Business Advisory
Not everyone can afford us. We respect that. Here is who we are built for.
The honest version
A full-time CTO costs $150,000 a year. The IT team they manage costs another $200,000. Add infrastructure, licensing, ticketing systems, and institutional knowledge — and you are north of $400,000 annually before anyone has solved a single problem.
TEKEASE® Business Advisory engagements start at $3,500 per month. Most engagements run $5,000 per month and include comprehensive technology leadership, infrastructure management, security oversight, and everything in between.
For the right business, that is not an expense. It is the most efficient technology decision they will ever make.
Knowing where to hit the press
There is a story about a technician called out in the middle of the night when the printing presses at a major publication stopped completely. He arrived promptly. Walked the floor. Studied the machinery. Reached into his bag, pulled out a hammer, and hit the press once. The entire operation started running immediately.
The invoice was $5,000.
The press manager objected. Twenty minutes. One hammer swing. $5,000.
The technician understood his frustration. “The hammer,” he said, “was $500. Knowing where to hit it was $4,500.”
That is what you are paying for. Not the hours. Not the tools. Not the response time. Forty years of knowing exactly where to hit it.
What’s included
Strategic technology leadership without the executive payroll.
CTO, CIO, and CSO level strategy—without the six-figure salary.
Vendor management—we negotiate, evaluate, and hold them accountable so you don't have to.
Network security and compliance oversight—your systems protected, your exposure managed.
Technology roadmapping—where you are, where you need to be, and how to get there.
Infrastructure management—monitoring, patch management, and the operational backbone that keeps everything running.
Website hosting and digital infrastructure—for clients who want it all under one roof.
Quarterly business reviews—technology aligned with business objectives every 90 days.
And when something breaks at midnight—one call. Answered.
Who we work with
We are selective. Deliberately.
TEKEASE Business Advisory is built for owners and operators who understand that technology is not a cost center — it is a competitive advantage. Clients who are serious about growth, serious about security, and serious about having the right person in the room when the decisions get made.
Industries we serve: professional services, financial services, real estate, hospitality, and select retail operations.
Engagements start at $3,500 per month. Most run $5,000.
Who we don’t
We do not take every client. Deliberately.
We are not the right fit for businesses looking for the lowest price. We are not a break-fix shop. We do not manage commodity accounts.
If you are looking for someone to just keep the lights on — there are less expensive options. We wish you well with them.
If you are looking for a technology partner who has actually built, scaled, and operated a business — and who brings that experience to every engagement — we should talk.
