Pricing explained What we cover Is it right for you? Results Get in touch
"We came in thinking we needed more clients. Turns out we needed to charge correctly for the ones we already had. Revenue jumped thirty-one percent in a single quarter." — Danielle Proulx, founder of Atelier Verte, Gatineau

Most business owners under-price, over-deliver, and wonder why growth stalls

That pattern ends when someone outside the business examines the numbers with you. This is what our coaching engagements are designed to do — not motivate, not inspire, but clarify the economics of your business so you can make better decisions faster.

Business coaching priced by what you actually need

We don't sell bronze, silver, or gold packages. Instead, every engagement is scoped to your situation. Below is a transparent breakdown of what coaching costs, what drives the price, and why we structure it this way.

Diagnostic session

$275 / one-time

A ninety-minute deep dive into your revenue model, cost structure, and growth bottlenecks. You leave with a written summary of the three highest-leverage changes you can make immediately. Many clients start here and decide on their own whether ongoing coaching makes sense.

"That single session saved me from signing a lease that would have eaten my margins for two years." — Marc Thibault, restaurateur

Ongoing coaching

$800–$1,400 / month

The monthly rate depends on session frequency (bi-weekly or weekly), the complexity of your business model, and whether we include financial review between calls. There are no lock-in contracts — you continue as long as the return justifies the investment. Most clients stay between six and fourteen months.

Every engagement includes asynchronous access via email for time-sensitive decisions between sessions.

Intensive sprint

$3,200 / 6 weeks

Built for owners facing a specific inflection point: a new hire decision, a pricing overhaul, entering a new market, or restructuring operations. We meet three times per week for six weeks, with homework and accountability built in. This is the fastest path to a measurable shift.

What affects cost

Transparency note

Revenue complexity, number of revenue streams, team size, and whether we do direct financial modelling all influence scope. We never charge for things you don't need. If bi-weekly sessions are enough, we won't push weekly. If you only need the diagnostic, that's perfectly fine.

We quote a fixed monthly rate before we start — no surprise invoices, no hourly billing anxiety.

Why no packages?

Packages force you into someone else's framework. A bakery owner scaling from one location to three has different needs than a solo consultant trying to break six figures. Standardised tiers pretend those situations are interchangeable. They aren't. We scope every engagement individually because that's what actually produces results.

The areas we work on together

Pricing architecture

We rebuild your pricing from the ground up — cost-plus analysis, value-based positioning, competitive mapping, and margin targets that make your business sustainable.

Revenue model clarity

Recurring vs. project revenue, product vs. service mix, customer lifetime value calculations. We make sure you understand where your money actually comes from.

Hiring and delegation

When to hire, what to delegate first, how to structure compensation so it aligns with growth instead of draining cash flow.

Operational bottlenecks

Identifying the constraint that limits throughput — whether it's a process, a person, a tool, or a habit — and designing the fix.

Decision frameworks

Helping you build repeatable decision-making systems so you stop agonising over every choice and start moving faster with confidence.

Business coaching session reviewing financial strategy on a whiteboard

Built for business owners who think in numbers, not affirmations

This isn't life coaching dressed up in business language. We work with spreadsheets, P&L statements, and real data. If you want accountability tied to financial outcomes, you're in the right place.

"Finally, a coach who asked to see my books before talking about mindset." — Renée Bouchard, e-commerce founder

Is this right for you? A quick fit check

I'm pre-revenue — is it too early?
If you have a validated idea and are within three months of your first sale, the diagnostic session can be extremely valuable. For earlier-stage exploration, we'd honestly recommend waiting until you have real market feedback to work with.
My business is doing well — do I still need coaching?
Often, yes. Profitable businesses frequently leave significant money on the table through under-pricing, inefficient operations, or delayed hiring decisions. Our most impactful engagements tend to be with businesses already generating strong revenue that want to optimise rather than survive.
I've worked with coaches before and it felt fluffy
We hear this constantly. Our approach is financially grounded. Every session ties back to measurable outcomes — revenue, margin, cost reduction, or time recovered. If a conversation doesn't connect to a number, we redirect it.
Do you work with businesses outside Gatineau?
Absolutely. About half our clients are based elsewhere in Quebec, Ontario, or other Canadian provinces. Sessions happen over video call. The diagnostic can also be done remotely with no loss of quality.
What if I only need one or two sessions?
Start with the diagnostic. Many people get what they need from that single session plus the written summary. There's zero pressure to continue — and if you do want more, we scope it to the minimum that makes sense.

Two paths, two outcomes

Atelier Verte — product-based business

Danielle was selling handmade home goods at craft fairs and online. Revenue was growing, but profit wasn't. We discovered her shipping costs were eating twenty-two percent of her margin on online orders. We restructured her pricing tiers, introduced a minimum order value, and renegotiated her courier contract.

Result: net profit increased by thirty-one percent within one quarter.

Bridgeway Consulting — service firm

Liam's five-person consulting firm was billing hourly and constantly scope-creeping. We moved the firm to project-based pricing with clear deliverables and change-order policies. We also identified that one service line was generating eighty percent of profit while consuming only forty percent of capacity.

Result: average project value rose by nineteen percent; team overtime dropped to near zero.
