Pricing
Three tiers. One fixed monthly fee.
Pick the depth of engagement that matches how involved you want us. No hourly billing, no upsells, no contingency.
Reporting
The signed monthly pack — for owners with their own rhythm.
- ✓ Monthly signed board pack
- ✓ Live dashboard access
- ✓ Prior-actions tracker — accountability across cycles
- ✓ Email Q&A — 2 business day response
Advisory
Add the conversation — most owners want this one.
- ✓ Everything in Reporting
- ✓ Monthly review call (60 minutes) — walk through the pack
- ✓ Quarterly strategic check-in
- ✓ Email Q&A — same business day response
Embedded
Fractional CFO in your corner. In the business, not just at month-end.
- ✓ Everything in Advisory
- ✓ Ad hoc availability between cycles

One-off onboarding fee applies for non-Xero clients (covers the data-mapping setup so future months are touchless). 30 days notice either side, per the engagement letter.
Tier comparison
What's in each tier.

Where the value lands
A complete strategic engagement. A fraction of the cost.
You're not paying for hours. You're paying for output and an advisor accountable to the goals you set. Compare the shape of the engagement, not the line on the invoice.
| Option | What you pay | What you actually receive | Gap you have to cover |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-house CFO | $250k–$400k+/year plus super, leave, on-costs | Full-time senior finance leader on payroll | Recruiting, managing, and retaining the role — full-time capacity most SMEs don't need |
| Big4 / boutique advisory | $400–$800 per hour scope creep common | Senior advice when you book a meeting | Monthly cadence; agenda; the work between meetings; accountability across cycles |
| SaaS dashboards | Per-seat tiered pricing | Charts and KPIs in a browser | Interpretation, decisions, accountability — all on you |
| Fahy Advisory | $2,500 – $7,500 per month three fixed tiers, everything included | Signed monthly board pack · live dashboard · review call · prior-actions accountability — sized to your tier | Tax and BAS lodgement — we stay in our lane and work alongside your accountant |
Senior finance leadership without the salary line. A complete engagement without the hourly invoice. Decisions without the dashboard fatigue. That's where the value lands.
How we price
Four principles.
-
The price is the price.
Fixed monthly fee. No hourly billing. No upsell tiers that flex on usage.
-
Sized to engagement, not the hour.
Which tier you pick reflects how involved you want us to be — not how many emails we exchange.
-
30 days notice either side.
Per the engagement letter. We don't lock you in.
-
Onboarding fee for non-Xero clients.
A one-off fee to author the data-mapping setup. Every future month then runs touchless from the same export.
