Fixed fees. Quoted up front. No surprises.

Reviewed by EverStone CPA · July 2026

You should never be afraid to call your accountant. Every EverStone engagement is a fixed fee agreed before the work starts — ask questions all year without watching a meter. Fees are the same whether you’re in Abbotsford, the Fraser Valley or anywhere else in Canada.

Personal tax from $100 Bookkeeping from $300/mo Corporate tax quoted up front

Quick answer: Accounting fees for an incorporated business depend on transaction volume, the condition of the bookkeeping, the number of filings and whether there is payroll — not on an hourly clock. EverStone quotes a single fixed fee in writing after a free consultation, before any work starts, so nothing changes mid-engagement.

What an accounting fee for an incorporated business actually depends on is transaction volume, the condition of the bookkeeping and how many filings and payroll obligations the business carries — not an hourly clock — which is why the whole engagement can be quoted as a single fixed fee in writing after a free consultation, before any work starts
Volume, condition and filings set the quote — not an hourly clock.

Common questions

Pricing FAQ

Are you taking on new clients right now?+
Yes. We’re accepting new small-business and personal clients. A free consultation is the fastest way to get a clear fixed quote.
I’m behind on past years — can you still help?+
Absolutely. Catch-up bookkeeping and late or multiple-year returns are a big part of what we do. We’ll get you caught up and handle the CRA on your behalf, then keep you on track going forward.
Why fixed fees instead of hourly billing?+
Hourly billing punishes you for asking questions. Fixed fees mean you know the full cost before we start, you can call or email any time without watching a meter, and surprises are off the table. Every engagement is quoted up front after a free consultation.
What affects my exact quote?+
Complexity and volume. For corporate work: whether your books are reconciled, transaction volume, payroll and structure (single company vs. holdco). For personal returns: self-employment, rentals and investments. You get the exact number in writing before we begin.
Are there any hidden costs or surprise invoices?+
No. If the scope changes mid-year we discuss and agree on any adjustment before doing the work. The quote you accept is the price you pay.
Does the free consultation obligate me to anything?+
Not at all. We talk through your situation, you get a clear fixed quote, and you decide. Most owners leave the call knowing exactly what their year will cost.
Why are your fees lower than the big firms?+
We’re a lean, owner-run practice — no downtown tower, no floors of junior staff billing you by the six-minute unit. You work directly with a CPA who knows your file, and that efficiency is passed on as a fair fixed fee. You get senior-level work without the big-firm overhead.
Can I bundle bookkeeping and tax to save?+
Yes, and most owners do. When we keep your books all year, year-end is faster and cleaner, so the combined package is better value than buying each piece separately — and nothing falls through the cracks between your bookkeeper and your tax preparer, because they’re the same person.
Fixed feesClear, fixed pricing — you approve the fee before any work begins. No surprise bills.
One dayWe reply to every enquiry within one business day — usually the same day.
CPA-ledEvery file is handled personally by a CPA — never passed to junior staff.
No obligationYour first consultation is free, with zero pressure and no obligation.

The moves most incorporated owners miss before December 31 — the small ones that quietly cost thousands. No cost, no obligation; we’ll email it straight over.

We’ll email you the checklist. We may occasionally send a short EverStone tax tip — unsubscribe anytime.

Two questions owners ask before they engage us are answered in full in our guides, at no charge: what home office expenses a corporation can actually deduct, and how the bonus-versus-dividend choice changes the tax bill at year end.

If you would rather see how we think before you talk about fees at all, ask for a free second opinion on last year’s return — you get a written one-page summary and there is nothing to sign.
