Comp bands that finally made sense

Where they started

A consultancy was losing senior billers to competitors, had no defensible compensation structure, and raises were ad hoc — creating resentment and margin unpredictability.

The work

• Built defensible salary bands using real market benchmarking data
• Created a transparent raise-and-bonus framework tied to performance
• Implemented a lightweight performance rhythm for billable staff
• Coached partners on retention conversations with key people
