Pricing

  • As we announced earlier in the year, our prices will be increasing so that we may continue to maintain the quality of our services. We've taken this into consideration with the various service options available.


​​​What does this mean for you, our clients?


By giving you access to more options, our goal is to provide you with professional services in the way you need it most, while realizing our vision of a sustainable business model that positions us to expand on our work with you to provide more proactive and strategic tax planning, which can help minimize the amount of tax you owe and results in you keeping more of your money.

We realize these changes represent a shift in the landscape of how we do business and provide service our clients. We value your understanding and trust, and we hope to continue working together in such a way that enables us to provide you with the full scope and power of our tax and advisory experience.
