Onsite ConsultantsRemote Projects
“Try a potential hire
on a project first and
see who not only
delivers but fits with
team culture”
Both processes are account managed throughout with a clear
and constant feedback loop to ensure great delivery
• A remote project is when the client
and consultant do not work from the
same location
• Great for clearly defined research or
strategy projects with finite deliverable
• No project considered too small
• Remote projects are charged on a
milestone basis
• Prices for a remote project are
calculated on a fixed deliverable basis
• Invoices are raised in instalments
• An onsite consultant will come and
work in the office with a project
manager or team
• Onsite Projects are more appropriate
if a greater level of implementation as
well as analysis is required
• Onsite consultants charge on the
basis of time using a day or weekly
rate
• Invoices are raised at the end of each
month

“We used MBA & Co prior to an acquisition within a highly niche market. The service immediately
understood our requirements and very quickly provided us with a shortlist of experts from whom to select.
We engaged a consultant and within days had the report delivered. We found the service to be highly
professional and responsive to our needs and have since asked them to help on other projects as well”
Ian Cooper, Chief Operating Officer – Risk Solutions
“MBA & Co is my first port of call for those difficult to find skills at short notice, be they consultants with
airport sector experience or language specific consumer interviews. Fast to respond, flexible and lateral
thinking, MBA & Co has supported Armstrong in delivering results in numerous difficult circumstances,
often against demanding deadlines”
Tom Raymond, Director
“I used MBA & Co in China and they were the only provider able to source a great consultant for a
strategic review of one of our portfolio companies. The project went so well that we hired the same
resource for a second piece of work. They have a very flexible and good value offer”
Jorge Felippe, Principal
“MBA & Co sourced a highly relevant industry expert in a narrow niche market, who was able to quickly
produce a report containing industry insider insight for significantly less than a blue chip consultancy”
Ed Lunken, Investment manager
