Every engagement is structured so the portco's month-one cash-flow impact is positive on replacement roles, or so documented throughput exceeds US-equivalent output on growth roles. If the math doesn't work from month one, the engagement doesn't start. What follows is the full walkthrough — the model, the scaffolding, and the five engagements we run.
The wedge engagement is Cash-Flow-Aligned Permanent Placement. It resolves sponsor governance, IP ownership, and covenant objections that block traditional staff-aug at the fund level.
Each phase has documented deliverables, timelines, and the Operating Partner artifact that gets produced at the end. All of it is built so a quarterly fund review can cite the work without additional prep.
A 2-week diagnostic of one portfolio company's current labor structure. We catalog every US-loaded seat, identify the roles where AI-augmented LATAM talent can replace or augment US spend, and quantify the year-one savings per role.
Output: a month-by-month cash-flow model and a role-by-role replacement sequence, prioritized by savings velocity and risk.
We source LATAM candidates against the role spec with a pre-vetted pipeline biased toward AI-native operators. Every candidate completes an AI-fluency assessment alongside the portco's standard interview loop.
The hire is placed directly onto the portco's payroll — W-2 in the US entity, or EOR-structured where appropriate. IP ownership sits with the portco from day one. No subcontracting. No intermediary staffing layer.
The hire is onboarded with the Accrety AI productivity layer: Cursor/Copilot provisioning for engineering, AI-assisted research and CRM tooling for GTM, AI-accelerated close tooling for finance. The tooling is included in the retainer.
From month one, we report month-over-month throughput against a documented baseline — tickets closed, PRs merged, meetings booked, close-cycle days — whichever metric is load-bearing for the role.
At month twelve the retainer ends. The hire continues on the portco payroll at LATAM loaded cost — recurring $90K year-over-year savings per replaced seat. The portco owns the employment relationship outright.
Our role shifts to fund-level portfolio coverage: the next portco, the next role, the next playbook deployment. The relationship with the Operating Partner remains open for continuity.
Wedge-first order. Most portcos enter through the Audit or directly into Cash-Flow-Aligned Permanent Placement.
We map one portco's current labor structure and deliver a quantified savings projection with a month-by-month cash-flow model. Standalone deliverable. If we proceed to deployment, the fee rolls into the first engagement.
Book the Audit →Permanent LATAM hires on the portco's payroll. Twelve-month retainer structured so monthly savings always exceed fee. After month 12 the retainer ends and the portco owns the hire outright. 90-day replacement guarantee.
Nearshore contractor teams with an AI productivity layer per seat. Two sub-models based on whether throughput can be rigorously measured.
1.5–2× documented throughput of a US hire at 50–60% of US loaded cost.
Defined markup on LATAM loaded cost with a contractual throughput guarantee. Pro-rata fee adjustment if monthly throughput falls below threshold for two consecutive months.
US-caliber performance at 50–60% of US loaded cost. Replacement guarantee and 30/60/90-day check-ins.
Standard cost-plus markup. The differentiator is the AI productivity tooling bundled with every seat plus the replacement guarantee — not a throughput claim we can't prove.
Surgical single-use-case deployments — support deflection, SDR automation, F&A close. Fixed fee plus optional success fee on documented year-one EBITDA impact.
A 4–6 week baseline of the portco's labor structure. Target-state design, EBITDA quantified in points, implementation plan that feeds directly into placement and staff-aug engagements.
Not a founder-dependent project shop. A firm built to operate as an institutional partner across the hold period.
Accrety operates as a founder-led firm with deliberately built operational scaffolding. A Head of Delivery leads engagement execution across portfolio companies. Our operating procedures — for sourcing, onboarding, productivity measurement, replacement guarantees, and portfolio-level reporting — are documented and continuously refined as we deploy across funds. Continuity arrangements ensure that client engagements are covered independent of any single point of failure.
As engagements scale across a fund's portfolio, our delivery team scales proportionally. We grow operational capacity on a timeline calibrated to engagement volume, not headcount vanity metrics. Every seat deployed through Accrety is covered by documented delivery standards and monthly reporting artifacts that the Operating Partner can include in quarterly fund reviews without additional work.
