Hourly Plan
The standard hourly rate is $25.00 per hour. This plan is best suited for small, time-based projects.  This is only when Assistant Services & Associates is required to purchase supplies on behalf of the client when needed supplies/materials are not supplied at the time services are provided. If a deposit is paid, the balance will be due at the conclusion of the project.

Per Project Plan
Many clients will prefer to pay for services on a "per project" basis. With this service, clients are provided with an estimate of the cost. A 25% deposit (if applicable) will be required.  If a deposit is paid, the balance is due at the conclusion of the project.

Ongoing Services

Often clients will request specific services to be performed by Assistant Services & Associates which is outside of the retainer plans and general lines of services, and a monthly payment has been negotiated and agreed on.  Therefore, a $300 deposit is required.  This deposit covers all upfront expected and unexpected expenses on behalf of the client to which all receipts are maintained and shared with the client to keep them informed.
