Just wondering what you all charge for this. Do you charge a set rate or hourly and if hourly what hourly rate?

Thanks!

If the BS and P and L are accurate and all we do is basic depreciation, break out officers salary, etc... our fee is set at $800. Some are as low as $500.

If a client brings in work with it, i.e. several assets, J/E's , review of WIP needed, basis review, we charge $1,000 base and hourly on top of that.

Gosh I'm too cheap! Trying to raise my rates but it takes a long time to bring them up. New ones are at a higher rate.

Minimum Fee $675 without additional services. These are probably clients who could use additional services. Average bill for my clients with this type of return is $3000. Do not miss earning opportunities. Clients appreciate every thing you can do for them.

$500 Min. Return only. Raise 10% every other year.

$1200 in NC. Includes 12 months bookkeeping for up to $150,000 in sales for a service type company with good record keeping ability. Up to 4 employees. Also includes personal return for one of the S Corp officers.

Rates go up based on # employees, sales, and boxes of crap to sort thru.
