Questions about budgets for consultancies
- Can I budget different parts of a consulting engagement?
- Yes. Budget scope can include tasks as well as the project. Choose useful categories for the engagement, then record work consistently so the budget review reflects how you actually deliver it.
- What should I check before adding another consulting workshop?
- Review the remaining hours and work already promised. Discuss how the extra workshop changes scope and price before assuming it fits the original fixed fee.
