Frequently Asked Questions
Because your partner 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 partner 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 is a flat $8,000/month with a 3-month minimum, month-to-month after. Month 1 delivers an operational audit and starts the first build.
We work best with trade contractors in the $1M–$20M range who have 5–50 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.
