Pricing
What an engagement costs
Published fees, in the open. Most businesses start with the Current-State Audit, then move into a Partnership Investment Packet phase. Every engagement is quoted in writing with its own payment schedule before any work begins.

How billing works
Deposit, then milestone payments
Engagements begin with a deposit invoice, with the balance billed against milestones set out in your Partnership Investment Packet. Invoices are paid by card through Square, and every receipt lands in your client portal. Nothing outside the signed packet gets built without a written addendum and its own fee. Engagements run under a Master Services Agreement governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, with venue in Lake County, Illinois.
