Frequently Asked Questions

Boxford Partners takes its name from Boxford, Massachusetts—a small town just north of Boston where our founder spent countless hours on the golf course at Far Corner and eating the world's best chocolate chip cookies at Nason's Farm.

Boxford had something special: it maintained its small-town character while being just minutes from one of America's great cities. That balance—intimate yet connected, focused yet accessible—is exactly how we approach partnerships with our clients.

We're not a massive consulting firm where you're a ticket number. And we're not so small we lack the tools and expertise to deliver. We're right in that sweet spot: close enough to know your business inside and out, connected enough to bring enterprise-grade solutions.

Just like Boxford itself—small-town attention, big-city access.

We don't try to shoehorn offerings or pricing—every company is different, so every assessment is different. What you actually need depends on your current systems, your team's workflow, and where you're losing the most revenue.

That said, we work on fixed-scope projects (not hourly billing), and most implementations range from $5,000-$25,000 depending on complexity. We'll give you a clear, customized price upfront after a free 30-minute audit where we assess your specific situation and identify exactly what needs to be fixed.

No surprises, no scope creep, no endless consulting fees—just a straightforward price for the work you actually need.

Most clients see their first automation live within 2-3 weeks. Full system integration typically takes 4-8 weeks depending on the number of tools we're connecting and the complexity of your workflows.

We don't do 6-month discovery phases. We build fast, test with real data, and iterate based on what's actually working.

Usually not. We're tool-agnostic and work with whatever you're already using—whether that's HubSpot, Salesforce, Monday.com, or spreadsheets. Our job is to make your existing tools talk to each other, not force you onto a new platform.

If we do recommend switching something, it's because it's genuinely holding you back—and we'll show you the math.

Perfect—neither are most of our clients. We handle all the technical implementation. You just need to:

1. Tell us what's broken in your current process
2. Give us access to your systems
3. Test the automations we build

We explain everything in plain English, train your team, and document how it all works. No technical knowledge required.

Three things:

1. We build, not advise - You're not getting a 40-page PowerPoint. You're getting working systems.
2. We move fast - Weeks, not months. No endless discovery phases.
3. We're operator-focused - We've run businesses. We know the difference between "technically correct" and "actually useful."

Big consulting firms optimize for billable hours. We optimize for getting you results and getting out of your way.

Book a free 30-minute AI Readiness Audit. We'll:

1. Review your current systems and workflows
2. Identify where you're losing revenue
3. Show you exactly what we'd build and how much it would cost

No pressure, no sales pitch. Just a clear assessment of what's broken and how to fix it.
