Solutions & Engagement Models

Choose the level of intelligence and financial leadership your business needs.

Every engagement is built on the same Business Performance Intelligence foundation — with the depth of analysis, guidance, and leadership increasing as your needs grow.

Start with your foundation

Most ongoing engagements begin with a Business Performance Baseline.

Before most ongoing engagements, we establish where your business stands today. The Business Performance Baseline is a one-time, separately scoped foundation — the starting line we measure everything against.

Scoped to your data availability and business complexity. Pricing is determined after your Business Assessment — it is not a fixed published rate.

Investment

Transparent starting points.

Once you know where you stand, choose the ongoing engagement that fits. These are typical starting points — final pricing is scoped to your complexity.

Business Performance Intelligence, Fractional Controller, and Fractional CFO form the three-step engagement ladder. Strategic Projects sits alongside it — decision-specific work at any step, or on its own. Multi-Entity Solutions and AI Enablement are specialized capabilities that overlay the engagement that fits — not additional steps on the ladder.

* Published prices are starting points, not one-size-fits-all packages. Final scope and pricing are confirmed after NextGen understands your company’s complexity, objectives and required level of involvement (see the pricing drivers below). Most ongoing engagements begin with a separately scoped, one-time Business Performance Baseline (no published price). Industry benchmarking is provided where reliable data is available.
