Fixed pricing wherever possible
Hourly billing rewards inefficiency. You know the cost before work begins, and anything outside the agreed scope is quoted and approved first.
Policies
Engagement terms, in plain sight
Every CronosNow engagement runs on a written agreement that says what is in scope, what is not, how pricing works, and where our liability sits. There are three, one for each way we work. They are published in full so you can read them before you talk to us, not after.
Terms of service
Three engagements, three agreements
Which one applies depends on how your books are built and what we operate for you. If you are not sure, we will confirm it in writing before you sign anything.
Simple Accrual Engagement
Monthly bookkeeping on an accrual basis, with Cost of Goods Sold estimated through accounting integration tools and adjusted against inventory valuation data where it is available.
Read the termsFull Accrual Engagement
Bookkeeping plus operational support for your inventory system. COGS is driven from the inventory system itself, with landed costs calculated and inventory values reconciled back to the accounts.
Read the termsAgencies
Bookkeeping for agency businesses rather than product businesses. Built around client invoicing, multi-currency trading and payables, with no inventory or COGS layer.
Read the termsWhat they all share
The same commitments, whichever one you sign
Scope defined in two schedules
Schedule 1 lists exactly what is included. Schedule 2 lists the factors that would change the scope, and therefore the price, so nothing arrives as a surprise.
Reviewed every six months
Pricing and scope are reviewed each December and June, or sooner if your business changes materially, so the package stays matched to the work.
Your data stays yours
Original documents, accounting system accounts, data and connected applications remain your property throughout and after the engagement.
Not sure which applies
We will tell you before you commit
Most eCommerce brands land on simple or full accrual depending on whether their inventory system is the source of truth for COGS. Tell us how your books run today and we will point you at the right agreement.
