How so affordable?

We employ a client-based orientation through our planning and decision making. "We're on your side." While other firms may focus on trying to get the most money out of their clients, we try to give you the best benefit at a reasonable cost.

We keep our costs low

When I see other firms in operation they often appear to have little or no business. We tend to keep a tight schedule and have been able to spread the rush times out a bit to cover most of the tax season.

Because we're more continuously preparing returns instead of waiting half the time for unscheduled clients to just show up, we can prepare more returns, on average, per preparer hour worked. We'd rather prepare twice as many returns a day and charge just half the fees.

The one thing we do not try to cut is preparer's compensation. We pay our employees more. They are professionals, good workers, and they deserve it.

No franchise fees

Other national firms can require a franchise fee of up to 30% to use the name and reputation of the firm.

We see that as 30% gone for no tangible benefit to our clients.

These firms may also require additional advertising expenses, furnishings and signage, computer equipment and software — all of which add substantially to the cost of the operation while unnecessarily limiting the options.
