The founder of Otter International Proposals.

Background

Our founder spent sixteen years working in finance before starting Otter International Proposals. Finance work runs on deadlines that do not move, figures that have to reconcile, and documents that other people will check line by line. Those habits carry straight into proposal work.

An RFP response is read the same way a set of financial records is read. Evaluators look for what is missing, compare what one section says against another, and score only what they can find on the page.

Why the firm exists

Many organizations that receive an RFP have the experience to win the work but not the hours to write the response. Their staff are busy delivering existing contracts, and the proposal is assembled in the last few days before the deadline. Requirements get missed, pricing and narrative drift apart, and a capable organization is scored below a weaker one that answered more carefully.

Otter International Proposals was founded to close that gap with a personal, careful service for organizations that take their proposals seriously. Every proposal for a project we prepare is written for that one opportunity.

What the finance background means for clients

• Pricing narratives that match the fee schedule and the price form exactly
• Close attention to RFP finance solicitations for accounting, audit, banking, and other financial services
• Consistent figures, dates, and names across every section and attachment
• Realistic schedules built backward from the submission deadline

How our founder works with you

Our founder reads every inquiry and takes part in every engagement the firm accepts. You will not be handed from one person to the next. The firm takes on a limited number of proposals at a time so that each one receives the same level of attention from the first reading of the RFP to the final files.
