Mid-market and enterprise clients are facing real pressure, regulatory, reputational, and financial. Here’s how firms are stepping in to help.
If your clients are $10M+ in revenue, tendering frequently, or part of supply chains for larger businesses, they’re either being asked to report emissions or will be soon. The firms winning this work aren’t waiting for clients to ask. They know that it may not even make sense for the client to ask them - so they're adding valuable insights in their newsletters, posting on their socials and emailing their largest clients. They’re offering four clear service models, depending on the client’s need and internal capacity.
1. Do It For Them
Firms are using Sumday to complete a baseline, prepare a client-facing report, and present findings alongside a dashboard showing emissions breakdown and reduction opportunities.
📌 Example: “We charged $15,000 to establish the baseline, deliver the report, and walk them through it. It led to more advisory work on costing out the initiatives that could lead to reduction and presenting the business case.”
2. Implement With Them
If a client has a sustainability or finance lead eager to take this on, firms are offering implementation support, setting up Sumday, establishing processes, and reviewing the first pass.
📌 What you charge: Implementation fees, billed hourly or as a package. Sumday supports this with templates, checklists, and onboarding guidance. We've got your back if you go down this path, if you look great, Sumday looks great - same mission.
3. Make It Monthly
Once the baseline is set, carbon accounting becomes a repeatable process. Firms are bundling it into month-end close or higher-tier monthly packages as “monthly carbon accounting.”
📌 This adds value, deepens the relationship, and aligns with how you already serve the client.
4. Audit the Output
If your firm provides assurance services, you can remain independent while pointing clients toward Sumday. We handle implementation—your team reviews the output.
📌 Firms are using Sumday to streamline audit-readiness and deliver work that meets assurance standards without the Excel headaches.
