Sounds kind of like an escrow service. What kind of measures does he have in place if there is a discrepancy between the client and developer? For instance what if the client feels cheated somehow and wants some money back. Admittedly if you're a good contractor and have vetted your clients this hardly ever happens but there are edge cases.

Thinking about I am pretty sure that it is an escrow. I haven't had to worry about collecting payments from a client in a while. I look at it more as a safety net for both me and the clients. Brian helps establish goals and milestones to make sure everyone is on the same page at all times. This helps to ensure no one feels cheated.
