Covered means the entities, locations, accounts, systems, and workload identified in the signed service schedule. Inclusion does not mean unlimited volume. Client staff can supply inputs and perform agreed operational tasks. Management retains approvals, funding, and signing authority.
One agreed business question using the existing records and model. Up to three scenarios, one written recommendation and 1 revision. Larger projects: separately proposed before work begins; no unexpected overage invoice or mid-project stop.
Decision-analysis and strategic-support allowances do not accumulate or roll over. Extra strategic support applies to existing output and active decisions, not unlimited new models.
The routine response target means acknowledgment and a next step during the agreed business calendar, not guaranteed resolution, same-day emergency coverage, or 24/7 availability.
The 18-month operating model includes monthly revenue, costs, working-capital assumptions, and cash consequences. Historical inputs are reconciled; future assumptions and uncertainty are labeled. It is not automatically a lender-certified three-statement model.
A five-week month still includes four Finance Leadership meetings.
Weekly forecast updates follow the actual calendar.
An interim refresh updates assumptions in the existing model; it is not a new scenario project.
How pricing works
The number of locations, entities, and reporting units in scope.
Transaction volume, accounts, payment channels, and agreed workflow.
The platforms you use and the condition of your records.
The questions to answer and the records needed to support them.
The forecasting, meetings, analysis, and involvement you need.
We explain the scope before you sign. A more complex venue can stay in a lower advisory tier with a workload-adjusted quote; complexity alone does not force an upgrade to weekly leadership. Any separately agreed payroll administration is also reflected in the quote.
A defined question. A focused project.
From $3,500 / one-time
A fixed-scope review of one agreed profitability, cash, pricing, or growth question. It is not required before recurring service.
When completed Review work can be reused during launch, the later launch scope reflects that work rather than charging for it twice.
Explore the ReviewThe details, up front
Know what your fee covers and how the engagement works.
Every recurring engagement has a separately quoted Venue Finance Launch. The standard reference is one month of the recurring base service, with the actual amount agreed before kickoff.
Launch establishes access, policies, reporting definitions, responsibilities, and the first delivery cycle. Historical reconstruction, substantial catch-up, system migrations, and custom integrations are scoped separately.
Recurring work starts at kickoff. Your proposal explains what is delivered during the initial period and when the standard reporting cycle begins.
Payroll accounting is included. Payroll administration is not part of the base fee and is quoted separately. Payroll-platform charges are disclosed separately.
We reconcile the named sales and beverage tax accounts and provide agreed information to your filing specialist. The specialist prepares and submits the returns under a separate engagement and fee.
We do not offer income-tax preparation, independent tax-planning production, or tax-only engagements. Your existing tax adviser can remain in place.
