Services & Pricing

Everything behind the scenes, and what it costs.

We work in whatever way fits — a long-term retainer, interim cover, a one-off project, or simply on call — scaling up and down as your needs change.

How we work, and what it costs.

Below is everything we do, with a day-rate guide for each. We work with clients in whatever way suits the task — on a rolling monthly retainer, an interim contract, a one-off project, or simply on call — and you can scale that relationship up or down as your needs change. Most clients work with us across more than one of these.

Not sure where your need fits? Tell us what you need — we’ve almost certainly done it before.

Day rates run from £250 to £450, depending on the nature and seniority of the work involved; the figure shown against each service is a guide to where it usually sits. Where the work is ongoing, we agree a fixed monthly retainer in advance, so costs stay predictable through your busier and quieter periods.

/And All Sorts

If it keeps the work running, we probably do it.

And where the right tool doesn’t exist, we design bespoke ones built around your needs.

The full range

Plenty doesn’t sit neatly under one heading — settlements and royalty pools, cashflow modelling and board packs, audit prep, data migration, and the day-to-day policy and process work that keeps everything compliant. If you can name it, chances are we’ve done it before.

Tools & systems

We’re fluent across the software too — from straightforward bookkeeping tools to time-management systems and full ERP — setting them up, migrating your data and keeping them running.
