One model, proven across sectors.
We deliver the outcome for you and are paid through the value we create - not for running up the billables without any results.
Complex made simple. Value you can see.
Every business in the group does the same essential thing: it removes cost, recovers value, or unlocks growth you'd otherwise leave on the table, in a way you can easily quantify. We don't hand you a tool and wish you luck. We deliver the outcome for you and are paid through the value we create - not for running up the billables without any results.
These are services that are genuinely hard to do well: tax, procurement, advisory, and more. The expertise to get them right is rare, and it's exactly what these businesses are built on.

Outcome-based pricing
Wherever we can, we're paid on the result. We win when you win.
Real expertise
Experts who do this every day and have done for many years.
Simplicity

Companies
RK Partners
RK helps US companies claim the R&D tax credits and incentives they didn't know they were owed. It carries the complexity of the tax code so the client never has to, and turns it into a clear, quantified result. As our first business, it set the model the whole group now runs on.
Optimisr
Optimisr finds where companies overspend on software and negotiates betterterms on their behalf. Its network of ex-vendors knows exactly where theleverage sits, so it looks past the jargon to the real deal. It's paid on a share ofwhat it saves, so it only wins when the client does.
