Listed and private companies — usually mid-cap to large — across export-heavy and regulated industries. Most clients share three things: something concrete at stake (a contract, target, deadline or financing), a CFO-led decision process, and a preference for one multi-year relationship over a series of projects.

Both. Strategy and reporting engagements typically run as fixed-scope projects (4-9 months). Embedded advisory runs as multi-year retained engagements at agreed cadence.

With a 30-minute conversation. We size the problem, confirm we are the right fit, and either propose an engagement or point you elsewhere. We do not pitch work we cannot defensibly deliver.

Engagements are scoped and fee-quoted. We do not work on a time-and-materials basis. Embedded advisory is priced on annual retainer.

Senior partners lead and run engagements. Our model does not depend on associate leverage.
