You make the decisions

The strategy comes out of the conversation with you, because you know what the numbers can’t show: what you’re planning, what you won’t do, and where you want the business to go. We’re the finance seat, not a coach handing out assignments and not a vendor working in the dark.

04 · Questions

Pricing questions.

Every return and engagement depends on scope: number of entities, states, transactions and how organized your records are. Listed prices are starting points; you get a firm quote before any work begins.

Work begins once your engagement letter is signed and payment is confirmed, all through your secure portal. No ambiguity, no surprises.

No. Government and state filing fees are passed through separately, so you see exactly what goes to the state and what goes to us.

A fixed monthly fee based on your size, complexity and the parts you need, quoted after your free Profit Diagnostic. Every package is custom-built and comes with a dedicated advisor and a client portal open any time. It includes bookkeeping, payroll and tax filings from the same firm, growth strategy and AI and automation scoped to your business, plus a prior-year return review, entity review and first-year tax projection at no extra fee.

Catch-up work is quoted separately after we assess where things stand. You get an honest timeline and price before we start.

For simple returns, start filing through the portal and we’ll confirm the price once we see your documents. For anything else, a 15-minute call is the fastest way to an accurate number.
