Three Ways to Work Together
Advisory Engagements Designed Around Where You Are Now
Three distinct engagements — each with a clear scope, a fixed price, and something written to take away. You choose the one that fits your situation.
Back to HomeOur Methodology
How We Approach Every Engagement
Before any structured work begins, we take time to understand your actual situation — not a templated version of it. We read what you share, ask questions before the first session, and come prepared.
We treat every session as a conversation between two people who each have something useful to contribute. You know your business. We know how to look at it from outside with experienced eyes.
Every piece of thinking we do with you is documented. Nothing is left to memory or goodwill alone.
Listen First
We spend the opening of every engagement understanding your situation before offering any view. We are not there to confirm ideas we already hold.
Map the Whole Picture
We look across finances, operations, and direction together — not just the area that feels most urgent. Small business problems are often connected.
Agree on Priorities Together
We do not hand you a list of actions. We work through the options with you and agree on what to focus on, in which order, and why.
Document and Hand Over
Every engagement ends with something written — yours to keep and act on at your own pace, long after our time together ends.
Engagement 01
Common Ground Session
RM 700 · Single Engagement
A single engagement to establish where we both stand and what matters most to you. We talk as equals, map your situation, and agree on a few sensible priorities. Suited to owners who are cautious about being sold to or who want to test the water before committing to a longer engagement.
What's included
- One working session (in person or video)
- Pre-session questionnaire to focus the conversation
- Short written situation summary
- Clear, unpressured list of next steps
Best suited for
Owners who want an honest outside perspective without a long commitment. Also suitable as a starting point before deciding whether a deeper review makes sense.

Level Review
RM 1,900 · Five Weeks
A five-week engagement to look honestly and evenly across your whole business. We examine finances, operations, and direction without favouring any agenda. Aimed at owners who want balanced, impartial guidance on where to direct their attention and resources over the coming period.
What's included
- Document and information review before sessions begin
- Two structured advisory sessions over five weeks
- Detailed written report covering all three dimensions
- One follow-up session to discuss the report findings
Best suited for
Owners at a decision point — expanding, restructuring, or wanting to understand why certain things are not working as expected. Also suitable for owners who have never had an outside perspective on the whole business.

Engagement 03
Standing Together
RM 3,380 · Six Months
A six-month advisory relationship built on equal footing. We meet monthly, hold your plans alongside you, and decide together. For owners who want a true thinking partner rather than a distant consultant who appears once a year.
What's included
- Monthly one-on-one advisory sessions (six total)
- Quarterly reviews of direction and progress
- Ongoing written communication between sessions
- End-of-engagement written summary and forward plan
Best suited for
Owners navigating a significant period of change — growth, transition, or difficulty — who want a steady, reliable thinking partner throughout. Not for owners who want someone to manage things for them; this is for those who want to remain in control while thinking better.

Across All Engagements
Professional Standards We Apply to Everything
Full Confidentiality
Nothing you share is passed on or used in any form without your explicit written permission.
No Commission or Referral Fees
Our only income comes from the engagement fee. We do not receive payments for referring you to other services.
Prepared Advisors, Every Session
We review relevant information before every meeting. Sessions are not used to catch up on things we should have read beforehand.
Price Never Changes Mid-Engagement
The price agreed at the start is the price that applies throughout. There are no additional invoices for work within the agreed scope.
No Dependency Created
Our goal is to leave you more capable of thinking independently, not to make you reliant on continued advice from us.
Prompt Communication
Questions sent to us between sessions receive a response within one business day during normal office hours.
Clear Pricing
What Each Engagement Costs
All prices are fixed and inclusive. There are no add-ons, no hourly overruns, and no surprises.
