Included with every package

A named engagement director

One senior owner accountable from scoping to handover — not a rotating cast.

A standing steering cadence

Fortnightly reviews with minutes, actions and owners. Decisions are recorded, then kept.

Executive-grade reporting

Dashboards a board can read in five minutes, backed by working papers that survive an audit.

Exit-ready documentation

Everything we build is documented and handed over. Your institution owns the work product.

Commercial framework

How Profmax structures fees

The numbers change with scope. The discipline behind them never does.

Scoping before commercials

Every proposal follows a structured scoping consultation with your leadership. We price the work, not the brand on the gate.

Fees fixed against deliverables

Professional fees are agreed against a written statement of work — never open-ended timesheets.

Phased, milestone-linked billing

Programs bill against milestones your steering committee signs off. Retainers are reviewed annually.

No hidden charges

Statutory fees, licences and third-party costs are passed through at cost, with documentation. GST is itemised separately.

Before you ask

Questions institutions ask us

Because no two institutions start from the same place. A fee that is right for a single school is wrong for a multi-state group or an international university entering India. Publishing one number would mean quoting most institutions the wrong one. Commercials are prepared for your situation and confirmed in writing after a scoping consultation.

Pricing that starts with your institution — not a rate card

Tell us where you are and where you intend to be. A senior consultant — not a sales team — will scope the engagement and return a written proposal.
