For Partners

Offer your clients the profitability insight they keep asking for.

Your clients keep asking which customers, products, and services actually make them money. Answering it has always meant senior people, months of work, and bespoke modelling that's hard to package and scale. Partner with us to give them a premium profitability capability, productised and repeatable, built on twenty-five years of cost-modelling practice, without building the engine yourself.

The opportunity

A service your clients want, that used to be impossible to scale.

Cost-to-serve and true profitability analysis is one of the most valuable things an advisor can offer, and one of the hardest to deliver at a margin. Done by hand, it ties up your most experienced people for months on work that's different every time. Most firms either turn it away or absorb it as a loss-leader.

That's the same barrier CostCtrl was built to remove. The methodology was never the problem; the cost and effort of delivering it was. With CostCtrl behind you, a capability that used to demand a specialist team becomes a repeatable engagement you can offer across your client base, with the rigour intact and the delivery effort a fraction of what it was.

You add a high-value service line. Your clients get an answer they couldn't get anywhere else. The work that used to lose money starts to make it.

Ways to partner

Three ways to work with us, from light-touch to fully embedded.

Whether you're a national accountancy firm or an independent advisor, there's a way in that fits how you work.

Refer

Point your clients to CostCtrl and earn a rebate on what they spend. The simplest way to start: you keep your brand and your relationship, we handle delivery, and you share in the value you helped create. Best suited to firms who want to add profitability to their offering without changing how they operate.

Deliver

Implement CostCtrl for your clients as part of your own advisory service. You run the engagement, interpret the results, and lead the client relationship; CostCtrl is the engine underneath. Best suited to consultants and advisory practices who want profitability modelling to become a core, repeatable part of what they sell. Trained and certified partners deliver this today.

White-label

Offer CostCtrl's capability under your own brand. Reserved for established partners with the client base to justify it, and arranged directly rather than off the shelf. If this is where you're headed, let's talk about what it would take.

What you bring, what we bring

A partnership, not a handover.

The most valuable part of a profitability engagement isn't the model, it's the judgement around it: knowing the client, framing the question, interpreting the result, and helping them act on it. That's what you bring, and it's exactly what we don't.

You bring

The client relationship, the industry and advisory judgement, and the change management that turns an insight into a decision the client actually acts on.

We bring

The deterministic calculation engine, the ABC and TDABC methodology built into the product, the audit trail behind every number, and the rigour that lets your client take the result to their board. The AI layer and the engine make the work repeatable and fast; the methodology and your expertise make it trustworthy and real.

This is why partnering works rather than competes. We sell directly to in-house finance teams who want to run their own model. We partner with firms whose clients want the answer delivered as a service, with an advisor alongside them. Different need, different route, same engine.

How partnering works

From first conversation to first engagement.

Conversation

We start by understanding your practice, your clients, and which of the three routes fits. No commitment, just whether there's a genuine fit.

Enablement

We train your team on the methodology and the platform, enough to scope, run, and interpret an engagement with confidence. Partners who complete this are certified to deliver CostCtrl.

First engagement

We support you closely through your first client engagement, so you're never learning on the client's time. You lead the relationship; we're behind you on the model.

Scale

As your team builds confidence, you take on more, with our support there when you need it. The more engagements you run, the more repeatable and profitable the service becomes.

Partner economics

Economics designed to reward the relationship.

Partner terms are built to reward the depth of the relationship and the value you bring, and they differ across the three routes. Rather than a fixed published rate, we'll work out economics that make sense for your practice and the way you want to work with us.
