Rates and Fees

To ensure that the needs of my clients are met, I work on a retainer basis only.  This structure guarantees the client a specific amount of my time each month. The client chooses how much time they want to contract for with a minimum of ten (10) hours.  Please contact me directly to discuss rates and hours.  Also, please be advised that retainer hours do not roll over into the next month. 

Definition of Billable Time:  Any time I spend related to your business is considered billable time.  In addition to the obvious things like project management, word processing and document preparation, billable time includes things such as:

v      Time spent on the phone with you, and making and answering calls on your behalf or in your interest.

v      Any reading or research I have to do to learn about your business and industry in order to be more valuable resource for you.

v      Learning any software that is specifically for you and your business.

v      Reading, composing and replying to email messages on your behalf or related to your business.

v      Time spent obtaining supplies, postage or equipment specifically on your behalf or related to your business.

Expenses:  Any expenses incurred on the client's behalf such as postage, photocopying, courier fees, office supplies, software, etc., are charged to the client and are included on the following month's invoice.  Receipts for these expenses will be provided upon request only.

Invoices and Payment:  Clients are invoiced by email or fax on the 25th of the month and payment is due by the 1st of the following month.   

Remember, I am an independent contractor and, as such, pay my own taxes, use my own equipment and work from my own office. You, as the client, do not incur any charges for these items.
