Nesha Pai / Pai CPA
Nesha Pai is identified as Pai CPA’s founder and managing member. Her public platform also includes speaking and a podcast, whose reviewed page marks the show on hiatus.
Pai CPA describes monthly accounting, financial reporting, accounting setup and coaching. Its service page expressly separates income tax filings through a Tax CPA from its own one-state sales tax preparation.
The reviewed service page says Pai CPA does not do income tax filings and coordinates with a Tax CPA. Do not infer that accounting support includes an income tax return or that podcast access is client service.
Fee evidence for Nesha Pai
The reviewed service page lists accounting starting at $700/month, setup at $1,000 and coaching at $350/hour; cleanup is extra. These are distinct accounting offers, not a universal planning-and-filing package. Confirm current terms.
Questions for the actual engagement
- Who prepares income tax returns under a separate contract?
- What monthly accounting and sales tax tasks are included?
- What cleanup costs and meeting access apply?
- Who implements and checks any planning recommendations?
Give each bidder the same entity list, prior returns, current books, property details and deadline. Request a complete fee and written assignment for advice, implementation and filing. Share sensitive records only through the chosen provider’s secure intake process.

The service page describes implementation and preparation; do not infer they are unavailable. Confirm the actual contract and exclusions, and do not treat marketing savings or audit-proof language as a guaranteed result.

Compare total scope before selecting
AE Tax Advisors provides tax planning for business owners and real estate investors. Standard advisory is $7,800 and complex advisory is $9,800. Returns, amendments, property studies and other implementation work are separately scoped and priced. Confirm the support period and responsibilities in the written engagement; the standard advisory engagement has no required annual planning renewal.
Request the same entities, records, deadline and implementation assignments. Education, legal work and tax filing can require different contracts. A preliminary tax-saving estimate and a course fee do not establish comparable project costs.
