First 5 Hours Are Free

The first 5 hours of my time are free. I use this time to listen, understand your context, and share initial perspectives so we can both determine whether I’m the right fit for your needs.

I genuinely enjoy meeting people who work in and around TBM, ITFM, and FP&A, and I’m happy to have a conversation even if working together is only a remote possibility.

If it turns out there’s a strong fit, we can then discuss an engagement structure and the rate schedule shown in the table.
