Questions
About pricing and fit
Initial inquiries are document-free. Prefer to talk first? Ask for a 20-minute call on the Sprint form.
Had a finding last year?
The corrective-action file is part of the Sprint: each finding next to the dated record of what management did about it.
Should we start with the Review or the Sprint?
If you already know the backlog and want it done, ask about the Sprint directly. If you’re not sure what’s missing or whether to hand it off, start with the Readiness Review. Its full $750 counts toward a Sprint or service package bought within 60 days of your report date.
How does Sprint payment work?
A fixed price agreed in writing before any work starts. Half on acceptance, half on delivery. No hourly billing. The three weeks start when we have access to your existing records.
Do you take on smaller jobs?
Some needs are narrower than a Sprint: setting up time-and-effort certification, writing a missing policy or closing out a grant. When the need is real, we scope and price it in writing before any commitment.
What can make a Sprint the wrong fit?
Incomplete books, missing historical evidence and unresolved accounting judgments need the appropriate provider or adviser first. Fieldwork already underway, or a deadline too close for the work, needs an honest timing check.
What are the refunds on the Workbook and Binder Kit?
Both are independent purchases with a 14-day no-questions refund. Neither is required before asking about a Sprint.
