Monthly counsel retainers
Board advisor (4 days a month) · Executive advisor (8 days) · Enterprise advisor (12 days), continuous commitment rather than episodic calls.
01
Counsel for boards and owners, and restructuring that gets executed.
We work beside chief executives, owners, and boards on decisions that leave no room for error: leadership transition, decision rights, the restructuring of administrative, financial, and operational processes, and liquidity when it tightens. Deliberately few mandates at a time, and a small senior team on each.
From real mandates
An illustrative model drawn from real mandates: a distributor with SAR 90m revenue cut its collection period from 100 to 70 days within ninety days, freeing about SAR 7.4m of cash once against a SAR 240k fee, recovered in under six months. Figures are disguised for confidentiality.
How it is priced
The monthly counsel retainer is priced in declared days: 4, 8, or 12 days a month, a commitment the advisor is measured against, not an estimate. Scoped programmes carry a fixed fee written before work starts.
What we do
The 90-day plan
A rapid diagnostic, then an execution plan with priorities, owners, and dates, delivered to be executed, not presented.
Governance and decision rights
Who decides what, within which limits, and on what record: a delegation of authority, a decision matrix, and a meeting rhythm that outlives the mandate.
Board and shareholder communications
Board materials, periodic performance reporting, and shareholder messages at sensitive moments.
Restructuring diagnostic
Reading the business as it is, administratively, financially, operationally, and deciding what is fixed, merged, or closed.
Working capital and liquidity
The cash cycle from order to collection, and clearing the bottlenecks before they become a crisis.
Due diligence
Seven integrated workstreams with a three-tier team, closing with an IC-ready memo.
Regional headquarters in Riyadh (RHQ)
For foreign companies deciding on a regional headquarters: the decision before the licence, entity structure, scope of authority, and what is actually run from Riyadh. We write about it in The regional headquarters: the decision before the licence.
Frequently asked questions
How long does an advisory mandate take?
It depends on the form: monthly retainers are a continuous commitment of defined days per month (4, 8, or 12), while fixed-scope programs such as the 90-day plan have a known start and end set out in the written scope.
What is the difference between a retainer and a fixed-scope program?
A retainer buys continuous senior time against recurring decisions. A fixed-scope program buys a specific deliverable with a delivery date: a plan, a governance framework, or a restructuring diagnostic.
Do you execute the recommendation or only write it?
The approach ends with a recommendation we defend before the board, and where conviction is real the Group invests its own capital on the principles it advised.
