Consultant rates vary significantly and are influenced by a wide range of factors. Set out below is a summary of the main pricing structures and approaches.

a) Simple daily rate

The consultant rate is agreed to be a set rate per day. The assignment is scoped and an estimated total number of days for completion are agreed. The consulting contract would specify the key deliverables and there would be regular progress reviews with the client to ensure that the consulting inputs are as required in order that at the end of the contract the key requirements will be met.

b) Retainer

The professional services of the consultant would be retained through the course of a specified period of time, typically one, three, six or twelve months. The client would agree to pay a fixed fee in order that at any time during the year he can call on the expertise of the consultant in providing expert input and guidance.

The advantage to the client is that he knows he has expert resource available at very short notice. Typically the consulting contract for a retainer arrangement would include a cap or ceiling on the number of days that the client can draw down

c) Fixed price

The client agrees with the consultant a fixed price for successful completion of clearly specified deliverables. The consulting contract makes no reference to the number of consulting days that will be invested in ensuring that the objectives are met, but typically an end date is agreed by which the assignment must be completed.

d) Contingency / success fee

Contingency fees form an incentive for the consulting firm through a fee structure based on the consultant receiving a percentage either of the results of his efforts or of the cost savings achieved through his work.

e) Time and Materials basis

The client pays the consultant an agreed rate (usually time-based i.e. hourly or daily) for input provided by the consultant. Any related expenses incurred or supplies purchased are charged to the client at cost.

Price offers are drafted after a circumstanced review of the client’s project and expectations. They are customized and discussed openly with the client. They may mix some of the structures and approaches developed here before.
