Frequently asked questions

Is every financial position statement £149?

No. The standard fee applies only within its scope. Complex work starts from £249 and the final scope and price are agreed first.

Can you include legal arguments?

I work from your facts and instructions within a practical drafting role. Legal advice should come from a regulated professional.
