What are your tax preparation fees?

Individual tax returns start at $500, and business returns start at $650. Final pricing depends on complexity, number of schedules, and specific requirements identified during the initial review process.

Do you offer bookkeeping services?

Yes, we offer professional bookkeeping and record cleanup services. These are priced separately from tax preparation based on transaction volume, complexity, and the historical period requiring attention.
