Is this fractional, on-demand, or both?

Both models are supported. Most clients choose a monthly retainer with a fixed block of hours (commonly 20–60 per month) plus a named scope, which gives a predictable cadence and first-call access. On-demand engagements are also available for board prep, vendor evaluations, or one-off decisions that need fast senior analysis.

What is the minimum commitment?

The standard minimum is a three-month retainer with a monthly hour block, which gives enough runway to absorb context, deliver meaningful recurring work, and measure outcomes. Shorter engagements are possible for strictly defined ad-hoc analyses. Most retainers extend naturally past 12 months once the cadence is established.

What deliverables should I expect each month?

A predictable pack: scheduled executive reporting, maintained KPI dashboards, issue and exception logs, documented process updates, and a short written analytical brief on the month’s signal. Ad-hoc requests draw from the banked hours. The pack is defined in writing before the engagement starts so expectations are explicit.

How do you integrate with our internal team?

The Virtual Back Office plugs into your existing rhythm — we attend the analytics or operations stand-up cadence you already run, use your source systems and reporting tools, and coordinate through your chosen collaboration stack. The intent is to extend internal capacity, not to duplicate it or create parallel processes.

Challenge

After a major CRM migration, a healthcare authority had dashboards that no one trusted, 30+ recurring reports maintained by three different teams, and no owner for data definitions. Executives were making decisions against conflicting numbers.

Approach

Retained on a 20-hour-per-week cadence. Rationalized the report portfolio, authored a data dictionary, designed an executive KPI pack with a single source of truth, and established a monthly analytics governance meeting. Ran a fortnightly nurture loop on emerging reporting needs.

Outcome

Reporting portfolio cut from 30+ to 12 governed artifacts. Executive confidence in the numbers restored within one quarter. Two internal analysts were freed from recurring work to focus on strategic analysis. Ongoing engagement continues into year three.
