Your accountant should help you save money, not cost you an arm and a leg. Unfortunately, too many firm's pricing policies seem to be designed to drain your finances. We price our services sensibly so that you pay for only what you need, and our rates are a fraction of what you can expect to pay at the larger firms. When your work is predictable and recurring, we usually set a fixed fee, so that you know in advance how much the work will cost. When that is not possible, we will discuss the project with you in advance, so that you understand the nature of our engagement and what the charges will be. The most important thing is that we make our arrangement transparent to you, so that there are no "hidden" charges, when it’s too late to do anything about.
