Cost reports: half at signing, half when the report is ready for your signature. Cap and review-only: paid at signing. Pay by ACH, card or check. The first two hours of follow-up questions from your contractor are included; other work, like audits or amended reports after your books change, is $150 an hour and only with your OK.
