Why fixed fee pricing?

The standard method of billing in professional services has traditionally had an emphasis on providing services in exchange for an hourly rate. We have come to the realization that this method is an archaic method of pricing. The longer we take to do the job the more we get. While, you as a business owner, you need answers fast! Hourly billing does not promote an emphasis on customer service or an incentive to complete jobs quickly.

The biggest issue with hourly billing you have no idea how much the job will be until the bill is received. We don’t think that is fair on you. As a courtesy to you, we think you deserve to know in advance how much the job will cost and what it entails. As a modern & progressive company we provide a fixed price agreement model.

What does this mean for you?

  • No worry about cost. You don’t have to be afraid to contact us with questions and be worried about receiving a bill for the time.
  • It opens the lines of communication We encourage constant communication with your business. Becoming your trusted advisor is our mission and open communication is the key.
