Answers with Adam: How does the pricing structure work at Adam Kae & Associates? CFO Adam: So the nice part about my pricing is I have one set of service with three ways to pay for it.

Despite zero rates for a decade plus inflation was quite benign. it was only the combination of the global pandemic and lockdown, a massive fiscal stimulus, and a surge in demand for goods that have driven the 2020 to 2022 inflation.
