The Last Billable Hour
Rebuilding the advisory firm for the age of AI.
The book, the toolkit, and the guided transition for founders and managing partners of 5-to-200-person advisory firms.
The problem is already priced.
AI compressed the production work. Buyers are coming for their share of the savings. The billable hour, the rate card, and the pyramid built around them are repricing whether you act or not. The only open question is who writes the new price: your buyers, or you.
Three layers. One system.
The Book
The argument in full. Why the billable hour is repricing, what replaces it, and the operating model that survives the transition.

I have priced the work, built the pyramid, and watched the model that made it profitable begin to come apart. This book is what I would tell a founder who still has time to write their own price.”
