Yes. We do not engage retainer clients without first mapping your situation — it ensures the right tier and the right scope. The preliminary consultation is a 45-minute paid online session ($250).

After the 6-month minimum, you can move to a lower tier with 30 days' notice or pause for up to 90 days during periods of low activity.
Yes — that is part of the retainer's purpose. We sit between the two, ensuring Quadro RW / FBAR / 1040 / Form 5471 line up across jurisdictions.
