I’m way behind in my bookkeeping. Help!
Don’t worry, you aren’t alone. One of our favorite notes from a client intake meeting is: “Has his 2008 entered into software, 2009 is organized, 2010 and 2011 are in the same garbage bag together”.
Why don’t you charge by the hour?
It’s been our experience that hourly billing creates – a kind of – adversarial system where our clients are reluctant to ask us questions (for fear of being billed) and where the level of our compensation rises the more inefficiently we perform our work. Origami is structured to ignore billable hours because we don’t trust ourselves well enough to operate under incentives to do bad things!*
*We are fairly certain we adapted this concept from the inimitable Charlie Munger. We highly recommend all of his wisdom.
What if my business changes direction? What reason would Origami have to put me in a lower price category?
If we’re charging you the wrong price, someone is going to come along and charge you the right price.
So how much do I have to pay for you to do the annual corporate tax return?
Nothing. It’s included in your monthly fee. Really.
