Professional Fee Arrangements

Hourly Fees: Most engagements are arranged on a per-hour basis with an estimate of both hours and fees provided in the engagement letter.

Retainer Fee: Retainer fee arrangements are provided when you need periodic consulting on tax issues that arise on short notice. Retainer fees are usually pre-paid in 10-hour blocks of time. Charges to the retainer are made in increments of 15 minutes with a minimum 30 minute charge.

Contingency Fees: When permitted under the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct, contingency fee arrangements can be a cost effective method to secure the advisory services we offer. Contingency fees can be arranged for sales tax refund studies, sales tax audit defense engagements, and certain types of letter rulings.
