Our model
Our service commitments
One consultant. Two levels of review.
The consultant delivers from Morocco. Nothing reaches you without two reviews: a senior review, then partner sign-off.

Your engagement, managed end to end.Let’s talk
Confidentiality & compliance
Your rules become ours.
Confidentiality and compliance are agreed from the very first discussion, before any engagement starts.
Our 4 confidentiality commitments
NDA signed
A non-disclosure agreement is signed with your company before any documents are exchanged. Each consultant also signs a personal undertaking.
Your policies applied
IT security, acceptable-use policy, internal procedures: the consultant meets all your requirements, just like your own teams.
Data stays in your systems
The consultant works on your tools and with your access. No data is copied outside your environment.
GDPR and controlled access
Personal data handled in line with the GDPR. Access limited to what is strictly necessary and removed at the end of the engagement.
Our consultants
Senior profiles, hand-picked one by one.
We only put forward consultants we would have hired into our own teams.
Top schools
Graduates of leading French and Moroccan business and engineering schools.
International standards
Trained at the leading audit and consulting firms.
Selected by the partners
Every consultant is chosen by the partners for their technical expertise and rigour.
Our team
Two partners, one standard.
Trained in the Big 4, with experience in corporate finance and independent consulting. That is the standard we apply to every engagement.

Frequently asked questions
A clear framework, before you commit.
How do we start an engagement?
In four simple steps:
- You email contact@synerive.com with the context, the profile you need and the timeline.
- A partner calls you back for a scoping discussion of about 30 minutes. An NDA is signed before any documents are exchanged.
- Within 48 hours, you receive a written proposal: anonymised profile, scope, deliverables and budget.
- You meet the consultant if you wish, then the engagement starts.
To try us out before committing, you can start with a 2 to 4 week pilot engagement.
How quickly can a consultant start?
It depends on the profile and their availability:
- For a common profile, we propose a consultant soon after scoping.
- For a rarer or highly specialised profile, the search may take a little longer.
- Either way, we give you a realistic start date from the first discussion.
We would rather commit to a timeline we can keep than promise a start we could not deliver.
How do you work with a partner firm?
We support your teams on a defined scope, while staying in the background:
- Profiles are presented to you anonymously.
- The end-client relationship stays yours: the consultant works with your methods and formats.
- Our quality review is included, at no extra cost to you.
- Invoicing goes directly to your firm.
Confidentiality and non-solicitation rules are agreed in writing before the start.
How is this different from a solo freelancer?
A solo freelancer is one person, with no reviewer and no back-up. With Synerive:
- The consultant is selected by the partners.
- Every deliverable goes through two reviews before it reaches you.
- A back-up is identified in case of absence.
- A partner remains your point of contact from start to finish.
You get the security of a firm, at a rate close to a freelancer’s.
Do the consultants work remotely?
Yes, our consultants work fully remotely from Morocco:
- Working hours aligned with your teams.
- Work on your tools and access: email, video, ERP, VPN.
- Weekly video check-in with the consultant and their supervisor.
- Occasional on-site visits for a kick-off or a presentation, with expenses agreed in advance.
Your teams work with them as they would with a remote colleague.
How is the consultant chosen?
We start from your need, not from whichever CV is available:
- We define with you the skills, sector, tools and working language.
- The partners shortlist a profile from a top school, trained at the leading firms.
- You receive their anonymised CV, then you can interview them.
- If they are not the right fit, we propose another profile.
How is confidential data handled?
Confidentiality is agreed before the start:
- The consultant works on your tools: your data stays in your systems.
- Access is limited to what is strictly necessary and removed at the end of the engagement.
- An NDA is signed with your company, and each consultant signs a confidentiality undertaking before starting.
- Your security rules (VPN, workstations, approved tools) apply.
What are your rates?
Our rates are highly competitive: our consultants work from Morocco and we do not carry the overhead of a large firm, with no compromise on quality.
- The price depends on the consultant’s seniority, the scope and the duration.
- Engagements are billed per day or at a fixed price, as you prefer.
- The two-level review of deliverables is always included.
