Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our engagement model, timelines, and approach.

How long does a typical engagement take?
That depends on scope. A governance audit might run 8–12 weeks. M&A due diligence typically spans 4–8 weeks from kick-off to final report. Crisis management starts immediately. We'll provide a clear timeline during our initial consultation.
Do you work with organizations of all sizes?
Yes. Our clients range from mid-market companies ($50M–$500M revenue) to larger enterprises. We tailor our engagement approach and resource allocation to fit your organization's size and complexity.
Can you start an engagement on short notice?
Absolutely. For M&A due diligence and crisis management, we can mobilize within days. For governance audits, we typically recommend 2–3 weeks of preparation to ensure thorough planning.
What does the pricing model look like?
We offer fixed-fee engagements, time-and-materials, and retainer models depending on scope and duration. Pricing is transparent with no hidden costs. We'll provide a detailed proposal before work begins.
Do you provide ongoing advisory or only project-based work?
Both. Many clients engage us for specific projects (M&A, governance audit) and then maintain ongoing advisory retainers. We work flexibly based on your needs.
