Pricing questions
Have a situation the estimator doesn't cover? Send us the details and we will quote it.
How accurate is the price estimate?
The estimator gives a realistic range based on the most common factors for each service. Your final price is set after we review your actual records and is confirmed in a written quote before any work begins.
Why do you show a range instead of one price?
Two businesses with the same number of transactions or owners can still differ in complexity. The range covers that difference. Most clients with straightforward records land near the lower end.
Do you offer discounts?
Yes. Early-bird bookings for tax season, bookkeeping and tax bundles, multi-year or multi-entity filings and annual bookkeeping plans can each save up to 10 to 15%. We apply every discount you qualify for in your written quote, up to 15% off in total.
Do you charge by the hour?
No. We quote a fee for the agreed scope in writing before work starts, so there are no hourly surprises. If your scope changes, we tell you before any extra work.
Are state fees included in LLC formation pricing?
No. State filing fees are charged by the state and passed through at cost. We confirm the current fee for your chosen state in your quote.
Why is there no fixed price for CPA firm support?
Firms send anything from a few returns to large seasonal batches, with different return mixes and review workflows. We price around your volume and workflow, per return, per batch or as a seasonal arrangement, and send a written proposal.
