FEES
Our fees are consistently below the national mean. We are able to provide extraordinarily good service for affordable fees by keeping our overhead under control. We use state-of-the art computer equipment and software, but we don't waste money on fancy office space and expensive furniture. We keep our debt at a minimum, so we are not weighed down by interest costs and loan payments, and we structure our working conditions and hours to allow each employee to peform at peak efficiency.
OUR FEES (January, 2009) Most of our fees have remained the same for more than three years. We have had to go from flat fees to hourly rates for representation before the IRS, because the IRS has become more difficult to deal with during the past two years.
