Kind Path Guide Billing Policy

I believe in straightforward, transparent billing. This page explains what I charge, how time is tracked, and what to expect when an invoice arrives.

My Advocate Program

$65 to $399 per month

Four membership levels: Foundation ($65), Standing Partner ($150), Circle Complete ($199), and Daily Standing ($399). See what each level includes.

Member benefit: Active members of My Advocate Program receive 25% off senior personal assistant services for the first 4 hours each calendar month ($75 per hour instead of $100). After that, the standard rate applies. Discounted hours do not carry over.

All rates are confirmed in writing before any engagement begins. If your needs change mid-project, I will discuss any rate adjustments with you before they take effect.

How Time Is Tracked

  • Hourly work is logged in 15-minute increments. Time is recorded from the start of active work through completion.
  • The smallest billable unit is 15 minutes. That is $37.50 at the advocate rate and $25 at the assistant rate.
  • Time is rounded to the nearest 15-minute increment, never up to the hour.
  • Every invoice describes the work. Each line item says what was done, so you are never guessing what a charge is for.

Invoicing and Payment

  • Invoices are issued by email at the end of each calendar month.
  • Payment is expected within 5 business days of the invoice date. Accepted payment methods are noted on each invoice.
  • Membership levels are billed monthly through the website as a subscription.
  • Member discount hours appear on your invoice with a running count, so you always know how many discounted hours you have used this month.

Retainers and Project Agreements

  • Monthly retainers are negotiated per client after a Wishes Workshop, and set out a monthly amount for defined availability and services.
  • Project agreements include a fixed fee, a clear scope, and deliverables. Work outside the agreed scope is discussed with you before any additional charges apply.

Questions About an Invoice

If anything on an invoice is unclear, contact me within 5 business days of receiving it. I am always willing to review a line item and explain it. My commitment is a billing experience that feels fair, clear, and consistent.

The plain-language promise

No surprise charges. No vague line items. Nothing billed that was not agreed to in writing first. If a bill ever does not look right to you, we talk about it, person to person.
