MARTING ABOUT US
One of the features that sets us apart from most firms is our fee structure. We don’t like surprise bills, and we know our clients don’t, either. We strive to offer flat fees when possible, so that clients can make informed choices about their services and avoid surprise bills at the end of the month that can be the result of hourly billing. We believe flat fees allow us to serve clients better, so we can mutually focus on fulfilling your needs rather than tracking time. Clients have raved about this structure and their ability to better budget for the work we accomplish together. Read more
