About BGW CPA: Business Accounting Firm and Business Growth Consultancy

How much should you budget for an accounting firm?

We totally get the pricing anxiety clients feel when they call their accounting firm.

“Oh boy, now the meter’s running—can’t wait to get that bill!”

Or our favorite: “You asked me to lunch, then you sent me a bill for it?!”

We do our best to fix-price our services, so you don’t have to worry about surprise invoices. Below are some general pricing guidelines based on our most common services.

Most clients start with the Basic Service package and add one or two extras based on their needs.

Here are a few additional services you may need from time to time:

Selling your company

Plan for a starting cost of around $5,000, though fees typically range between 0.5% and 1% of the total transaction value. (For example, on a $2 million sale, a $10,000 fee is typical for transaction support and strategic tax planning.)

Exit strategy and succession planning

The initial roadmap and setup usually run around $25,000. Ongoing support averages $12,000 annually during the first few years of implementation, up until the exit.

Unexpected surprises on my bill or from the IRS

Surprises are great—just not when they involve your money.

At BGW, you’ll always know the price up front. Our fees are clearly laid out before we start, and we won’t charge a penny more unless you choose an additional service and approve the price ahead of time. No exceptions.

Plus, because we check in with you throughout the year, you’ll never be blindsided by a surprise tax bill again.

Afraid to call for fear I’ll get billed like an attorney

No offense to our friends in law, but billing by the minute isn’t our thing.

Have a question? Call us. Email us. Ask away—as often as you need to. We love hearing from you, and we’ll never nickel-and-dime you for staying in touch.

Fell in love with the A team but a year later all I got was the C team

We’re not fans of the old bait and switch either.

When you come on board, we handpick the right team members to serve you—and help you grow. You’ll have their direct contact info, meet with them regularly, and actually know who’s working on your business. And our executive team? They stay just as engaged as our staff accountants. No disappearing acts here.

Would love proactivity but would settle for responsiveness

Good news: with us, you get both—quick responses and proactive outreach.

When we say call or email us, we mean it—and we’ll get back to you within one business day. But don’t be surprised if you hear from us first. Tax planning isn’t a once-a-year thing; it’s a year-round process. Our Proven Process is built on regular check-ins, ongoing strategy, and constant communication.

We don’t go quiet.
