Pricing is tiered and fixed based on complexity: $100 (Tier 1), $250 (Tier 2), $450 (Tier 3), and $1,200+ (Tier 4). Automated surcharges apply only when specific triggers exist (e.g., 1099-C, extra states, or complex Schedule C).
It’s the secure retention of source documents, signatures, confirmations, and workpapers in a searchable vault so your positions can be substantiated during IRS or state inquiries.
A portal-based workflow status system (intake → review → signatures → e-file → accepted) that timestamps progress and reduces uncertainty versus email-only updates.
For BOI compliance, we emphasize confirmation retention and evidence archiving: save the FinCEN filing confirmation, store supporting IDs in your vault, and update the report when ownership information changes.
