Questions people ask
Pricing, answered.
How quotes, changes and payments work.
Why fixed prices?
Because hourly billing punishes you for asking questions. A fixed price lets you call as often as you need, and it lets you plan.
When would a quote change?
Only when the facts change: a rental property we did not know about, a second state, a business that started mid-year. We tell you before doing the extra work.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Monthly services are billed monthly. Tax preparation can be split into two payments, half at the start and half before filing.
Is there a discount for bundling services?
Clients on monthly bookkeeping get their business tax return at 20% off, because clean books make the return faster to prepare.
