The scope is designed around what your organization actually needs.

The agreed scope defines the work, responsibilities, expectations, and deliverables so both teams understand what Pulse owns and what remains with your organization.
Yes. Flexibility is built into how we work.
Support can expand, shift, or evolve as your organization’s priorities and capacity needs change, subject to the scope and terms of the engagement.

For payroll engagements, clients retain responsibility for required payroll approvals, funding, tax filing and remittance responsibilities, internal policies, and related organizational decisions.
No. Pulse provides strategic, operational, administrative, and execution support but does not provide legal, tax, audit, or other regulated professional advice.
