Terms

Engagements run 12 months, invoiced monthly. The term protects you as much as it protects us: we staff your engagement properly and never drop your books mid-year. Pay the year upfront and get 2 months free (retainer only). The one-time onboarding fee covers system setup, historical clean-up, and your reporting build; you pay it once. Transaction and recovery engagements are time-bound by design. Every engagement under NDA.
