Audit

First we count, then we agree terms

An introduction, a free audit, a presentation with numbers - and only then a contract. You start paying at the fifth step, and only out of what has grown.

3–5 working days for the audit · UAH 0 until profit grows

The order of things

Five steps, and what each one needs from you

The first three steps cost nothing and commit you to nothing. If you decide not to continue after the presentation, the calculations stay with you and we part ways.

01

Introduction

Half an hour of conversation: what the business is, where it hurts, what you want to achieve. If we are not a fit, we say so here, not after the audit.

Takes 30 minutes From you a conversation Outcome a decision on whether to go on
02

Free express audit

We look at sales, procurement, pricing, the funnel and supplier contracts. If we keep your books, half the data is already in hand and the timeline is closer to three days. Complex cases take longer, and we warn you in advance rather than keeping quiet.

Takes 3–5 working days From you access to the data Outcome a picture of where money leaks
03

A presentation with numbers

We show the targets we plan to reach and what they will cost you. For each target: spend, risk, a chart and specific actions. You sign nothing until you have seen this document.

Takes one meeting From you time for questions Outcome targets, costs, risks, actions
04

KPIs and the contract

We fix targets for three, six and twelve months, the baseline, the percentage and the limits of authority. The baseline is the average of the preceding months, so a seasonal spike is not credited to us.

From you a decision Outcome a contract with figures in it
05

Work and the monthly report

The report arrives in the same form as the presentation: same targets, same scale, with the actual line added. You can see what was promised and what was done.

Rhythm every month From you decisions reserved to the owner Outcome a report and an invoice drawn from the growth

Audit

Why it is free

Not out of generosity. Without the audit we cannot name a percentage - there is nothing to calculate it from. And it is our own filter: this is where it becomes clear whether we can earn alongside you.

What we need from you

Access to data on sales, purchasing and prices. If we keep your books, we take our own - all we need from you is consent.

How much of your time it takes

One conversation at the start and one meeting at the end. In between we work through the figures ourselves.

What you receive

A presentation with targets, costs, risks and actions. It stays with you whether or not we sign a contract.

How the audit can end

With an offer to work together - or with a plain refusal and an explanation of why we would not earn here. The second does happen.

Report

One page per target

This is what a page from the presentation and from the monthly report looks like - one form, so that each time you compare promise with delivery instead of reading a new document.

Target: raise the margin of a key area from 18% to 26% Illustrative example
Target
Margin of the area at 26% by the end of month six.
Current state
Margin of the area at 18%. Counterparty prices have not been revisited in over a year, and discounts are granted with no corridor.
How to read the scenarios
Three routes to the target follow. Each has its own investment and its own risk - you choose, and we work out the consequences of each choice before the start.

Chart

Actual Plan

Actual: 18 → 19 → 21 → 24%. Plan for month 6: 26%.

3–4 scenarios

A · Cautious

We revisit prices and terms with the counterparties you already have. Nobody is replaced.

Investment
UAH 40,000
Result by month six
margin 22%
Profit growth
+UAH 90,000/mo

Low risk: nothing gets broken, and at worst we stay at 18%.

B · Standard

Plus a tender among new counterparties and a discount corridor for managers.

Investment
UAH 120,000
Result by month six
margin 26%
Profit growth
+UAH 230,000/mo

Medium risk: some counterparties will refuse to renegotiate and the timeline shifts by a month.

C · Fast

Plus replacing some counterparties and a dedicated person on this process.

Investment
UAH 350,000
Result by month six
margin 31%
Profit growth
+UAH 420,000/mo

High risk: changing a counterparty means a 2-4 week pause in supply.

Payment

You pay out of what you earned

A share of profit growth. Not of turnover, and not of the margin you already have without us - of the difference between what was there before our work and what is there now. There is no fixed component: no growth, no invoice.

Monthly profit before we start
UAH 100,000
After three months of work
UAH 300,000
The growth the percentage is calculated on
UAH 200,000

The exact percentage, how long it applies and the baseline are named after the audit and fixed in the contract for the whole term. The example above shows how the calculation works, not the rate.

Covered by our fee

  • The work of the whole area team
  • The audit and the presentation at the start
  • The monthly report and the review of results
  • Negotiations, tenders, renegotiating contracts

Your budget, not our invoice

  • Advertising and promotion
  • Buying goods
  • Your employees' salaries
  • Duty, logistics, bank charges

We name all of these costs in the presentation before the start - together with the targets, not as the work goes along.

Contract

What it pins down in figures

Everything that otherwise becomes an argument in month six. We talk it through before signing, even when the conversation is uncomfortable.

Baseline

The average of the preceding months. Fixed before the start and not revisited.

The percentage and how long it applies

How much we receive from the growth and for how long - after the target has been reached.

Targets for 3, 6 and 12 months

With figures and deadlines, not a phrase like «increase sales».

Limits of authority

What we decide, what the owner decides, and what is decided jointly. The company's money stays at your disposal.

Let us start with the audit

3–5 working days, free, no obligation. We will show where the company loses money and what can be done about it. If we see that we cannot deliver, we will say so plainly.

The next step is a half-hour introduction. We need the phone number to agree a time.
