Q. How do you structure your fees?

A. Our fees are structured based on your needs. We usually require a retainer depending upon the services required and the scope of the entire engagement / relationship.

Q. Why Perlinski & Company? What's your advantage over other firms?

A. Founded in 1989, our firm’s success is based upon ethics and reputation. We are professional, tenacious and work directly with you as an integral part of your team. Our experience is global and we have worked successfully in firms from 2 people to over 700,000.

Q. How do we engage Perlinski & Company? What’s the process?

A. Our process is structured in four basic steps: first, we sign a mutual non-disclosure agreement for your protection and ours; second, we receive basic corporate documentation from you as available to help us understand both your current situation and where you want to go; third, we develop a statement of work (SOW) that enumerates the services, timeline and costs that is reviewed with the decision makers at your firm. Last, upon ratification of the SOW, we co-sign the SOW and our Standard Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with you. This milestone allows us to begin work as part of your team.

Q. How are engagements structured?

A. Our services offering, enumerated within a Statement of Work (SOW), clearly spells out the basics of the engagement: What will be done, what are the objectives, roles and responsibilities of both companies, specific deliverables and the anticipated timeline and costs.

Q. Will you sign a non-disclosure-agreement?

A. We only sign our standard bi-lateral non-disclosure agreement with a potential client. Since we work with many firms, our standard agreement provides a “network of trust” that allows for complete and worry free transmission of information to all salient parties. We are very careful with our clients’ information and take trade secret and protection of intellectual property very seriously.

Q. Do you work internationally?

A. YES. We have extensive experience in Canada and throughout Europe. We have more limited experience in Central and South America, India, Africa and Asia. If you have a particular national or regional project, please ask; we will give you the straight story on what we can so for you.

Q. Do you invest directly in my company?

A. We currently do not make direct investments in our clients.

Q. How are Perlinski & Company consulting services different than management consultancies or Big-4 services?

A. Many management consulting firms focus on delivering a report telling you what you should do. Perlinski & Company consultants speak from real experience, both successes and failures. We don’t just say what should be done but actually work as part of your team to achieve your goals. We also have a pricing structure that is adaptable to small, mid-size and large companies. We provide other valuable services, such as enterprise valuation traditionaly not offered by other consulting firms.
