Engagement & fees

Clear scope.
No hourly surprises.

Most engagements are quoted as a fee proposal after the discovery call. Hourly is reserved for advisory and resolution work, where the scope can shift week to week.

Every engagement includes

  • Direct access to your CPA — Dillon prepares and signs every return
  • Encrypted document exchange via TaxDome
  • Written engagement letter — clear scope, clear price
  • Year-end review call before any return is signed
  • One 30-minute mid-year planning check-in
  • IRS notice support during the engagement period

How we quote

  • Standard returns — fee proposal scoped to forms, schedules, and complexity. Quoted before work begins.
  • International & streamlined — fee proposal after a written eligibility review. Most reviews complete in 48 hours.
  • Advisory & planning — hourly or fixed-scope, depending on the engagement.
  • IRS notice response — quoted after reviewing the notice or letter.
All quotes are written. No engagement begins until you've signed an engagement letter.
