Billing Policies
R.W. Mann & Company recognizes that clients
look for value and efficiency from their advisors,
and we are responsive to that demand. While
our normal billing arrangement is based on hourly
fees for advisory services, with invoices prepared
monthly, we are prepared to explore other fee
arrangements that may be more suitable to a particular
client’s needs.
Hourly Fee Arrangements
Under Mann & Company's standard hourly fee
arrangement, the fees for our professional services
are based upon the firm’s hourly rates for those
advisors and other firm personnel who will perform
services on your behalf. When feasible and efficient,
services may be performed by affiliated firms
or other staff members operating under the supervision
of the engagement leader.
In addition to our fees, we expect to be paid
for disbursements and other charges incurred on a
client's behalf. Such items may include data
acquisition fees, telecommunications charges, online
research, report preparation, messenger and delivery
services, travel (airfare, lodging, meals and
ground transportation, including mileage), and
if appropriate, business meals and conferences.
Alternative Fee Arrangements
In today’s competitive and economic environment,
situations requiring advisory services may not
justify traditional fee arrangements. We
will work with clients to develop alternative financial arrangements
to meet their individual needs. Mann & Company
has developed a number of innovative strategies for
clients, including fixed retainers, task billing,
success fees and others.
Your Bill
We encourage client questions on all matters,
and we welcome and encourage your feedback.
If you have specific billing requirements, policies
and procedures, we will work with you to
accommodate your needs. Our billing function
is flexible and enables us to meet individual billing
objectives as well as provide you will a clear
and timely record of the services undertaken and
costs incurred on your behalf.
