Cost savings with a project-based consultant

A prestigious family office required a CPA with industry-specific experience for a critical 9-month project. Initially, they sought assistance from a national accounting and consulting firm, which quoted a project cost of $500,000 without any viable option to convert the consultant to a permanent role.

Our Approach: Understanding the client’s need for both cost-efficiency and potential long-term employment, Landing Point offered a tailored solution that addressed both concerns.

Key Achievements:

  • Cost Savings: We provided a highly qualified contractor at a cost that was 60% lower than the national consulting firm’s quote. This substantial savings allowed the client to allocate resources more effectively across their operations.
  • Path to hire: Unlike the national firm, we offered a clear and favorable path for the client to hire the contractor directly. This flexibility was a significant advantage, aligning with the client’s long-term staffing goals.
  • Successful conversion: After only three months, the client decided to convert the contractor to a permanent role, demonstrating the high quality and fit of the candidate we provided.

Impact: Our solution not only saved the family office a considerable amount of money, but it also ensured that they had the right talent in place with the potential for a long-term commitment. This successful engagement highlights Landing Point’s ability to deliver cost-effective and strategic staffing solutions that meet both immediate and future needs.
