HOW WE CHARGE

Our Approach
to Fees

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Pricing built around
responsibility, not speed

At Sechler CPA, pricing reflects the responsibility we take on, the judgment we apply, and the clarity we provide. We structure our fees so clients understand what they’re paying for — and why.

01

Flat Fees & Fixed Scope

Most engagements are priced as flat fees or structured retainers. You will know the cost before work begins — no billing surprises, no watching the clock.

02

Based on Complexity

Fees reflect the complexity of your situation, the level of analysis required, and the responsibility we assume. Not on refunds, outcomes, or hours logged.

03

Scope Defines the Work

Each engagement clearly defines what is included and what is not. Services outside the defined scope require a separate agreement. This protects both sides.

04

Organization Matters

Our pricing assumes timely delivery of complete and accurate information. Changes in facts, delays, or expanded complexity may require repricing or a revised scope.
