Fees
Pricing follows the intensity of the advisory work — fixed diagnostics where scope is clear, retainers where the integration horizon is measured in months.
Fees are informational. We do not take online payment. Every engagement begins with a written statement of work.
How we price
Integration work varies with the number of sites, the maturity of the synergy thesis, and whether we are on the floor weekly or reviewing remotely. We quote after a scoping conversation. The figures below are indicative starting points in New Zealand dollars, excluding GST and travel.
Pre-Deal Integration Diligence
Fixed-scope diagnostic with a board brief. Duration typically three to five weeks.
From NZD 28,000 project fee
Cultural & Leadership Alignment
Workshop series and follow-up coaching for combined executive teams.
From NZD 18,500 package
Synergy Tracking & Value Capture
Monthly challenge and board pack support while commitments are harvested.
From NZD 9,500 / month
Post-Merger Integration Programme
Flagship engagement. Retainer reflects days on site, workstream count, and horizon.
Quoted monthly retainer
Carve-Out Separation Support
Separation planning and TSA input scoped to the division and shared-service complexity.
Quote-based
What influences a quote
- Number of legacy organisations, sites, and workstreams
- Whether an Integration Management Office already exists
- Required on-site presence versus remote facilitation
- Board or investment committee attendance cadence
- Sector conflict checks and confidentiality demands
Deposits and billing
For fixed-fee projects we invoice fifty percent on commencement and the balance on delivery of the agreed brief or workshop completion. Retainers are billed monthly in advance. Travel outside Christchurch is billed at cost with prior approval.
What we will not do
We do not offer “Starter / Professional / Enterprise” software-style tiers, and we do not discount by packaging the same programme three ways. If scope is unclear, we propose a short paid diagnostic rather than a hopeful large retainer.
Talk through numbers
Request a conversation with the transaction stage and rough organisation sizes. We will say quickly whether we are a fit and what a realistic fee band looks like.
