Consulting

Consulting Overview
Our philosophy of consulting is simple. We want to establish a long term relationship with you over time to support you as you grow your business. We understand the resource constraints when first starting up, so we have developed a three tiered rate structure to support your cashflow as you grow.

We have pooled the talents and resources of experts across the region to support your start-up needs. These EA Partners/Consultants fees range from $175/hour to $250/hour.

EA Graduate Consulting
Each graduate of the EA-1000 training program receives one free hour of consulting twice monthly for three months after the class to support the execution of their start-up implementation plan. Graduates are further supported with one-on-one consulting with EA Strategic Partners and Consultants (level three rates) for the next 3 months after graduation. EA Graduates will then have access to EA Consultants at level two rates for the remainder of their first year after graduation. For each EA Graduate, the consulting needs will be assessed, and a consulting plan will be developed and agreed upon prior to graduation.
