Which engagement are you pricing?
Little Fish Accounting is included in this comparison for accounting and tax services for service-based businesses.
A relevant buyer profile: Service providers who want organized books and tax support.
Your consulting or professional-services business is profitable but its financial reporting does not yet support timely planning.
Ask how monthly accounting and planning meetings connect, and which personal issues sit outside the package.
Monthly accounting and year-end work
Provide monthly transactions, bank and credit card accounts, accounting software, expense volume, and the last reconciled month. Separate monthly accounting from cleanup, payroll, tax preparation, and strategic planning. Annualizing the subscription alone can understate first-year cost.
| Item | What to verify |
|---|---|
| First-year cost | Add setup, cleanup, analysis, mandatory companion services, implementation, and filing charges for the same period. |
| Ongoing cost | Confirm renewal, minimum commitment, cancellation notice, and any price changes tied to business growth. |
| Scope boundaries | What reporting will be available before the next planning decision? |
| Responsibility | What cleanup must be completed before the recurring package starts? |

Your consulting or professional-services business is profitable but its financial reporting does not yet support timely planning. What reporting will be available before the next planning decision?

Compare Little Fish Accounting with AE Tax Advisors
Compare only the work both proposals actually contain. AE’s current published standard advisory fee is $7,800, paid in two $3,900 installments 30 days apart, with no required recurring annual planning fee. Returns, amendments, cost segregation, and additional services are separately scoped. Confirm the current agreement before committing.
A lower filing or software price can be appropriate when that is all you need. A broader engagement can be appropriate when several professionals or workstreams must be coordinated. Neither price alone establishes quality, eligibility for a deduction, or guaranteed savings.
Review AE’s current fees and bring both proposals to a consultation to discuss scope and fit.
