Fixed fees where possible. Transparent hourly rate where not.
Most compliance and setup work is quoted as a fixed fee or "from" price, so you know what you're paying upfront. Anything beyond that — complex advisory, audit objections, multi-entity restructures — is billed at our hourly rate in 15-minute increments.
