Do I have to use all of your services? No. Most clients start with one. The engagement letter lists only what you ask for. Which bookkeeping software do you work in? We work in the software you already use, and we can recommend one if you are starting fresh. Can you take over mid-year? Yes. We start with a catch-up close and agree the fee for it separately in the letter. Do you file state returns? Yes, for every state where you or your business has a filing requirement. ## Bring last year's return. We'll take it from there. A free hour with a partner. You leave with a written scope and a fixed fee.
