Who This Is For

Newleaf works with business owners and leadership teams who want clarity and confidence in how their technology is managed — without building a full internal IT function.

This is a good fit if you:

  • Are a business owner, CEO, or part of the leadership team
  • Lead a business with 1–500 staff
  • Depend on technology but lack senior IT leadership in-house
  • Find IT decisions reactive, unclear, or vendor-led
  • Want fewer surprises and clearer visibility of risk
  • Need independent guidance, not another provider selling tools
  • Value calm, experienced advice over urgency and hype

The Problem We Solve

For many businesses, technology works — until it doesn’t.

Over time, decisions are made quickly, vendors change, systems grow, and responsibility becomes unclear. Nothing feels broken enough to fix, but nothing feels fully under control either.

Newleaf helps businesses address the quiet problems that lead to costly surprises.

Does this sound familiar?

  • IT is reactive, not planned
  • Vendors influence key decisions
  • Security is confusing and hard to prioritise
  • Systems feel overly complex
  • No one owns the big picture
  • Future decisions feel uncertain

Pricing & How it Works

Newleaf works on a monthly retainer model, giving you ongoing access to senior IT advisory and fractional CTO support — without the cost or commitment of a full-time executive.

Rather than billing hourly or reacting to problems as they arise, we focus on preventing issues, guiding decisions, and reducing risk over time.

Let’s Start With a Conversation

If you’re unsure whether your technology is supporting the business as well as it should, a short conversation can bring clarity.

The free confidence call is a chance to:

-Talk through your current setup
-Identify where uncertainty or risk may exist
-Understand what level of support would actually be useful

There’s no pressure to move forward. If Newleaf isn’t the right fit, we’ll tell you.

Frequently asked questions

Do you provide day-to-day IT support or a helpdesk?

No. Newleaf provides IT advisory and fractional CTO services, not day-to-day support or break/fix IT.

We focus on leadership, oversight, and decision-making. If you already have an IT provider or internal team, we work alongside them. If not, we can help you select and manage the right providers.

What happens if we need more support than our retainer includes?

Each plan includes a set number of capacity units per month. If additional support is required, extra capacity units can be added by agreement.

Pricing for additional units is based on your retainer level, and all work is agreed upfront so there are no surprises.

If extra support becomes a regular need, we’ll recommend adjusting your plan to better fit your requirements.

Can we engage Newleaf without a monthly retainer?

Yes. For organisations that need one-off guidance, Newleaf offers ad-hoc advisory support.

Ad-hoc engagements are charged at $1,999 per capacity unit, subject to availability. Retainer clients receive priority access and better value, which is why most ongoing relationships move to a retainer.

How is a capacity unit defined?

A capacity unit represents a block of senior advisory and leadership effort, used for activities such as:

  • Strategy and planning
  • Vendor and provider oversight
  • Risk and security reviews
  • Decision validation
  • Incident and escalation leadership

Capacity units are outcome-focused rather than hourly, which keeps engagements predictable and aligned to value.

How do we get started, and is there any risk?

Most clients begin with a free confidence call to see if Newleaf is the right fit.

For Foundation and Growth plans, we also offer a 30-day confidence guarantee. If you don’t feel clearer or more confident after the first month, you can cancel and receive a refund.

Strategic engagements include a defined onboarding period and a formal 90-day review to ensure the partnership is working as expected.
