Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Glamourous new topic! Accounting costs

[S. Fradenburgh & J. Taylor (safjst]

I just got a quote from a CPA in Atlanta of $90/hr to do a compilation
(very scaled-down version of an audit) and $160/hr to do our tax return.
He estimated a probably minimum of $500 for either one, starting with our
QuickBooks accounts as entered.  I haven't priced any day-to-day accounting
services, like paying bills or taking care of members dues.
