Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of hiring a full-time senior financial analyst or corporate development manager has risen to over $100,000 per year, plus benefits. Finding qualified talent is challenging, and there may be times you don't have enough work to keep them busy. With our monthly plan, you only pay when you have work—pause anytime.

Once you become a subscriber, you can add an unlimited number of financial requests to your queue. We work through them one at a time to ensure quality.

After checkout, you'll receive an invite to our Slack channel where we collaborate through Asana or ClickUp—your choice. These platforms let you request as much help as needed and track all open items.

Most requests are completed within a week or less. More intricate, recurring, or complex requests may require additional time.

No problem. Once you're done with your current request, simply pause your subscription and return whenever you have more needs. Your remaining days carry over.

Our billing cycles are 31 days. If you use 21 days and pause, you keep the remaining 10 days for future use. Perfect for when you don't have a full month's worth of work.

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied with your outcomes or deliverables.
