Pricing · starting points, scoped on the call, never a surprise
Finance through operations, at the depth you need. One function or all of them, wholly or fractionally. These are starting points: once we have seen the books, we find the arrangement that fits. Founding-client terms are open on the first three engagements.
$2,500 · 30 days
Thirty days inside the company, then the plan we would run if it were ours, then a debrief where you argue with it and a signed scope for whatever survives. Credited to month one.
$3,500 to $9,500 / mo
Fractional CFO or COO, in the chair and accountable. You set the scope on the call and it moves without a new agreement: one function, several, or finance and operations end to end. You keep the work and the customers.
$225 / hr, or scoped to the job
Owner's rep on a build, a quality or commissioning program stood up from zero, a rollout, or a single problem you want off your desk. If the hours turn into a project, every hour billed comes off the project fee.
A smaller base, a share of what we build
For owners who would rather pay from results. We build the systems and the pipeline, stay in the seat, and take a share of the new income we can trace to the work. Terms are set in writing once we have seen the books, with a review at six months and a buyout you can use anytime.
A smaller first step: The Read is $500 and one week. Twelve months of statements and one job you are not sure made money, two pages back, credited in full to the Diagnostic. Training is inside every engagement above at no extra charge.
We start where your budget is, with the moves that pay back first, and grow with you. Every client also joins a network: we send our clients work, connect people who should know each other, and take care of the people who send us referrals.
Some of our best conversations are with people who are not running a business yet. You have money to put to work, equipment you plan to rent out, a trade you want to take out on your own, or a sense that it is time to do something different. We can figure out how to get you started. From zero, we jump in, set up the books and the compliance, install the systems, and help you go after it with the playbook we run our own companies on, built to be repeatable.
I am a builder and a connector as well as an entrepreneur, and I believe we can both win. Have an idea for how we could work together? Drop a line or send an email. Terrance Butler, Principal
