Strategic Consulting
Retained advisory — weekly calls, strategy deliverables, async access.
Strategic Advisory Retainer
A thinking partner for your hardest decisions.
Why a retainer
Project-based consulting solves a problem and walks away. A retainer gives you a strategic partner who understands your business deeply — someone who can pressure-test ideas on Tuesday, review a board deck on Thursday, and connect dots your team is too close to see. This engagement is designed for founders and leadership teams who need senior strategic input without the overhead of a full-time hire.
What's included
• 20 hours of advisory time per month • Weekly 45-minute strategy call • Async access via Slack/email (24hr response time) • One written strategy deliverable per month • Quarterly business review with recommendations
