Defined scope. Fixed fee.Finished.
Not everything needs an ongoing arrangement. Some things need one experienced person to come in, do the work properly, and leave you with something that stands up.
Book a call →Scoped up front, priced up front
You tell me the problem. I come back with what’s actually involved, what it costs, and how long it takes, before you commit to anything. If the scope changes, we agree that before the work happens rather than after the invoice.
Fixed fee, not day rate. A day rate rewards me for taking longer, which is a strange thing to build into a relationship.
What is HR project consultancy?
HR project consultancy is defined-scope people work delivered for a fixed fee rather than an ongoing retainer: a restructure, a policy rewrite, an HRIS audit, a compensation review, a piece of employee relations casework. You agree the scope, timeline and price before the work starts.
What people bring me
Restructures and redundancy
Consultation run properly, the process documented, and managers who know what to say in the room.
October 2026 harassment duty
Risk assessment, policy, training and the reporting route. A fixed-fee package that closes the whole obligation.
Policy and handbook rewrites
When what you have is out of date, contradictory, or inherited from a company you no longer resemble.
HRIS audit and rescue
An implementation that stalled, or a system nobody trusts because the data in it is wrong.
Employee relations
A grievance, a disciplinary, a performance process. Run properly by someone who has done hundreds.
Engagement surveys
Including the part everyone skips, which is deciding what you’ll actually do with the answers.
Org design and headcount planning
Usually before a raise, after a raise, or when spans of control have quietly got out of hand.
Settlement and difficult exits
Handled cleanly, alongside your solicitors, without it becoming the story the rest of the team tells.
If yours isn’t on this list, it probably still fits. Ask.
Four steps, no surprises
What founders ask
How much does a project cost?
It depends entirely on scope, which is why you get a number before you commit rather than an hourly rate and a hope.
What if we don’t know what we need?
That’s most first calls. Describing the symptom is enough; working out the actual problem is part of what you’re paying for.
Can a project turn into something ongoing?
Often. A fair number of fractional clients started with one piece of work and kept going. There’s no obligation either way.
Do you work with our solicitors?
Yes, and I’ll tell you when something needs them. The legal advice is theirs, the process and the people work are mine.
