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.
