Tax Planning & Preparation Pricing

Clients often ask us how much we charge to do their taxes.

Here’s how it works:

  • For Monthly Accounting Clients (Our Preferred Approach) Ongoing tax planning and business tax preparation are included as part of your monthly accounting service. This ensures year-round strategic tax guidance, proactive planning, and a seamless tax filing process—without surprises.
  • For Business Owners Who Need Tax-Only Services If you're not ready for monthly accounting but still need expert tax services, we offer business tax planning and preparation starting at $1,325.
  • For Individuals Seeking Premium Tax Services We only take on a limited number of individual tax clients each year—primarily business owners and individuals who value a proactive, high-touch approach and are comfortable with our fees. Our clients aren’t just looking to file a return; they want expert guidance, tax optimization, and strategic financial planning. Fees start at $650.

Monthly Payroll Pricing

To help you understand what to expect, here are real examples of current payroll service pricing for businesses of different sizes and industries:

Because each person’s wealth management needs are different, we’ll create a custom scope of services with a clear, easy-to-understand fee schedule. Please inquire to set up your free wealth management consultation.

“The money we've saved in taxes has offset the fees we pay.”

We own a small real estate business in the Upstate. We were connected with Stokes and Company three years ago. They have been there with us every step of the way as we've grown. Mike T. and his team are always super-responsive and have helped us with tax compliance and strategy. I'd recommend this group to any business looking to go beyond filing taxes to savings and long term planning.
