Questions
Before the first call.
How big does a company need to be?
Most clients have between 20 and 200 people and an owner who is still in the day to day. Smaller than that, a good bookkeeper and one afternoon with us is usually enough.
What does it cost?
An operations review is a fixed $18,000. Everything else is priced on two pages after the first call. We do not bill by the hour.
Do you work on site?
For a review, yes: at least four days with your team. After that most work is remote, with a visit each month.
Will you tell us to buy software?
Rarely. Most companies already pay for tools that would do the job if someone set them up properly. We do that first.
What happens when the project ends?
Your people run it. We check in at thirty and ninety days at no charge, and you can call any time.
