Frequently Asked Questions
Because your specialist is embedded inside your operation. They join your team meetings, have admin access to your software stack, and are available during business hours. Think of them as a remote team member, not an outside advisor.
Bring the report. Your Ironback specialist will evaluate which recommendations are worth implementing and build them. Many clients come to us specifically because they have a great strategy that never got executed.
Traditional consultants charge $150–$500/hr or $50K–$200K per project. Ironback starts with a $7,500 assessment (refundable if we can't find $50K in savings) followed by $2,500–$5,500/month for ongoing embedded operations.
We work best with trade contractors in the $2M–$15M range who have 25–50 employees and an actual office operation. If you're outside that, we can still take a look — book a call and we'll tell you straight.
