Independent Pigment & EPM consulting

Plans you can
stand behind.

Connected planning for finance leaders who need to trust the next number—and explain the one after it.

I design, build and improve Pigment models.
Clear logic. Traceable numbers. A team that owns the result.

01 / A clear starting point

What needs
to work better?

A focused scope. Visible progress.
One person accountable for the build.

01 / Build

A new model.
A stronger foundation.

From architecture and data to planning logic, boards and a documented handover.

What should be ready before a build?

An agreed planning question, source-data samples you are authorised to share, a decision owner and the reporting calendar. A phased implementation is typically 6–12 weeks, with scope and timing agreed after discovery.

Phased implementation
02 / Improve

A slower model.
A clearer way forward.

Find the calculation, structure and reconciliation issues. Leave with a prioritised fix list.

What does a health check include?

A focused review of one Pigment application: formula and dependency hotspots, naming and lineage, access assumptions and reconciliation controls. Expect prioritised findings and a walkthrough. Indicative timing is 1–2 weeks, depending on access and scope.

Model health check
03 / Deliver

Your standards.
More hands-on capacity.

A defined workstream for your implementation team, with clear reviews and clean handoffs.

How does partner support start?

Agree a defined workstream, delivery standards, review points and working-hour overlap. Support can be scoped by phase or as a regular block of modelling capacity.

Partner delivery support
02 / The work, made tangible

Less explanation.
More exploration.

One demonstration project.
Five solution blueprints.
Fictional data. Real design decisions.

Demonstration project

Turn a revenue question into a plan.

Follow new business, expansion and churn through a connected ARR model. Explore the architecture, then adjust a scenario.

04 / Start a conversation

Your next plan.
On solid footing.

A new build, a model that needs attention, or a partner workstream. Tell me where you are starting.

What happens next?

I’ll review your note and respond with questions or suggested times to talk. Scope and fees are agreed before work starts.

Are the examples client results?

No. Titan is a demonstration; the other projects are solution blueprints. All use fictional companies and data.

How is confidential data handled?

Access, confidentiality and approved tools are agreed before delivery. Keep sensitive data out of the initial enquiry. Privacy details.
