This bid is just for your tax return, and it assumes that you are only going to be filing a Schedule C (Profit or Loss from Business). I f you are also itemizing and need to file a Schedule A (Itemized Deductions), the cost would be $250.00.
My name is A. Brian Cogan and I am QuickBooks Advanced Certified ProAdvisor, a Licensed Certified Bookkeeper and a Tax Preparer registered with the Internal Revenue Service (a new requirement for tax preparers). I have my own QuickBooks, bookkeeping & income tax business that works with small to medium sized businesses just like yours doing the types of things that you are asking for. I have been doing this type of work for over 20 years and I am now expanding my practice.
What makes me different from any of these other providers is that the important thing to me is the relationships that I form with my clients. I am the one who answers the phone and I am the one that does the work. I am not a big CPA firm that has an in-house bookkeeper or outsources his work to another country. I am also in the U.S. and can work with your time frames in your time zone.
I can do anything that a CPA can do for you for 1/3 to 1/2 the price and with 3 times the personal attention.
Although I can't give you a firm bid on the bookkeeping setup without some additional information, I can tell you that my average client pays $150 per month and that is for 100 - 150 transactions per month, meaning checks, debit transactions and deposits. Your fee could be higher or lower depending on your average transactions per month. I also charge a one time set-up charge of one month's fee.
I hope you will consider contacting me to discuss this mutual opportunity further.
Sincerely,
A. Brian Cogan, CPB
