Engagement and pricing

We earn more when you do.

Instead of selling consulting days, we tie our fee to your measurable success: a lean, predictable base retainer plus a clearly capped share of the value we create together — settled each quarter.

How the fee is built

Two components: predictable and success-based.

Fixed · monthly

Base retainer

from €990 net / month

Covers the ongoing financial steering and gives both sides predictability. Included:

  • monthly management report
  • updates to the agreed forecast
  • one management meeting of up to 90 minutes
  • a dedicated contact and ongoing alignment
  • limited ad-hoc questions and minor adjustments

All fees are net plus statutory VAT.

Variable · per quarter

Success share

10–25 % of the measured value

A clearly capped share of what we demonstrably achieve. Based on:

  • a baseline fixed together at the start
  • measurement each quarter (three months)
  • only demonstrably attributable value
  • joint sign-off before every invoice
  • a cap on top, the base retainer as the floor

Exact level and cap in your individual offer.

How we measure →
Shared upside

Most of the value we create stays with you.

Our success fee is a clearly capped slice of the value we measure together each quarter. By far the largest part stays in your business — plus a lean, predictable base retainer.

Illustration of the principle. The exact share and a cap are agreed in advance in your offer.

What it is based on

What counts as value.

Liquidity freed up

Less capital tied up through optimised working capital — shorter receivable cycles, aligned payment terms and leaner inventory.

Lower financing costs

Renegotiated terms, avoided overdraft interest and well-prepared communication with the bank.

Higher profitability

Better project and customer margins through pre- and post-calculation and consistently steering out unprofitable work.

Process costs saved

Less manual effort through data integration and automated reporting.

Receivables secured

Faster incoming payments and avoided defaults through consistent receivables management.

Only what demonstrably results from our work and is jointly documented counts.

Measurement and attribution

From baseline to the quarterly result.

Baseline

At the start we fix the baseline value for each metric in writing — usually the average of the past twelve months.

Measurement window

One quarter, i.e. three months. After each quarter we establish the delta against the baseline together.

Attribution

Only the share that demonstrably results from our work counts — documented cleanly, not estimated.

Recurring effects

For lasting savings, such as interest, the share applies once to the annualised effect — not on an ongoing basis.

Cap and floor

The success share is capped on top; the base retainer is the reliable floor.

Sign-off

Every quarterly statement is signed off together before it is invoiced — no surprises.

Worked example

How the share is derived.

Illustration · not an offer

A simplified example.

Suppose a quarter demonstrably frees up €100,000 in liquidity. At an agreed share of 15 %, a one-time success share of €15,000 falls to us — the remaining €85,000 stays entirely in your business.

Purely to illustrate the logic. Actual figures, the agreed percentage and the cap are set in your individual offer; no specific outcome is promised.

Prefer full predictability?

Also available as a fixed price.

Success-based model

A lean base retainer plus a quarterly success share — for companies that want our fee tied to shared success.

Fixed-price model

A one-time setup phase plus a fixed monthly retainer, without a success share — for maximum predictability. We discuss scope and order of magnitude in the initial call.

Scope

Not included.

  • tax and legal advice
  • ongoing bookkeeping and annual accounts
  • software licences and tools
  • travel and third-party costs
  • larger special analyses or projects

Software, travel, external data sources and larger special projects only by prior agreement and in writing.

Pricing FAQ

Common questions about the model.

How is the value measured?
At the start we fix a baseline for each metric, usually the average of the past twelve months. After each quarter we compare the actual value with that baseline and establish the delta together.
What if an effect is not attributable to us?
Then it does not count. Only the share that demonstrably results from our work and is jointly documented flows into the success share.
Is there an upper limit?
Yes. The success share is capped; the exact cap is set in advance in the offer, so the fee stays predictable for you.
What does the base retainer cost?
It starts at a lean fixed monthly amount and depends on scope and complexity. The exact level is set in the individual offer.
Is a pure fixed price possible?
Yes. If you prefer maximum predictability, the engagement can be commissioned as a classic fixed price — setup phase plus monthly retainer, without a success share.
How often is the success share invoiced?
Quarterly, each time after the quarterly result has been jointly established and signed off.
Are prices net?
Yes. All fees are net plus statutory VAT.
