It's not all about price

We realize it is very important for you to keep your costs under control.  However, when it comes to tax and accounting services, quality and results matter.
Just as you choose a doctor based on what's best for your health, you should choose a CPA that is best for the financial health of your business.

Often times, instead of guiding you, a CPA will follow you.  This helps the CPA firm keep its charges to a minimum. 

At Oddo Brothers, CPAs, many of our services are geared towards guiding you . . . preventive financial medicine, so to speak.  By guiding, we can minimize taxes more than enough to offset any additional charges. 

Remember, there are a lot of "mines" out there.  We can't promise you won't step on one of them, but Oddo Brothers CPAs can help you avoid most of them.

What will we charge you?  It depends on . . . . .

How well you maintain your records

How timely you respond to our communications

What services you need 
     Different services have different hourly rates.
     Our rates are $65-$125 per hour.
We've included a schedule below to help you estimate what we would charge.  Each service has an average amount next to it.  Choose the services you need, add the average prices and you'll have an estimate of how much we would charge.  

Typical average charges

NOTE: the following chart is for a typical client providing us with good records. 
As mentioned above, you may not need all of the services we offer, so your charges would be less.
But, if your records are in good shape, and if we provided the following services to you over a 12-month period, then your charges would be approximately $2,620.

     $600     Business tax return
       295 a  Personal tax return
       125     1099 forms
       600     Four quarterly payroll tax returns AND w2s
       125     Adjust QuickBooks to agree to tax return
       155     Various yearly accounting assistance
       200     Tax estimate/planning
       100     Property tax return
       420 b  Monthly sales tax return

   $2,620   Total charges for 12 month service

(And yes, we can train you to do some of the above work.  The more you can do, the more you can save.)

a (see above) = If you have a business schedule such as C or E and a QuickBooks file is involved, that will require an additional $400-$600 per business depending on the circumstances involved with the business.

b (see above) = Sales Tax Returns - this varies depending on the filing frequency (monthly, quarterly, annually).  
An average is $35 per month.

Making the change

Changing your CPA is like changing your doctor.  Time builds relationships.  Like your doctor helps keep you physically healthy, your CPA helps keep you financially healthy.  If you seem healthy, why change doctors?  If you’re satisfied with your tax returns each year, why change CPAs?  If it doesn't look broken, why fix it?

But even in the best of relationships, you’d probably admit there are times you’d really like to know why . . .  Why do you have that pain in your side?  Why do you always feel unprepared for your tax year-end?

It’s nothing much, but hey, it would be nice to know why you have it, instead of hearing, It’s nothing to worry about.  It may not be, but then again . . .

The truth is, at times your “Financial Doctor,” aka your CPA, doesn’t have all the answers, just like your Medical Doctor.  At times, it’s a good idea to get a 2nd opinion, whether it’s for the pain in your side, or the pain in your wallet.  

We’d like to give you that second opinion. 
We would be happy to provide you with a NO CHARGE review of your current accounting and tax situation.  To do that, we would need a copy of your current tax returns and QuickBooks data file.  Remember to remove, change, or provide the password.

Yes, it’s not all about price, but we’ve found that quite often the suggestions and help we give our clients, more than pay for the extra service we provide, and make your financial health leaner, meaner, and full of zip!


Let's talk.  Maybe we can do the same for you!
