Paying yourself
Numbers first, then support.
Not registered as looking for work, or you would rather not depend on deadlines and approvals? Then I work with you directly — no waiting on an authority, and everything in English.
What fits is not decided on this page but in the free first call. The prices are here so you can judge the order of magnitude.
The way in
Want to know where you stand first?
€390
Fixed price · 90 minutes plus 30 minutes of follow-up questions
Before you think about ongoing support, we work through the numbers of your business together. Afterwards you have it in black and white: what it has to bring in at minimum — and where money is being left on the table.
What you get
- Your fully completed financial planning workshop
- A results sheet with your minimum revenue and your price floor
- The three places where you are leaving money on the table
- 30 minutes of follow-up questions after the session
If you book Foundation within three months, the €390 is credited in full.
Ongoing support
Foundation
3 months
from €3,000
Fixed price, payable in instalments
At the end you know what your business earns and have an offer with prices that holds.
What you get
- Three-year financial plan with minimum revenue and price floor
- Your positioning in one sentence
- Your offer with a price list
- 90-day plan with the next steps
- Scope: 6 sessions of 90 minutes, WhatsApp support in between
Plus: your personal access to the financial planning workshop — and a check 90 days after the last session on whether the measures have held.
No package, no commitment
Just one hour first?
€150
per clock hour (60 minutes)
Not everyone needs months of support. Sometimes you are stuck at a single point — and one hour with someone who looks at the numbers gets you further than four weeks of turning it over.
Typical reasons
- A price you haven't touched in two years
- An offer nobody books, and you don't know why
- A decision you have been stuck on for weeks
We start with the free first call for this too — 30 minutes, so I know what it is about. Then the paid hour isn't spent on preliminaries.
Why an hour inside a package costs more than a single one.
A package holds more time than its sessions suggest: I work through your figures, write the documents and prepare every session. A single hour is the hour itself — no preparation, no documents, no follow-up. That is why the packages state what you end up with, and the single hour states how long it lasts.
Numbers check, ongoing support or single hour — which one fits, we work out in the free first call.
Paying in instalments
Foundation can be split into monthly instalments, for example three. We discuss it in the first call; there is no surcharge.
About the prices
As a small business under § 19 of the German VAT Act I do not charge VAT — the prices shown are final prices. Payment in instalments is possible, billed by invoice.
From my consulting work
Before working with Simon, I honestly didn't really know how to approach everything. His support quickly gave me clarity and helped me understand the next steps. I found it especially helpful that I could fully concentrate on my own business and didn't have to worry about so many other things. Working with Simon was incredibly pleasant and straightforward. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to focus on building their own business and has good support by their side. Thank you, Simon!

Before I started working with Simon, I had tons of ideas for Franki Studios, but when it came to the finances, I was honestly sometimes just lost 😂 I knew where I wanted to go, but not really how to plan it all financially.
With Simon, a lot has become clearer. We built my financial plan together, and he explained things to me in a way that I actually understood, without all that complicated financial jargon, hahaha.
Now I finally have a better overview and a much more realistic understanding of my next steps with Franki Studios. This definitely gives me more confidence, and I don't feel so overwhelmed by all the numbers anymore.
I would especially recommend Simon to freelancers who have lots of ideas and want to build something, but sometimes just think when it comes to finances: ¿Qué hago con todos estos números? 😂

My business partner and I co-founded Ähdus Technology GmbH. Although our business was already off to a successful start, we encountered some internal bottlenecks. Through a recommendation from an acquaintance, we became aware of Simon and scheduled an initial consultation.
Even in this preliminary discussion, Simon accurately analyzed the root cause of our critical bottleneck. We subsequently engaged him for consulting services. Thanks to his expert, external perspective on our processes, we were able to resolve the challenge quickly and effectively.
Since this experience, we have repeatedly drawn on Simon's expertise – whether to identify hidden weaknesses or to address strategic sticking points. The collaboration has been an absolute asset, both personally and professionally.
Thank you for the outstanding support, Simon – we look forward to continuing our partnership!

What the work covers
Four phases. An order that makes sense.
Not a kit you pick from. Each phase builds on the one before — that is why it works.
- 01
Clarity
We look at what is actually happening: numbers, where your time goes, which clients carry you and which ones cost you. At the end of this phase you know exactly where you stand for the first time — and for most people that is the most uncomfortable and the most important moment.
- 02
Positioning
We sharpen what you stand for and who for. An offer that solves one concrete problem instead of doing a little of everything. After that you no longer have to sell yourself on price.
- 03
Clients
We build your route to clients — concrete, suited to you, and repeatable. Where your clients are, how you approach them, what you say when they ask what it costs. No longer chance, but a procedure.
- 04
System
We turn self-employment into a business: fixed procedures, clean numbers, prices that hold, and the first tasks that no longer depend on you. This is the point where you can breathe again.
The route is adapted to your situation. The order stays.
One moment — do you know about the AVGS?
If you are registered with the Agentur für Arbeit or the Jobcenter, your coaching may be fully funded, and there would be no cost to you at all. The coaching runs in English; only the application to the authority has to be in German. It takes two minutes to check whether it applies to you.
The first step costs nothing.
30 minutes, free, no sales pressure. You tell me where you stand and get an honest assessment.
