FLEXIBLE SERVICE PLANS
Customize a frequency and level of engagement which you feel comfortable with!
Leverage the Flexibility!
With flexible service plans, you can try-out a service frequency and level of engagement which you feel comfortable with and then decide what works for you. At ACS, we can accommodate most needs. Given below are some generic plans which could be customized for the individual needs of any client.
Part-time on-site, full-time offsite
The consultant typically visits client’s office once or twice a week and coordinates with client’s accounting/finance team remotely on all other days. This plan is the closest thing to hiring a full-time CFO that a business can have. The consultant acts, feels and behaves like a full-time employee and is thus able to provide a long-term focus.
This plan results in massive savings and much enhanced efficiency & effectiveness.
Part-time on-site
The consultant typically visits client’s office once or twice a week or once or twice a month (depending upon the need). On all other days, the client’s accounting/finance team works under the guidance provided during the visits.
The consultant ensures quality through a continuous process of training and systems implementation. This plan normally results in an even lower cost than the other options.
Systems Development Assignment
The consultant is engaged for a limited time (ranging between one to six months). The consultant works to develop processes, implement systems and train teams with an objective to build in-house capacity.
At the conclusion of the Systems Development Assignment, the consultant is relieved, and client’s team begin to perform independently.
Project Based
The consultant is engaged for a specific project. Examples would include managing the financial aspects of a large-scale project or handling an acquisition/merger transaction.
Upon completion of the project, the consultant is relieved.
