Re: Engagement Letter — Finance Modernization & Managed Close

Dear Cheng,

Thank you for the opportunity to support Gamma's finance organization.

This engagement letter confirms the terms under which Crede, Inc. ("Crede") will provide accounting infrastructure modernization and managed accounting services to Gamma Tech, Inc. ("Gamma" or the "Client").

Based on our review and discussions, Gamma's revenue model and operational complexity have evolved significantly, and the accounting infrastructure now benefits from a more structured and system-supported approach to financial operations and close.

Crede's role is to support the development of a scalable finance architecture and operate a structured month-end close process that supports reliable financial reporting and board-ready financial intelligence.

Engagement Structure & Fees

The engagement will be delivered in two phases.

Phase 1 — Finance Modernization

  • Duration: Approximately 60–90 days
  • Objectives include stabilizing the close process, modernizing revenue infrastructure, and establishing the operational framework required to support a scalable accounting function.
  • Fee: $15,000 one-time fee, billed in full at engagement kickoff.

Phase 2 — Managed Accounting & Financial Reporting

Phase 2 commences upon ERP go-live, following completion of the Phase 1 modernization. Crede will operate the ongoing accounting close process and financial reporting cadence. Services will include structured month-end close, financial reporting, and ongoing accounting operations support. Crede targets a monthly close completed within five to seven (5–7) business days of period end, subject to timely receipt of Client information.

Fee: $10,000 per month, billed monthly in advance.

Detailed services included in each phase are described in Appendix A — Scope of Services.

Payment Terms

The Phase 1 modernization fee is invoiced at engagement kickoff. The Phase 2 retainer is invoiced monthly in advance. All invoices are payable within fifteen (15) days of receipt.

Term and Termination

This engagement will commence on June 15, 2026, with Phase 2 services beginning upon completion of Phase 1 and ERP go-live as described above.

The Phase 2 managed accounting services have a term of twelve (12) months from ERP go-live, with flat monthly fees and no volume-based pricing or escalators. After twelve months, services continue on a month-to-month basis at the same monthly fee unless terminated by either party upon sixty (60) days' written notice.

Beginning on the first anniversary of ERP go-live and on each anniversary thereafter, Crede may adjust the monthly fee by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U, U.S. City Average, as published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics) over the preceding twelve months, or (ii) five percent (5%). Crede will provide at least sixty (60) days' prior written notice of any such adjustment. No fee adjustment will be made during the first twelve (12) months of the engagement.

Either party may terminate Phase 1 prior to its completion upon thirty (30) days' written notice, with Crede entitled to fees earned through the effective termination date based on work completed.

Engagement Terms

The detailed scope of services and standard engagement terms are provided in the attached appendices. If the terms outlined above are acceptable, please sign below and return a copy of this letter.

We look forward to partnering with Gamma to build and operate a scalable accounting and financial reporting function as the business continues to grow.

Sincerely,

Crede, Inc.

For your team

Short context for anyone reviewing this letter who wasn't part of the earlier conversations.

Why the structure is two phases. The Phase 1 modernization (~60–90 days) gets Gamma off QuickBooks Online and onto a modern cloud ERP with ASC 606 revenue infrastructure, a rationalized chart of accounts, and a defined close framework. Phase 2 is the ongoing managed close that runs on top of that infrastructure. The two are sequenced rather than concurrent so Phase 2 starts on a foundation that can actually support a 5–7 day close.

Why the retainer starts at ERP go-live, not contract execution. Gamma is not paying Crede and Pilot in parallel. The Phase 2 retainer commences only when Crede assumes the close, so the transition period is covered by Pilot under their existing arrangement and the modernization work proceeds in parallel.

Why a flat fee instead of hourly or volume-based pricing. The $10k/month retainer holds for the full twelve months. Any annual adjustment thereafter is capped at the lesser of CPI (CPI-U) or 5%, with sixty days' prior notice — so the monthly fee tracks inflation rather than transaction volume or revenue. This removes the escalator dynamic embedded in volume-tiered providers and gives Gamma budget predictability. Out-of-scope work is priced separately at $275/hour with prior written authorization.
