Services

Consulting packages with a defined scope, deliverable and fee.

Each package is small enough to approve without a procurement cycle and complete enough to stand on its own. Combine them when one leads naturally to the next.

The packages

Durations are typical for one business unit or company code. Scope and fee are confirmed in writing before work starts.

Questions about packages

Why fixed fee?

You know the cost before you start, and the incentive is to finish. If the scope changes materially, the fee is re-agreed in writing before any extra work.

Can you work remotely?

Yes. Most work is remote, with on-site days for workshops and readouts when that helps.

What do you need from us?

A sponsor in Finance, a few hours with the people who run each process, and read access to a test or sandbox system for pilot work.

Do you implement SAP Group Reporting?

Not as a lead. Garrett's focus is general ledger, close, reporting and planning. For consolidation work he can recommend specialists.

Not sure which package fits?

Describe the problem in a sentence or two and you will get a straight answer, including when the answer is that you do not need a consultant yet.
