IT consulting for small businesses
Most small businesses add software one subscription at a time. After a few years, nobody is sure which tools overlap, who still has access to what, or what would happen if a laptop went missing. We review what you have and give you a short, written plan in order of priority.
This is a good fit if
- You pay for several tools that do similar jobs.
- Former staff or freelancers may still have access to company accounts.
- Nobody is sure where important files live or whether they are backed up.
- You are about to hire, move or switch software and want to get it right the first time.
What’s included
- An inventory of your accounts, software subscriptions, domains and devices
- A review of who has access to what, including former staff and freelancers
- Checks on sign-in security, backups and email setup
- A written report with recommendations ranked by cost, effort and risk
- Help choosing tools and comparing vendor quotes
- A follow-up call to walk through the plan
Typical projects
- A one-time technology review and written plan
- Choosing a CRM or project management tool and planning the switch
- An offboarding checklist so departing staff lose access the same day
- Cutting duplicate software subscriptions
How it’s priced
Usually a fixed-price project, quoted in writing after a free consultation. Follow-up help is billed hourly or covered by a monthly support plan.
The first consultation is free, and nothing is charged until you approve a written proposal.
How pricing worksQuestions about IT consulting
No. We recommend tools based on fit and cost. If we would ever earn a referral fee from a recommendation, we tell you before you buy.
A list of the tools you pay for (card statements help), a screen-share session with whoever manages your accounts, and about an hour of your time for questions.
If you want us to. The plan is yours either way: you can do the work yourself, give it to someone else, or hire us for some or all of it.
