Do you offer a pilot or demo engagement before full onboarding?
Yes, we offer pilot or trial engagements to help clients evaluate our capabilities before full-scale onboarding. The duration and scope of the pilot may vary based on the nature of the services, specific work expectations, and the availability of Windy Street team members.
How do you handle onboarding of new clients?
Our client onboarding process is designed to be collaborative and tailored to each firm’s unique needs. We work closely with your team to define and implement best practices that support a smooth and effective transition. Key elements of our onboarding process include:
Designating relationship managers on both sides
Aligning on IT protocols and access requirements
Finalizing the timesheet and reporting process
Establishing a structured feedback mechanism
Setting a call cadence for monthly leadership check-ins (including service-line leads and overall account leadership)
Sharing the annual calendar of public holidays and planned PTOs
Drawing on our experience supporting large offshore teams for U.S. firms, we recognize that a successful offshoring relationship is often influenced by the onshore team’s openness to embracing global talent and adapting existing workflows. As such, we view onboarding as a critical foundation for long-term success.
Can we scale the team quickly during high-deal volume periods?
We recognize the inherent volatility of the M&A market and offer an on-demand engagement model that allows clients to scale resources flexibly without long-term commitments. To support this approach, we maintain a pool of experienced deal professionals specializing in Financial Due Diligence, Valuations, and Modelling who are not assigned to any specific client. During peak deal periods, we can rapidly expand your team by leveraging this on-demand resource pool. Additional considerations related to this model can be discussed in detail to tailor the solution to your needs.
Do you offer seasonal ramp-up support during busy audit and tax periods?
Yes, we provide dedicated support during peak audit and tax seasons. The level of resources and pricing structure vary based on the scope, complexity, and duration of the engagement. We would be happy to discuss these details further to tailor our support to your specific requirements.
