An illustrative decision to put in both proposals

A Dallas owner wants to turn periodic tax advice into a specific plan for business and household cash flow.

Ask both firms to show a baseline forecast and the effect of the proposed action using the same income, entity and timing assumptions. Separate current tax savings, refunds and timing benefits. Include professional and implementation fees. A recommendation should remain useful when the tax effect is smaller than initially hoped.

Documents to organize: Prior returns, projected business profit, household cash needs and planned transactions.

When AE deserves consideration

Consider AE if you want a defined advisory engagement evaluating your business and owner-level tax position, with any preparation, amendments or property studies identified separately. Ask which meetings, projections, return reviews and implementation tasks are included in the proposal.

The other firm may fit better when its relevant specialty, local access or ongoing accounting arrangement matches the work you need. Confirm specialty services directly with either provider; this comparison does not imply identical capabilities.

AE publishes standard advisory pricing of $7,800, payable in two $3,900 installments 30 days apart. Returns, amendments, cost segregation and additional services are separately scoped and priced. The standard engagement has no required annual planning renewal; it does not include unlimited future planning. Confirm current terms in the signed proposal.
