I can provide Services either on a Time and Materials basis or on Fixed Fee Basis. I will also provide an additional “Ad-hoc Consulting” option to existing clients for any further assistance they may require after completion of the initial project.
Prior to the launch of the services, a Statement of Work outlining scope of services, deliverables, roles and responsibilities, fees and terms and conditions will need to be signed.
If you are unsure if the Time and Materials or Fixed Fee Option is better suited, I will be happy to provide a recommendation based on the specificities of your project.
The Fees and Expenses invoiced will be payable in Euros by SEPA bank transfer, within 30 days after reception of the invoice.
If you have any questions about the Services I provide or require an Estimate/Statement of Work for a Project, please use the Contact Form.
Depending on the type of project and if the project is full-time or part-time, the rate agreed might be daily or hourly.
My rate will depend on multiple factors such as (but not limited to) the exact services to be delivered and their complexity, the responsibilities I am expected to take on, the project duration, if the project is full time or part time, if some onsite work is required.
My daily rate will usually be between 1000€/day and 1200€/day. It is based upon an 8 hour day – therefore my hourly rate will usually be between 125€/hour and 150€/hour.
These rates are valid for work done from Monday to Friday in usual business hours excluding French public holidays. They do not include expenses (in particular travel expenses) or any applicable taxes.
On a Time and Materials Project, I will provide a timesheet with the hours/days used for the Project on a weekly basis.
Invoicing will be done on a monthly basis.
Selecting a Time and Materials project will usually be the best option if the scope is not yet 100% clear ; if you require flexibility in the services that need to be delivered or if the work I need to deliver is strongly dependant on the completion of the work of other members of the project team.
Should you require a Fixed Fee Offer, I will estimate the Time needed to deliver the Services agreed to in the Statement of Work and commit to deliver these Services for a fixed Amount. I will not deliver any additional Services that are not specifically in scope of the Statement of Work without the signature of a Scope Change Request. The fixed amount does not include expenses (in particular travel expenses) or any applicable taxes.
A Fixed Fee Project is often the best option if the Scope of Work, Deliverables, Roles and Responsibilities and Project duration are very clearly determined prior to the start of the Project and there is little chance that any of these will change during the duration of the Project. To ensure the success of the Fixed Fee Project, it will usually also require for my Work to have limited dependancy on the work of other members of the Project Team.
On a Fixed Fee Project, Invoicing will be done according to Milestones agreed to in the Statement of Work.
The main objective of this type contract is to provide you with some flexibility after the end of a project to continue to request my assistance for a few hours here and there on an ad-hoc basis whenever you require additional work.
With an ad-hoc consulting contract, you can purchase a “bucket of hours/days” that can be used whenever needed. The minimum number of hours/days that can be purchased is 40 hours/5days. The hourly/daily rate applicable will be identical to the rate agreed for the project.
This option is only available to clients who have engaged me previously on a Time and Materials or a Fixed Fee Project.
