Executive and Administrative Services
Cardinal Point offers monthly Retainer Plans for its Virtual Executive and Administrative Services. Clients who contract with Cardinal Point on a retainer basis receive priority status. This provides clients with a dedicated bank of time for the month. Retainer clients always take precedent over hourly projects.
Cardinal Point offers four monthly Retainer Plans that reflect incremental discounts. Dependent on the number of hours retained, a client can realize from ¼ hour up to 6 hours of free services per month. Contracting on a retainer basis, allows for a partnership to be built between Cardinal Point and your business. This translates into a profit to our clients as less time will be spent on directives and more time on the actual work.
