Fixed fee
Written before kick-off. Inclusions, exclusions and change-order rules in plain language. No hourly creep.
How we work
Brief to lodgement, in three stages.
Six to ten weeks for a standard annual report. Ten to fourteen for reports that carry a sustainability or microsite component. Fixed fee, fixed deadline, one named project lead, the system we have built over 120+ reports since 2011.
- Fixed fee
- Fixed deadline
- One project lead
- Zero missed lodgements since 2011
Three simple stages
Scope. Design. Lodge.
- 01Week 1
Scope, quote & kick-off
A short scoping call confirms report type, page count, deadline and review cycle. We audit last year's report against this year's narrative, brand and disclosure obligations.
- 02Weeks 2–7
Design, data & structured review
Cover, narrative spreads, financials, charts and infographics designed against the audited number line. Two structured rounds of review using a shared PDF, audit and assurance running in parallel.
- 03Weeks 8–10
Accessibility, lodgement & handover
WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility tagging, NVDA and VoiceOver screen reader testing, signed conformance statement. Print procurement and microsite shipped where in scope.
What stays fixed
Three things you lock at kick-off.
Fixed deadline
Calendar locked working backwards from your tabling or lodgement date. Review windows in your team's diary from week one.
One project lead
Founder-led. One name, one inbox, one weekly status note. Extended team plugs in under that single point of contact.
Tools we run on
No black box.
- Shared review PDF. Comments by section, no email chains.
- Versioned drive. One source of truth, audit-friendly history.
- Weekly status note. What shipped, what's next, what's blocked. Every Friday.
- Single inbox. Your project lead's direct line. No account-management layer.

What happens if our content lands late?
We move what we can in parallel and we'll tell you in writing within one business day what the slip costs in lodgement risk. Fixed-fee scope holds; the calendar is the variable we manage together.
How do change orders work?
Anything outside the agreed scope is quoted in writing before we start. You approve, we ship. No surprise invoices.
How does your process fit with our auditor?
We design every spread against the audited number line. Versioned PDFs at every milestone, so the auditor and the board read the same file. Audit clearance runs in parallel with internal review, not after.
Do you stay on for the AGM or post-tabling?
Yes if asked. We can handle the AGM presentation deck, the notice of meeting and any post-lodgement microsite update under the same project lead.
