Pricing built around how the work actually gets done.
No fixed price list. Every engagement is shaped to scope, complexity, and seniority mix. Below is how the three commercial models work, what is typically included, and where the cost lands relative to building the same capacity in-house.
Commercial Models
Three ways to engage.
Most engagements start as a project or retainer and move to an embedded team as scope grows. There is no minimum lock-in beyond the agreed term, and we have moved clients between models mid-engagement when needs change.
Priced per FTE-month, blended by seniority and skill mix.

Included
LBO, DCF, merger, and waterfall modeling built to your firm's standards and templates
Priced per committed hours per month, blended rate.
Fixed monthly hours at 50%+ utilization with a named resource. Used by clients with predictable but part-time analytical needs (periodic reporting, ongoing monitoring, recurring deliverable cycles) without the cost of a full-time commitment on either side.
One-time or short-term engagements (a single model build, a sector deep-dive, a counterparty diligence pack). We scope, agree fees, and deliver. No retainer commitment, no minimum spend. Often the entry point for clients who later move to retainer or embedded models.
For qualifying prospects, we run a focused two-week pilot engagement on a discrete deliverable. No lengthy scoping, no commitment beyond the pilot. You see real output, working with our team, before signing anything.
For most institutional benchmarks (US and UK tier-1 finance hubs), a Concentric FTE-month lands at 30 to 60% of the fully loaded cost of an equivalent in-house hire, including salary, bonus, benefits, real estate, infrastructure, and management overhead. Exact economics vary by seniority, geography, and skill mix.
Pass-through items, called out upfront.
Third-party data subscriptions (Bloomberg, Capital IQ, and similar) used on client work, travel for in-person diligence trips, and specialist software licensing are pass-through at cost. All such items are agreed and itemized in the engagement letter. No surprise invoices.
