The problem the fifth client creates
A consultant-led reporting engagement is priced on effort, and most of that effort is not expertise. It is collection, chasing, reconciliation and formatting — work that is nearly identical across clients and that scales linearly with headcount.
The first engagement is profitable because you priced it for the learning. The fifth is not, because you are doing the same manual work five times.
Moving that work into a platform changes the shape of the practice. The method, the factor set and the report templates already exist by the second engagement, so what your team sells becomes judgement — materiality, boundary, assurance readiness, the strategy narrative — rather than data entry.
That is also what protects the practice when clients eventually bring reporting in-house, as some will. A firm that sold data entry loses that work. A firm that sold judgement keeps it.
What a partner account gives you
A workspace per client
Each client's sites, users and reporting years are separated, under one firm account with one invoice.
One shared factor library
The same factor set applies across every engagement, so two consultants cannot quietly use two methods.
Roles per engagement
Staff are assigned to the clients they work on. Moving someone off an engagement removes their access to it.
Client-branded deliverables
Exports carry your firm's or your client's identity, generated from the same underlying disclosure.
Portfolio view
See which engagements are behind, which are waiting on client data, and which are ready for review.
Templates that carry forward
A method that worked for one manufacturer is the starting position for the next, not a file someone has to find.
How the programme works
- 01
Introductory call
We walk through your current engagement model, how many clients you expect to serve, and whether the platform actually fits how your practice works. If it does not, we will say so.
- 02
Pilot on one live engagement
You run one real client through Emvert with our support, so the decision is based on your own reporting cycle rather than a demo dataset.
- 03
Firm account and enablement
Workspaces are set up, your team is trained on the calculation and evidence model, and your house templates are loaded.
- 04
Referral terms
Where you refer a client who buys a direct licence, or where we refer advisory work to you, terms are agreed in writing in advance. We do not run an undisclosed commission arrangement behind a recommendation.
Partner questions
Do you compete with us for the same clients?
Emvert sells software; assurance, materiality assessment and strategy advisory are your work, not ours. Where a prospect needs advisory support we refer it out, and the Firm tier exists specifically so that preparing reports for clients is a first-class use of the product rather than a workaround.
Can we white-label the platform?
Report exports can carry your firm's or your client's branding. The platform interface itself is Emvert-branded — a client who is being handed an audit trail should be able to see which system produced it, and so should their assurance provider.
What does it cost?
The Firm tier is an annual licence in Naira, priced on the number of client workspaces rather than per seat, so adding a junior to an engagement does not change your bill. Exact pricing depends on portfolio size — a call ends with a written quote.
Who owns the client's data?
The client does. If an engagement ends, their workspace and its evidence can be exported to them or transferred to a direct licence. We will not hold a company's emissions history hostage to a commercial dispute between them and their adviser.
