Why Executive Compensation Advisors
Choose the SageDoer Managed Model
As an Executive Compensation Consultant, your real value lies in board-level advisory, incentive design strategy, and governance negotiations. You should never be trapped manually hand-keying Summary Compensation Tables into Excel at 2 AM.
Zero Management Overhead
You should never have to chase timesheets, audit daily check-ins, or micro-manage data cleaning pipelines. Your dedicated Project Manager oversees execution and accuracy at no added cost.
Massive Margin Expansion
Full-time junior comp analysts in the US or UK cost $85k–$115k+ plus bonuses and benefits. Gain dedicated, vetted analytical support starting at just $6 to $7 per hour to expand your firm's billable margins.
Single Point of Contact
Never waste time managing multiple ad-hoc data contractors. Channel your peer group criteria, proxy tables, and board presentation deadlines directly to one accountable Project Manager via Slack or WhatsApp.
Rigorous Statistical Hygiene
Executive compensation models leave zero margin for error. Our VAs are trained in meticulous financial formula verification, footnote checks, TSR alignment, and cross-source reconciliation.
Centralised Time Tracking
Receive itemized, auditable time logs that detail exact minutes spent on each client engagement. Pass transparent, auditable work hours straight to your client invoices with zero markup confusion.
Zero Downtime Replacement
If an analyst takes leave right before a critical Compensation Committee meeting, our Project Manager immediately cross-trains and steps in an internal replacement familiar with your modeling SOPs.

Real experiences from compensation advisors scaling their analytical capacity through SageDoer.
"Proxy season used to be pure survival mode for our boutique comp firm. Extracting Summary Comp Tables and footnote disclosures across 80 peer companies was killing our nights. SageDoer deployed an analytical VA in 24 hours. The free PM audits every formula before I even look at the files."
Gregory Hayes
Managing Principal, Beacon Executive Compensation Partners
"At $6/hour full-time, the financial arbitrage is insane. We bill our board advisory clients standard consulting rates ($275/hr) while our SageDoer assistant pulls peer group percentiles, formats think-cell waterfall slides, and aligns Radford survey cuts. It added over 35% directly to our firm's bottom line."
Victoria Sterling
Founder & Total Rewards Strategist, Sterling Governance Advisors
"Zero platform fees and zero recruiting lag. We had an unexpected influx of pre-IPO tech clients requiring equity burn-rate and share pool dilution models in Carta. SageDoer had a vetted specialist working directly on our models within 48 hours. Completely stress-free."
Marcus Chen

"Having a dedicated Project Manager acting as our single point of contact is the true differentiator. I don't micromanage. I drop proxy lists and peer group criteria into Slack, and the PM ensures the models are checked and delivered on time."
