Accountant Fees?

[Nir]

Hi All,

I heard for smaller new Corporations with very few properties accountants charge around $1000-1500 to file annual tax.

Wanted to ask if REIN members who are organized and provide paperwork in an effective system, in order to minimize hassle and cost at the accounting office, pay significantly less like half that amount ($500-$750)? is it reasonable to expect to pay much less for giving the accountant a 1 hour job instead of 5?

THANKS,
Neil

If you are filing your taxes as a corporation then they will charge more as there is more work. As an individual with all of your paperwork done up nicely it should be around the $500-$750 range or less in my experience.

Depends if you`re wanting to pay for `time` or `knowledge`.
