CFO service fees exclude bookkeeping unless explicitly included in a separate bundle. Detailed financial models, extensive fundraising, M&A, large projects and additional hours are separately scoped. Service responsibilities and routine support levels are agreed before the engagement begins.

Combine bookkeeping and CFO services, or engage us for CFO support alone where suitable records are available. Our combined packages are priced as coordinated services — not the sum of standalone fees.
