SQL Server Audits Rates and Billing

Consulting Rates

Rates: $200 / hour.

Pay for the help you need - nothing more.

How Does a Typical Engagement Work?

Engagements start when you contact me about your problems or concerns - or to initiate an Audit.

Together, we'll draw up an estimate of how many hours it will likely take to address the situation. This initial estimate and consultation is free of charge.

Once you give me the green light, I'll go to work - keeping you apprised of progress and status along the way. And I'll contact you if something needs your attention, or if a problem starts to threaten the scope of our initial estimate.

With Audits, there are typically a number of issues that need to be addressed once the audit is complete. The findings document I provide as part of the audit will help you to remedy these issues yourself, but most of my clients turn to me to either help implement the fixes outlined in the findings document, or provide additional guidance as they work through these fixes themselves. Either way, I'll be there to help if you need it - and all at the same rate.

Billing

Unless otherwise arranged, I invoice around the 1st and 16th of each month on NET 15 terms (i.e. payment is due within 15 days of invoice). However if I've only just started an engagement or there hasn't been a lot of activity on your projects within a billing period, I may forgo invoicing until the next billing cycle.
