How we work

Four delivery models, one engagement process, and a fee built from your actual workload. You do not need to work out where you fit — that is what scoping is for.

Delivery models

Four ways an engagement is structured

The model follows the work: how much of it there is, how sensitive it is, and whether it recurs or finishes.

Shared Support

Smaller businesses · selected functions

Shared specialist capacity with a named engagement contact and defined deliverables. The most economical way to cover a function that does not justify a hire.

Managed Multi-Function

Growing companies · several functions

Integrated service across selected modules with coordinated service management and a single accountable delivery lead.

Dedicated / Enterprise

Higher volume · complex operations

Reserved or dedicated team capacity, tailored controls, enhanced service levels and enterprise governance.

Custom Project

Bounded work · fixed scope

Registration, cleanup, migration or catch-up work delivered against defined milestones for a fixed or scoped project fee.

Final capacity, transaction volumes, service levels and pricing are established during scoping and documented in the Service Order. We do not ask prospects to self-classify against internal thresholds — tell us your volumes and we will place you.
The engagement process

From first conversation to steady state

We do not mobilise on a handshake. Scope, volumes, dependencies and service levels are settled in writing first — that is what makes the service measurable afterwards.

Scoping conversation

Thirty to sixty minutes on your processes, systems, volumes and entities. We identify what genuinely needs to move and what should stay with you.

Written proposal and Service Order

Selected functions, delivery model, included capacity, deliverables, service levels, dependencies, term and fees — all in writing before you commit.

Transition and onboarding

Discovery, process mapping, data validation, access provisioning, knowledge transfer, pilot, parallel run and cutover.

Stabilisation

Inherited issues — undocumented processes, unsupported balances, poor master data — are surfaced and a remediation plan agreed before substantial extra work begins.

Operate, report and improve

Delivery against agreed measures, monthly reporting and a governance rhythm sized to the engagement. No material change without your approval.

Scoping variables

What shapes a quote

Fees are built from workload, not headcount alone. A company with few employees but heavy transaction volume, several entities or a regulated environment costs more to serve than its headcount suggests.

The factors that determine capacity and price during scoping
Factor Why it matters
VolumeEmployees, accounting transactions, IT users and devices, customer interactions, purchase orders, filings
StructureNumber of legal entities, branches, operating locations, currencies and bank accounts
CoverageOperating hours, night-shift or weekend cover, language requirements, onsite presence
Risk and controlRegulated industry, enhanced control environment, security requirements, service-level commitments
Starting conditionHow current the records are, and how much remediation is needed before steady state
TermEngagement length and the minimum commitment appropriate to the model

How fees are charged

  • Recurring fees are billed monthly in advance
  • Variable and time-based charges are measured monthly and billed in arrears
  • Project fees are milestone-based
  • An onboarding fee covers transition, proportionate to the engagement
  • All fees are exclusive of VAT unless expressly stated
  • Rates are reviewed annually or on renewal, on written notice

Never bundled into the fee

  • Government fees, penalties and interest
  • Software, cloud and licence subscriptions
  • Telecommunications and media spend
  • External counsel, auditors and specialists
  • Travel, courier and notarial charges
  • Dedicated equipment and secured workspace

These are prepaid or reimbursed at cost. Any administration fee on pass-through costs is disclosed separately — never buried in the rate.

When you grow

Room to move without renegotiating everything

Volumes rarely rise in neat steps. Your engagement includes an allowance, a monitored band above it, and a flex arrangement for temporary spikes — so a busy quarter does not force a permanent change. Sustained growth triggers a capacity review and a phased move to the appropriate model, on rules stated in your Service Order rather than applied at our discretion.

Volumes can move down as well as up. Where they stay below the lower thresholds for a sustained period and no dedicated-resource commitments remain, the engagement can be revised downward.

We run the process. You keep the decisions. Licensed professional work stays with the appropriate practitioner. See Trust & Governance →
