Supporting professional services firms

People who advise business are normally pretty skilled and educated in their field, whether it's accounting or management consulting. Or you might be an expert in a specialised field.

If you're professional and you have integrity, it's common for clients to approach you with a range of requests which fall outside your area of expertise. You don't want to compromise your reputation by acting outside of it, but you really do want the best for your client and don't want to give them a reason to go elsewhere.

Within your network, you probably know a half a dozen good lawyers, some other accountants, some other business advisors and a handful of engineers and scientists. You possibly also have access to high-end, quality designers or advertising people.

However, what's not common is a marketing consultancy which can claim to be expert at creating documents from the research stage, through writing, editing, revisions, design, lay-out and publishing.

That's what Big Sys can do for you and your clients.

To support professional services firms, Big Sys can put together Professional Services Packages, providing business advisory with access to marketing services on-tap, without the actual costs of creating a marketing department.

Big Sys is open to discussions about white-branding some of our services, creating the opportunity for you to add to your offerings without taking on extra overheads and complexities.

Professional Services Packages

• Experienced, skilled marketing communications professional
• 3, 6 or 12-month contract periods - longer contracts attract lower fees
• Set fees - no surprises (unless you request work outside of the initial agreement)
• Set hours per month
• A component is 'opportunity management' - sometimes opportunitites arise which aren't in the budget, which you or your clients might want to act upon as quickly as possible, but which you want to include in the set price
