Cost - Full Service
DHAC follows an all-inclusive monthly pricing structure for our full service offering.
Cost Overview for the Full Service Model
Although prices vary based on the specific needs of your business, the range you can expect for a Fractional FP&A system under our full-service model that includes:
-
A monthly interactive reporting package similar to our examples.
-
A monthly review meeting (delivered remotely)
-
Monthly follow-up conversations after the review meeting.
-
Ongoing advice about how to continuously improve your FP&A processes
starts at $1,600 and will not exceed $2,400 per month.
We also offer a service starting at $1,000 per month, for clients that do not require a monthly review meeting or advice on how to shape their FP&A processes. This pricing model is available only after one year of working with DHAC.
We also offer hourly consulting services, which provides a lower cost option than our full service model. Hourly consulting services are a great way to begin working with DHAC and can transition into the full service model at a later time if you choose.
As explained below, we provide our services under the full-service model at 75% less than the cost of hiring a single, senior FP&A staff member in house. If your organization is lookin to hire in-house to strengthen your FP&A processes, we would welcome the chance to provide you with a demo of our full service model, or to schedule a call to discuss our hourly consulting services to see if we can provide the same or similar services your are looking for but at a significantly reduced cost.
DHAC:
Hiring in House:
Fees for a full service fractional FP&A system - starting at $1,600/month or $19,200/year
Average compensation (including bonus) of an experienced Finance Manager - $90,000+
Estimated statutory benefits - $5,500+
Estimated other employer-paid benefits - $7,500+
Estimated direct IT costs - $5,000
Estimated other office related costs - $5,000
Total estimated cost to hire in house: $113,000/yr
(Excluding the cost of FP&A software purchases, see below for more info about FP&A software pricing.)
The above example illustrates how DHAC's fees are less than a third of the cost of hiring a single, senior FP&A staff member in house.
Also, if your organization is looking to strengthen your FP&A processes you are likely also looking into purchasing software to run your FP&A systems. The cost of FP&A software varies widely.
FP&A software that are designed for small and medium sized business, and that include comparable functionalities that DHAC provides, would include providers such as Vena and DataRails.
Pricing for these software packages are not disclosed, but vedr.com provides the median annual ongoing cost for Vena as $23K /yr, and for DataRails as $22K/yr (as of Jan 2025), with significantly higher costs in the first year of implementation and increasing depending on the number of users and added functionalities chosen.
There are lower cost software options available such as Sage Intacct Planning and Budgeto but these software packages come with reduced functionalities as compared to DHAC and may not be compatible with your existing accounting software leading to increased manual work every month.
Working with DHAC eliminates the need for any additional software costs as we have already incurred these costs and are in the business of selling the final output of our systems to our clients. Also, because we accept only summarized financial data, we are compatible with any accounting/ERP software, as we support "many-to-one" consolidation of your GL structure. After mapping your GL structure to the summarize account structure that will be sent to DHAC (which is the level of detail that will be discussed at the meeting), monthly data submission will an easy process, and is assisted by our data entry tool.
