Fees:
I charge a flat fee of $500 for this service. I expect this project to take a total of 2 to 3 hours of my time. Much of this is purely educational. There will be separate charges from the pension administrator. Plan setup fees and administration fees are with 3d parties and are outside the scope of this agreement.
Additional consulting services beyond the scope of this agreement will be billed at $250 per hour. Examples include Annual Review of Pension Plan beyond that addressed in your Pension Administration Agreement.
Consulting time may be purchased in the online store in 15-minute increments.

I do not anticipate any additional costs and expenses necessary to complete this project (postage, shipping, travel, etc.) If necessary, expenses will be passed on at cost.
Billing:
The consulting fee must be paid prior to the start of any work.
Completion Time:
Completion of this project will be a priority, but phone calls, meetings, and delivery of documents from third parties is outside of my control.
Payment:
Payment may be made by credit card in the online store. Payment constitutes acceptance of this Scope of Project.
Termination:
You have the right to terminate our business relationship at any time. Unused consulting time will be refunded at the $250 per hour rate. Needless to say, I hope any such action would be preceded by a conversation. I have the same right regarding termination.
If you have any questions or suggestions with regard to anything set out above or any other aspects of our business relationship, please feel free to contact me. Otherwise, if all appears to you to be in order, payment constitutes agreement to the terms of this agreement.
