Their services page says the company provides financial and accounting solutions ranging from the staff block to CFO-level services. Services page, the team

If a later edit of their site drops one of these lines, this page should drop it too. A newer page is the source, and this one should follow it.
Check a line this way. Open the linked page and find their sentence. If the sentence is gone, do not use this page as the source for it. The link under the line is the page we opened. A phone call, a brochure, and a webinar you remember are not among the fifteen.
Some lines describe the company. The four ways to engage, the counters, the customized contract, and the footer that names hourly work with no long-term requirement are about how they say the company is offered. Other lines describe the work. The CFO block, the controller block, and the staff block are the jobs they name.
The controller block is the one that names the month-end close. Cashflow forecasting, dashboards, budgeting, financial reporting, and accounting systems sit on that same block. The staff block under it names the reconciliation and the ledger. A comparison that skips those names is leaving out their page.
The about-page footer stops short of a number. It prints Hourly Rates, No Hidden Fees, and No Long-Term Requirements, and it does not print a dollar amount. The fractional CFO page is the page that prints a range. Most ongoing engagements, in that page's words, run 3,000 to 10,000 dollars a month, usually one to two days a week per client. The first process step is a complimentary consultation, and that step does not print a separate dollar amount for the conversation. Those are published terms. They are not a guess about a later proposal.
This page leaves a blank where their site left a blank. It does not invent a monthly amount of its own, and it repeats their range only where their page printed it. It does not move the return into their work when their pages do not name it, and it does not say they refused the return. It does not rank the company. Adding a motive would end the comparison.
A proposal that arrives after you read these lines is a new document. Set it beside the fifteen. If it names a job none of the fifteen name, ask which page on their site now carries that job before you treat the proposal as part of this comparison.
