In one line

Per month for each account inside a pro forma billing group, plus a fee per pro forma billing record.

What gets missed

The monthly fee applies to every account in a billing group, so a large organisation pays it hundreds of times just to reprice its own bill. Moving a billing group to another management account is a separate charge.
