Flat fees, never percentages
Your growth shouldn't raise my price, and for Medi-Cal work, percentage-of-collections arrangements run into federal rules (42 CFR 447.10). Flat is cleaner for both of us.
Pricing
Actual prices, on an actual pricing page.
Publishing prices is the first act of the transparency you're hiring. If I'll show you my numbers before you're a client, you can trust me with yours.
Month-to-month, no setup fee
If the work isn't valuable, stop paying for it. That's the accountability structure.
Fixed-price entry points
You know the cost of finding out whether this works before you spend a dollar.
Group practices: billing & back office
Two anchors, both flat. I'm finalizing the monthly numbers from a live measurement of the practice I bill for today:
Financial Diagnostic
$250–$2,500
fixed price, scaled to your size
The full picture of your billing and books, with a ranked improvement plan.
Monthly partnership
flat $/mo from time-log
per month, flat
A flat monthly fee for ongoing financial leadership or a defined scope of billing work.
- Medi-Cal / CenCal and commercial payers included, no surcharge for the hard ones
- Month-to-month, no setup fee
What you won't see here: a percentage of your collections, a setup fee, or a 12-month contract.
Nonprofits: fractional finance & operations director
Three tiers, anchored to your budget size. If you've been shopping for a fractional CFO, Partnership is that role. The diagnostic tells you which one you actually need:
60-Day Financial Diagnostic
$2,500
fixed price, firm
The complete map of your financial operation: what's working, what isn't, and a ranked plan with costs and payoffs. Includes which tier below fits. You keep the map either way.
Core
Finance management
$2,000–$2,500
per month
Typically fits organizations under ~$2M with straightforward funding. Your books closed monthly, a dashboard your board can read, a standing monthly call, and quarterly finance-committee attendance, on a standardized system I run for every Core client. Need me at every board meeting, or have an annual audit? That's Partnership, where both are included, never billed as extras.
Partnership
Fractional finance & operations director
$4,500–$7,500
per month
Typically $2M–$15M, or any size with government contracts, multiple funders, or an annual audit. A fractional finance and operations director with nothing billed by the meeting: the monthly close, board package, cash forecast, budget season, funder reports, audit ownership. And I'm at your board and finance-committee meetings, presenting the financials and taking the questions. Scope set in the diagnostic. Limited seats.
Projects & add-ons
One-time projects, quoted as a fixed price up front, available to any tier (or on their own):
- Catch-up & cleanup: books behind or messy; fixed-price project to get current
- Systems projects: accounting-software migrations, workflow automation, controls documentation
- Capital campaign & expansion modeling: the financial model behind the big decision
- New-ED financial onboarding: 30 days of intensive orientation to your own books
- Fundraising event finance: event budget, ROI tracking, post-event reconciliation
Partnership seats are limited. Currently taking on new organizations.
If the anchors look right, the call is worth fifteen minutes.
