Questions About Pricing & Consultations
Helpful information about service fees, monthly bookkeeping, and scheduling your first appointment.
Is the first 30-minute consultation really free?
Yes. The initial 30-minute conversation is complimentary and is intended to discuss your circumstances, determine what services may be appropriate, and explain possible next steps. Detailed tax preparation, research, or advisory work would be handled under a separate paid engagement.
Will I know the cost before hiring Beri CPA?
Beri CPA provides starting prices and hourly rates for its services. The actual fee depends on your specific needs. Once the scope has been reviewed, the proposed services and fee arrangements can be discussed before you authorize paid work.
What if I only need a simple, low-cost tax return?
Individual tax preparation starts at $700. Beri CPA specializes in professional tax and accounting services for clients who value personalized guidance and attention to detail. If your primary goal is finding the least expensive filing option, a basic tax preparation service may be more appropriate.
Is bookkeeping $90–$100 per month?
No. The bookkeeping rate is $90–$100 per hour, with services billed monthly. Your monthly total depends on the amount of bookkeeping work required and the agreed-upon scope of service.
Can I receive a quote for a complicated tax situation?
Yes. Situations involving multiple states, business entities, international matters, or unresolved tax issues may require additional review before a reliable fee estimate can be provided.
Do I need to visit the Houston office?
Not necessarily. Beri CPA works with clients remotely as well as through its Houston office. The scheduling process will provide the available appointment options for your consultation.
