packs and prices
Every pack includes the rhythm: a one-page report, a monthly meeting I run, and answers between meetings. Packs run from $1,000 to $10,000 a month, ex GST, month to month.

For the stretches when a lot has to change at once.
On site when it's useful. Each pack says how much.
I take on a small number of businesses at a time, and your days are booked ahead.
Works alongside your accountant or virtual CFO: they own the books and the forecast, and I build the plan on them.
Dial up with a week's notice: move up a pack, or add days for a busy stretch. Move down or stop with 30 days' notice. No exit fees. Unused days roll over.

what a month of the rhythm looks like
The numbers pulled and checked, the one-page report written, the plan kept current.
Decisions made, owners named, next month set.
Actions chased, and the plan updated with what we decided.
Questions answered between meetings, usually within a business day.
We meet for an hour.
The rest happens around it.
ways to start
Both are one-off and ex GST, with the price agreed before I start. If a pack makes sense afterwards, you'll know which one and why. Smaller team? The 90-minute AI working session, $500 ex GST, is the smallest way to start.
$4,000 fixed, ex GST
Suits: owners who'd rather see it properly before committing to a pack. It doesn't commit you to anything.
A day in your business and a day on the numbers, then a 90-minute read-out.
What you get: one page
$2,000 fixed, ex GST
Suits: businesses with an IT provider, a stack of subscriptions, or both, and nobody senior checking.
I go through your IT provider's contract, your licences and every subscription.
What you get: a keep, cut or renegotiate list
The money is usually in the IT provider contract. The time is in the software.
I've negotiated seven-figure IT contracts as the buyer, and run the managed services business on the other side of the table. Before antics · amaysim and The Missing Link.
ai working sessions
You bring the problem, and we spend 90 minutes on it: which job, which tool, who checks the output. Up to 10 people can join a session. If there's more worth doing, you get a one-page plan and a price.
AI sessions vs the rhythm
AI working sessions
You bring the problem, we work it through.
The rhythm, in every pack

The usual path
The usual path I plan for: start at two days, settle at one, step down to the rhythm, then stop. The goal is the month you don't need me.
Security basics in every pack. Each pack's first 90 days includes a check of your security basics against the government's Essential Eight: backups, access, MFA and patching. Formal assessments go to a specialist.
questions
Eight hours in or on your business. A day can be split into two half days. On site means Sydney metro.
No. Every price on this page is ex GST. GST is added to each invoice at the usual 10%.
They roll over to the next month. The detail is in your agreement.
The same day every week, on site. Some months have four of that day and some have five; the price stays the same.
Yes. Move up a pack or add days with a week's notice. Move down or stop with 30 days' notice. No exit fees.
Yes. Builds, training and anything with a fixed scope get a price before they start. The two ways to start are fixed price too. Small jobs are $250 an hour, ex GST.
The pack price plus GST, and nothing else unless you agree to it first. On the usual path I plan for, that's $5,000 a month for the first 90 days, then $3,000 to $5,000 while we build, then $1,000, then nothing. Year one comes to about $42,000 to $60,000, ex GST.
