Strategic consulting

I do not work with every company that asks.

I work with a few, over months, with real access to the numbers. If you are looking for a one-off advisory session, I am not the right person, and I would rather say so before you spend your time.

Who it is for

  • Companies with sustained revenue that have hit a ceiling the market does not explain.
  • Groups operating in more than one country with a corporate structure that grew without a plan.
  • Companies with falling margin despite stable revenue: the classic symptom of an operation that has become more expensive than the business.
  • Owners who want to stop being the bottleneck in their own company.

Who it is not for

  • Projects at the idea stage, with no revenue and no operation to examine.
  • Anyone looking for capital raising, financial intermediation or investment products: that is not my activity and I do not carry it out.
  • Anyone whose main need is tax advice or company incorporation. That falls to regulated firms, with whom I coordinate when a project requires it.
  • Anyone expecting results without changing anything about how they operate today.
Method

How the work is done

Four phases. None begins until the previous one has produced written conclusions.

  1. 01 Examination
  2. 02 Diagnosis
  3. 03 Redesign
  4. 04 Follow-through
Fees

Fees

Fees are set per project after the initial examination, based on scope and the jurisdictions involved. There is no hourly rate and no published packages: committing to a price before seeing the operation would mean selling a diagnosis that is already written. The first conversation is not billed.

€1,000/hour

This is the reference rate. Engagements are closed as fixed-scope projects on that basis, not billed by counted hours: nobody wants a consultant with an incentive to make the meeting longer.

The initial fit conversation is not billed.

Request a conversation

Requests that include enough detail to assess fit are answered. Those that do not, are not.
