y COSTS We do charge per diem costs for hotels, meals and travel. We prefer to follow your policies on expenses. Any copying or clerical services are charged at cost, and any necessary professional services outside of SilverKnight Advisory Group are negotiated up front with mutual agreement. As we burden the risk as to whether or not we can fix or mitigate your problem, we will not waste our mutual time and run up costs. In such situations, we will give  you a brief management report free of charge, with the hope that you will call on us if the structure of the situation changes. We will give you referrals to other firms that may better suit your situation if we cannot be cost effective for you.
