Who actually shows up to engagements?

A partner. Amit on finance-vertical work, Geetanjali on healthcare-vertical work. There is no bait-and-switch from a senior pitch to junior staffing.

What's the smallest engagement you'll take?

The two-week diagnostic ($15–25K range). From there, you decide whether to keep going. We'd rather earn the next phase than lock you into a year-long contract.

How fast can you start?

Typically 2–3 weeks from a signed scope to kickoff. Faster if there's a regulator deadline involved.

Are engagements remote or on-site?

Remote-first across the U.S. We travel for kickoff, key milestones, and board calibration when it matters. Travel is pass-through at cost; we err on the side of less.

What's the typical contract length?

Each phase is its own SOW with a fixed scope and fee. We don't push annual contracts. Advisory retainers are reviewed quarterly for continued value.

What industries do you cover?

Two deep verticals: Finance & Banking and Healthcare & Life Sciences. We've also worked cross-cutting in technology and retail when the risk profile maps. If you're outside our verticals, we'll tell you in the first call and recommend partners who fit.

Are you tied to any specific GRC or TMS vendor?

No. We're vendor-agnostic across ServiceNow IRM, Archer, MetricStream, and similar GRC platforms; across Kyriba, GTreasury, FIS Quantum, Trovata, ION on the TMS side; across Epic, Cerner, Athenahealth, Allscripts on the EHR side.

Is OfficeBeat a fit for our size?

We work from rapidly-growing SMEs through global multinationals. The common thread is complexity, not headcount. If you're under ~$50M revenue and looking for a CRO replacement, we're probably not the right fit — see our note on ERM at the $50M mark for what we'd recommend instead.

Can you help with a regulator deadline?

Yes — and we expedite. Mention the deadline in your first message and we'll prioritize the response.

Do you provide references?

Yes, on request, after the first call. We're careful with client time, so we offer references when there's mutual seriousness about an engagement.

What is getmemyjob, and how does it relate to OfficeBeat?

getmemyjob is an OfficeBeat product — an AI-assisted job-search platform, currently in alpha. It's a separate offering from the consulting practice; they share the OfficeBeat parent brand.

Question we didn't answer?

The first call is the right place to ask.
