any CPA here...quick business question

we have a small family business. generates decent cash. our CPA is charging us 400 bucks a month and on top of that charges us 1800 to do our coorporate returns...

we do feel comfortable with him but we dont feel comfortable with paying 7gs a year for an accountant?!?

what are the going rates??

for a small town that could be on the high side but for Philly that's pretty good.

Also depends on what he does for the $400. You getting CPA prepared financials?

My wife's firm is one of the largest in FL and they would charge you $350 - $500 per month to keep your books, depending on the size of your company. She says $1800 for corporate return is fair.

I am in a similar position, that is a bit less than I pay,
I feel gouged too. In a way you also have to think if it as audit insurance too
