A la carte

Add-ons and one-time projects

Some work is bounded - and priced that way.

Clean-up & catch-up

Inherited messy books? We price clean-ups as a fixed-fee project, typically completed in 30 to 60 days.

Sales tax registration & filings

Per-state registration plus monthly filings, priced by state count and filing frequency.

Federal & state business tax

Annual tax returns prepared by licensed CPAs/EAs. Priced by entity type and complexity.

Audit support

PBC prep, workpaper standardization, and auditor walkthroughs. Scoped against your auditor's request list.

M&A diligence

Quality of earnings, working capital normalization, and integration support. Fixed-fee per deal.

Systems implementation

QuickBooks / Xero / NetSuite setup or migration, with chart of accounts and reporting design.

Pricing FAQ

How do you finalize a quote?

We use a 30-minute discovery call plus access to your last three months of financials and bank activity. From there we deliver a written scope and a fixed monthly fee within two business days.

Are there setup fees?

Sometimes. Clean-up engagements are priced separately. Standard onboarding (chart of accounts review, system connections, reporting build) is included in your first month.

What's not included?

Income tax returns, audit fees, M&A diligence, and one-time system implementations are priced separately. We are transparent about this up front, in writing.

Can we scale up or down?

Yes. Tier changes take effect the next billing cycle. We re-scope every six months as a default.

What if my transaction volume jumps?

We have transparent volume thresholds in every engagement. If you cross a threshold, we'll flag it before billing changes - never as a surprise.
