Rates & Fee Guide
Transparent rate guidance for Dogwood Hub Advisory consulting engagements — fixed fees, day rates, and quote factors for small business owners.
How we price advisory work
Most engagements use fixed fees agreed before work begins. Complex multi-site audits are quoted after a scoping call. All fees are in AUD and exclude GST, which is added to invoices for Australian clients.
Standard engagements
| Service | Fee basis | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Growth Strategy Session | Fixed half-day fee | From $2,400 |
| Market Positioning Review | Fixed project fee | From $3,800 |
| Operational Readiness Audit | Fixed by scope | From $6,500 |
| Follow-up advisory block | 5 x 90-min sessions | From $4,200 |
Day rate
Ad-hoc senior advisory outside structured packages is available at $850 per day (maximum six hours), subject to availability. Minimum booking is a half-day.
What affects your quote
- Number of sites or trading locations
- Whether customer interviews are included
- Urgency and calendar constraints
- Need for associate research support
- Travel beyond metropolitan Sydney or Melbourne
Deposits and payment
Structured engagements require a 40% deposit to confirm dates, with the balance due on delivery of the final document. Invoices are payable within fourteen days. We accept bank transfer; card payment is available on request for deposits only.
