As a small worker-owned cooperative business, we generate income solely from what individuals and organizations pay for our bookkeeping, consulting, and training services.
Our standard rates enable us to offer high quality services, take care of ourselves and our communities, and offer free and low-cost services to people most directly targeted by oppression and colonization.
Solidarity rates are reserved for groups focused on collective liberation and solidarity economy work that are owned and governed by people of color, immigrants, disabled people, LGBTQIA2+, working class, and poor people without access to institutional funding.
Organizations or individuals that meet at least one of the listed criteria in each of the three sections below can request a solidarity rate in their intake form and the coop will assess our current capacity to meet the request.

Solidarity Assessments for Black and/or Indigenous-led Groups
A pay-what-you-can, sliding scale offering for Black and/or Indigenous-led groups ($0-380).
How it works: You send us the financial information you’re working with (for example: bank statements, budgets, spreadsheets, accounting software).

We’ll outline some recommendations that you can use as a guide for next moves in your finances. Fill out our contact form with a note that you’re requesting a solidarity assessment.
