Our business model is based on client satisfaction and finding the right solution, at the right price.
We won't reinvent the wheel nor will we always find an off the shelf solution but through years of effective management, understanding, relationships with suppliers, contacts and expertise we always find the right balance.
Our management of the client requirements allows for effective and efficient delivery through all phases of an objective using whichever methodology or theory is appropriate for the need. All our consultants are friendly, approachable and highly qualified in their area but in addition to project management. As a result we operate in a consistent, professional, structured way, providing high quality review points and feedback to clients on a frequency that suits the clients' need. Whilst a number of firms may opt for a 'big 4' consultancy firm, we believe that we offer a compatible delivery and service at a significantly lower cost.
We do not use sales people and your consultant will remain the main contact, delivery expert, accountable for your objectives at all times.
The level of professionalism, reliability and focused delivery should leave you with a positive outcome. Our fee structure is flexible and adaptable for our clients. We always make sure the best option is selected given the circumstances and demands but if the alternative options calculate cheaper over the cycle of delivery we will switch clients onto a model that is more cost effective. Our upfront, direct model approach is the reason why we continue to be trusted and valued by our clients time and time again.
For example we work with individual IFAs looking to grow their business from nothing to market leading fund managers who manage billions on a daily basis. This diversification is what sets us apart and ensures that all clients are getting the most current relevant information, expertise and support.
