Head-Office Shared Services Optimisation

Designing and tuning the HR, operations and legal-support functions a head office runs on behalf of the group.

A head office earns its keep when the functions it centralises are genuinely cheaper and better run centrally. We map what your head office currently does for the group, cost it against the alternative, and redesign the service model - catalogue, service levels, intake routes, ownership, and the intra-group recharge basis that has to survive a transfer-pricing conversation. The output is an operating design and the documents to run it; your own people, or a provider you choose, operate it.

What this engagement delivers

Head-office service catalogue with owners and service levels
Function-by-function centralise / distribute / outsource assessment
Intra-group service agreement structure and recharge basis documentation
Target operating model for HR, operations and legal-support functions
Transition plan with sequencing, dependencies and named accountabilities

What is deliberately excluded

These are not gaps we would fill for an extra fee. Some are licensed activities in Finland that we are not registered for; the rest are things a management consultancy should not be doing for a client it also advises.

Operating your payroll, HR or legal function on your behalf
Tax rulings or transfer-pricing opinions - we document the basis, your tax adviser signs it
Employment-law advice on individual cases

How it runs

01Executive briefing45-60 minutes
A no-charge conversation about the structure, the constraint and the decision that has to be taken. We tell you here if the work is not ours to do.

A scope document: objective, deliverables, exclusions, the people needed on your side, and the basis of fees. Nothing starts without it signed.
03Diagnostic2-5 weeks
Document review, structured interviews, and a findings session. The diagnostic ends with a decision point, including the option to stop.
04DeliveryPer scope
The agreed deliverables, produced with your team rather than handed over at the end, against a published workplan.
05Handover1-2 weeks
Documents, owners and the operating cadence transferred to named people in your organisation, with a written handover record.

How we use the information in this form

Controller: Quantum Stakes Oy, Henry Fordin katu 5 C, 00150 Helsinki, Finland (Business ID 3195161-8). Contact: privacy@quantumstakes.net.
What we collect: The company or group name, your name, your business email address, the area of enquiry and the organisation size you select, and your message. We also store a truncated IP prefix and the version of this notice you were shown. Nothing else on this form is collected - the only other input is the hidden spam check described below, which stores nothing.
Purpose: Answering your enquiry, arranging an executive briefing if you want one, and preparing a written scope if we go further.
Lawful basis: GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) - steps taken at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract Where you are enquiring on behalf of an organisation rather than yourself, we also rely on our legitimate interest in responding to business correspondence (Art. 6(1)(f)).
No marketing: Sending the advisory enquiry or general contact form does not subscribe you to our newsletter or to any other marketing.
Spam check: Both forms contain one hidden decoy field, kept off-screen and out of the tab order, that a person never sees or fills in. If it arrives with anything in it the submission is discarded unread and nothing is stored. It is not personal data and it is never written to our database. It exists so that we do not have to load a third-party CAPTCHA, which would place a tracker on a site whose Cookie Policy says there is none.
Retention: 24 months from your last contact with us, unless a signed engagement or a statutory retention period requires longer. Then deleted.
Recipients: Our own advisory team, and our EU-based hosting and email providers acting as processors under Art. 28 agreements. We do not sell your data, share it with advertising networks, or transfer it outside the EU/EEA.
Your rights: Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection at any time - write to the address above. You may also complain to the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman (Tietosuojavaltuutetun toimisto).
Not required: Providing this information is voluntary and nothing on this form asks you to consent to us handling your enquiry - the lawful basis above is what permits it. If you would rather not use the form at all, email us directly at info@quantumstakes.net.
