Questions
Who approves the deliverable?
A named member of the engagement team reviews it and a partner approves it. Their name, title and credentials are printed on the report, and the approval is recorded against the engagement in the portal.
What is the minimum term?
Twelve months, invoiced monthly in advance, or annually in advance where agreed at intake.
What happens next year?
The portal reminds you 90, 60 and 30 days before it is due, and you start a new version of this engagement pre-filled from the answers you gave last time. You update only what has changed, and you see a side-by-side of what changed before you submit.
Where do our documents live?
In private storage, accessible only through short-lived signed links, with every view and download logged. Nothing is attached to email. Our sub-processors and data residency are published on the trust page.
How do we pay?
By card through Stripe after you complete intake in the portal. You can save a draft without paying; submission happens only after payment succeeds.
