnostic takes three weeks. Most projects run two to six months. You can stop at the end of any stage.

Not sure which you need?

Most clients start with a diagnostic. Book a call and we’ll tell you what would help most.
