Hourly contract
I'm not your guy if…
- …you want a body shop that bills hours without asking why.
- …you need someone to say yes to everything.
- …you're looking for the cheapest possible checkbox — accessibility, security, and quality are not optional extras here.
Still here? Good — we'll probably get along.
The fine print, plainly
- Fractional CIO is a fixed-fee engagement: $10,000 + tax per month for 10 hours per week of service, non-negotiable, three-month minimum contract. The 25% onsite and travel-time surcharge applies.
- Onsite presence and after-hours calls each add 25% to the listed rate.
- Project-contract services are scoped and quoted before work begins — no surprise invoices.
- Conversations wander — that's fine. When a higher-rate engagement detours into lower-rate territory, I'm happy to help right then and there; the engagement's rate stays the engagement's rate.
- The first consultation is free: 30–60 minutes, depending on the need and the project.
