Business Returns · Bookkeeping · Advisory

Returns, books, and the strategy in between.

S-corp and partnership returns, monthly bookkeeping that actually stays current, payroll, and the advanced planning that keeps more of what you make — priced below regional CPA rates, without cutting corners on the parts that matter.

Core Returns

Starting prices — confirmed with a quick consult.

Business returns vary too much for a flat public number to be honest. These are real starting prices; a short conversation about your entity, revenue, and complexity confirms the final quote before anything is billed.

Schedule C (bundled with your personal return) $450 starting

Sole prop return bundled with your 1040 — a discount over filing the two separately, and it means I see your whole tax picture, not just half of it.

S-Corp Return (Form 1120-S) $750 starting

Federal and state S-corp return, K-1s prepared for every shareholder.

Partnership Return (Form 1065) $750 starting

Federal and state partnership return, K-1s prepared for every partner.

Not sure which entity you are? That's the entity selection consult below.

If you're still deciding between an LLC, S-corp, or partnership, start there before you pick a return type.

Bookkeeping Rates

Monthly bookkeeping, priced by volume.

This is the recurring side of the business — reconciled books, closed on the same date every month, so tax season is never a scramble.

Advanced & Niche Services

The higher-value work most preparers skip.

Flat-fee advisory engagements — priced once, done once, no hourly clock running while you wait.

On cost segregation: I coordinate the engagement with a qualified engineering firm that performs the actual study — I don't perform cost segregation studies myself. My fee covers managing the process and applying the results to your return.
If The IRS Reaches Out

IRS audit representation.

If a return I personally prepared and signed gets flagged for examination, I can represent you directly with the IRS — you don't have to sit across from an agent and explain your own return alone.

$225/hr  ·  $500 retainer to start

Scope, plainly stated: representation rights for a non-CPA, non-attorney, non-Enrolled-Agent preparer are limited under IRS Circular 230. I hold my PTIN and am enrolled in the IRS Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP), which gives me the right to represent clients before the IRS during an examination of a return I personally prepared and signed — but not returns I didn't prepare, and not appeals or collections matters beyond that scope. If your situation needs full representation rights outside that scope, I'll tell you directly and point you to someone who can help.
