I just got my taxes completed by accountant. And they sent my wife and I a bill for $3900, with a $900 discount (slap in the face in my opinion).
Backstory: My wife and I got married last year and after speaking to my accountant and her families accountant they both agreed it would be in our benefit to file jointly. Well my taxes were already started by my accountant for both of my businesses. So after some back and forth my wife's families accountant said just get all my paperwork from my accountant after he is complete and they with compile it.
My wife's family is quite wealthy so I agreed to use them to file to rock the boat.
Well I get both my LLC taxes completed by my accountant. So I send over everything to my wife's families accountant. A month later I get a $3900 bill for accounting. I have been in business for years and never been charged that much to prepare and file taxes.
I talked to my wife and said I want a detailed breakdown of what they exactly did. The hourly rate. And a description of work. Because a bill with one line item and a $3900 total is not going to cut it.
Edit: Does this seem high? Or am I being dramatic?
