Engagement terms

Billing approach.
Tailored to your project, aligned with your priorities.

Every engagement is different: a startup business plan has nothing in common with an M&A divestiture, and a one-off Tier 1 CFO mission isn’t comparable to a recurring Tier 3 one. No public price list — but a clear billing logic for each type of mission. And a complimentary 30-minute diagnostic to scope the need before any quote.

By service

Our billing logic, service by service.

Four main modes, each tailored to the nature of the work. Detailed pricing comes with the quote, after the complimentary diagnostic.

📊
Service · Outsourced CFO

Outsourced CFO

Monthly retainer per tier

The Outsourced CFO works on a monthly retainer. The amount depends on the tier chosen (1, 2, or 3), which determines the number of days worked per month and the scope of deliverables (one-off diagnostic, recurring oversight, or full finance outsourcing). All tiers can be adjusted mid-mission to accommodate your activity peaks (closing, fundraising, due diligence).

Format
Monthly retainer · Days/month per tier
Commitment
No minimum duration imposed
  • Tier 1: 2-week one-off mission (diagnostic and action plan)
  • Tier 2: 2 to 4 days per month (recurring)
  • Tier 3: 5 to 10 days per month (full finance outsourcing)
  • Data & AI stack included in all tiers (Pennylane, Qonto, OpenAI, n8n)
  • On-site, remote, or hybrid depending on your way of working
💼
Service · Transaction Services

Transaction Services

Setup fee + retainer + success fee

For fundraising, divestiture, and acquisition operations, billing combines three components: a scoping setup fee (audit, valuation, document structuring), a monthly retainer for the mission duration (typically 4 to 9 months), and a success fee at closing indexed on the amount raised or the sale price. This structure aligns our interests with yours.

📑
Service · Business Plan

Business Plan

Project-based fee

The business plan is billed on a project basis. The amount depends on the stage (pre-seed, Series A, M&A), the complexity of the business model, the scope of deliverables (financial model, pitch deck, executive summary, strategic memo), and the timeline. The BP is included in our Tier 2 and 3 CFO engagements.

Format
Project-based fee · 3 to 8 week timeline
Included with CFO Tier 2 or 3
No additional billing
  • Pre-seed / seed startup BP
  • Series A / B scale-up BP
  • Transaction BP (divestiture, acquisition, build-up)
  • 2 iterations included in the package
  • All source files belong to you
💡
Service · Innovation financing

Innovation financing

Success fee only

For non-dilutive financing (grants, refundable advances, Bpifrance startup loans, bank financing), billing is success fee only, indexed on the amount obtained. No fixed fees, no risk for you: if we don’t secure anything, you don’t pay anything.
