Engagements

Clear, predictable engagements. Built for long‑term partnership.

How engagements work

You're paying for partnership, not a stopwatch.

Hourly billing rewards slow work and quietly punishes you for asking questions. Predictable monthly engagements do the opposite.

Predictable monthly engagements

Before any work begins, you get a written monthly fee. No hourly meters, no surprise invoices — if a 30‑minute call helps you make a wiser decision, that's the point.

Priced on outcomes, not hours

What matters isn't how long the work takes. It's that your organization is organized, your taxes are optimized, and you have someone trusted to call. The fee reflects the outcome.

Stable, year after year

Pricing only changes when your organization meaningfully changes — a new entity, a new revenue tier, a major shift. Otherwise, what you pay this year is what you pay next year.

One firm, one invoice

Accounting, payroll, HR consulting, advisory, and tax returns are bundled. No separate bills, no piecing things together across providers.

Common questions

A few things organizations usually ask.

What if my organization changes mid‑year?+
If something meaningful happens — you add an entity, cross a new revenue tier, or take on significant complexity — we'll re‑quote before doing the additional work. Small questions and check‑ins are always included.
Do you charge for phone calls and emails?+
No. The monthly engagement covers all the regular back‑and‑forth. The whole point of a true partnership is that you don't hesitate to reach out before making a decision.
Do I have to be in Ripley or Parkersburg to work with you?+
Not at all. Our offices are in Ripley and Parkersburg, and we serve organizations across West Virginia and the Mid‑Ohio Valley through a fully cloud‑based client experience. The relationship feels exactly the same whether you're across town or across the state.
Do you work with nonprofits?+
Yes — nonprofit advisory, fund accounting, grant tracking, and board‑ready reporting are a core part of our practice. We work with nonprofits and community organizations of every size.
When are fees billed?+
Monthly via ACH on a recurring schedule. No surprise invoices, no piecemeal billing — just a predictable monthly partnership.
Is there a minimum engagement?+
Matheny & Company is built around long‑term relationships. We're not the right fit for one‑off, lowest‑cost filings — but there's no multi‑year contract either. We earn the partnership every month.
