Pricing

Fixed price. Defined deliverable. Stated timeline.

Every engagement is quoted as a firm fixed price so an agency knows the full cost before work begins. Engagements typically range from $4,500 to $10,000, scoped to the need.

Package 1

Budget variance analysis and monthly reporting

Monthly engagement, three month minimum

Monthly comparison of actual spend to approved budget by line item, with a written narrative explaining each significant difference and the driver behind it. Includes a year end forecast, a one page summary for leadership, and the supporting workbook with every number traceable to its source.

Package 2

Process documentation and desk procedures

Firm fixed price, five weeks

Written desk procedures for a financial or administrative function, covering the recurring battle rhythm, step by step instructions, required inputs, expected outputs, and control points. Written in plain language so a new employee can follow it without training. Includes one revision cycle.

Package 3

Program financial health assessment

Firm fixed price, 45 days

Independent review of a program or department's financial position, examining budget baseline integrity, spend rate against plan, staffing cost against plan, and forecast reliability. Delivered as a written findings report with prioritized recommendations and a briefing to leadership.

How a California agency can award this work

Engagements are priced well below the $250,000 threshold, which allows a state agency or CSU campus to award through the informal small business process under Government Code 14838.5 with quotations from two certified small businesses. A five percent small business bid preference applies on competitive solicitations, DVBE participation counts toward the three percent statewide goal, and microbusiness status qualifies the firm for purchases the state reserves for certified microbusinesses.
