Professional services quote templates

Fee proposals priced by stage, day rate or retainer, for firms that sell expertise.

A professional services quote is mostly prose, and it is read by somebody comparing three of them. The money is a fee basis rather than a total: a stage, a day rate, a percentage of salary, a monthly retainer. So these give room to define scope, and more room to state what is excluded, which is where the argument happens six weeks later. Assumptions, deliverables and the schedule of stages are set as their own sections. Suits bookkeepers, recruiters, surveyors, translators and probate work.
