How we work

Scoped and dated before work starts.

Most work starts with an assessment or a single project. We connect to your systems and pull the data ourselves, so the work takes little of your team’s time. The monthly retainer is optional and can follow any project.

Ways to work together

Start with one piece. Keep what works running.

Fixed fee

Assessment

The work
Review how planning, reporting, cash, and systems work today, with your leadership and finance team.
You have
A view of what works, the gaps, and the priorities, agreed with you.

Fixed fee

Project

The work
Build one of the things we build from your systems, testing the assumptions with you in working sessions.
You have
A model your team updates, or a larger build that refreshes from your systems.

Monthly, optional

Advisory

The work
A session on results against plan and the decisions they raise. We can also keep what we built running and checked against the books.
You have
An outside view each month, alongside your own.

How a project runs

From your systems to a working routine.

For a focused project: first findings within two weeks, a working version within four, and a running routine within eight, depending on access to systems and the quality of the data.

Orient
The decision, the owners, the systems involved, and the gaps in the data are agreed before building starts.
Reconcile
Definitions, source boundaries, and discrepancies are worked out with your team and made visible.
Build
The model, forecast, or reporting is built from your systems and tested with you in working sessions.
Hand over or keep running
Your team runs and updates what we built, or we keep it running and checked against the books.
