How we charge
Time-based
By the hour or by the day, at a rate we agree up front. That suits consultancy, where the question often sharpens as you learn more, and roles where we join your team for a while.
IT consultancy that works as part of your team
Advice from the sidelines rarely moves you forward. So we step in: as an analyst, a part-time programme manager or an IT coordinator. We bring order to your IT landscape, turn your data into better decisions and pass on what we know, so your team can carry on without us.
When IT consultancy helps
You don’t need a big IT problem to bring us in. It often starts with one of these situations.
- Plenty of data, few answers. You have plenty of figures, but they don’t help with the questions that matter.
- Tools that don’t work together. Every department has its own systems, and nobody quite knows any more how it all fits together.
- A project without a lead. An important IT project is waiting, but nobody in your team has the time to lead it.
- Nobody with the full picture. You need someone to coordinate your IT and connect the technology with the business.

Our approach
Assess, embed, optimise
Three phases that take you from an honest picture to lasting improvement.
Assess
We start by listening. We talk to the people doing the work, look at how decisions really get made and map your data, tools and processes. You get a clear picture of what works, what doesn’t and where to start. Honest advice, not a sales pitch.
- Data infrastructure
- Tools and systems
- Workflows
- Decision-making
- Quick wins
Embed
Not just advice: we work inside your team. As an analyst, programme manager or IT coordinator, we know the context, move quickly and take on the technical work. Meanwhile, we pass on our knowledge, so your own team grows stronger.
- Part of your team
- Direct contact
- Hands-on delivery
- Knowledge transfer
Optimise
Your business changes, and your IT changes with it. We track what works, drop what doesn’t add value and streamline your processes and tools. Based on real results, not assumptions. So the improvements keep working, even when we step back.
- KPIs that matter
- Better processes
- Scalable foundations
Working together
You pay for the time we spend
Consultancy is time-based. You deal directly with the people doing the work, with no account managers in between.
Questions about IT consultancy
When should you bring in an IT consultant?
When your data, tools or processes get in your way more than they help. Think of systems that don’t connect, data that doesn’t give you answers, or an IT project that needs someone to keep it on track. We bring clarity, turn options into clear decisions and make sure the work actually gets done.
How do you charge for consultancy?
On a time basis: by the hour or by the day. So you pay for the time we actually spend on your work. You can read about our other pricing models on our page about how we work.
Won’t I become dependent on you?
No, quite the opposite. We take on the technical heavy lifting while transferring knowledge to your team. That way you build your own capability, and your systems and processes keep improving long after we’ve stepped back.
Can you work as part of our team?
Yes. We join your team, for example as a programme manager, data analyst or IT coordinator. Because we know the context, there’s no need for lengthy briefings, and we can move fast when opportunities arise.
Where is your IT getting stuck?
Tell us. We listen first, then give you honest advice on the best next step, even if that step isn’t with us.
