How to read these fees

The amounts shown are indicative ranges in US dollars. The specific range is fixed in writing before the engagement begins — depending on industry, structure, number of locations and hiring needs. There are no retrospective hourly surprises.

Third-party costs — attorneys, CPAs, government fees, premises, insurance — are billed directly between you and the respective provider. We take no share of them.
