Fractional Executive & Consultant Engagement Letter Guide and Template

Every fractional executive has a story about the clause they wish had been in their engagement letter before something went sideways. The scope that expanded informally for six months until the client disputed $34,000 of the final invoice. The non-solicitation clause that restricted them from working in an entire industry after the engagement ended.

This bundle exists so that story does not have to be yours.
