Jerry M. says, "We hired Daniel more than 2 years ago to straighten our QuickBooks program. Daniel completely remapped QuickBooks and got our financials straightened out. We have retained Daniel to assist us in all aspects of our accounting, including preparing our taxes. Since he is a QuickBooks expert, we have been able to drop the QuickBooks support plan, saving us a substantial amount of money. Whenever we have a question or a problem, Daniel always promptly gets us back on track. Whenever we are considering a new program that interfaces with QuickBooks, we always ask Daniel to review the program before we implement it. We are very happy with Daniel, and hope to have a long professional relationship with him." Read more

Melanie B. says, "I cannot begin to explain the positive experience I had with Fair Winds Tax And Financial! I worked with Joshua and he was great! For the last couple of years I worked with an experienced accountant who was close to home. He knew all about my small business which made it easy each year to hand him the needed docs and walk away awaiting completion and the bill. However, this year, having different financial needs, I had to search for services that were less expensive. And, here is how I found Joshua. Joshua was thorough, professional, and timely; yet thoughtful, caring, and sincere. More than I could have ever expected from a tax preparer! Thus, he is much more than that to my family and me than that. Whether you are in the market for a new financial services company, I highly suggest just talking to Fair Winds to see what they can do for you! I can guarantee you won't be sorry you did! Thank you for everything, Joshua!" Read more

Your CPA Firm questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thervo.

How much do CPA firms charge?

Most CPA firms charge $100 to $400 per hour, depending on the size of the firm, the amount and type of work you need, and the CPA's education and experience. Some CPA firms charge flat prices based on the service instead.

A CPA firm may charge an hourly rate for tax preparation or fixed fees ranging from $40 to $1,000+ per form, depending on the form and its complexity. Some documents take less than an hour to prepare, while others can take several hours to complete.

What is a CPA firm, and what does it do?

A CPA firm is an accounting firm with one or more Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) to provide accounting and financial consulting services to individuals and businesses, including tax preparation and filing. A CPA firm also handles auditing and represents a client for any matters related to the financial documents the firm prepared and filed on their behalf.

CPA firms work with businesses directly to help identify financial problems and implement solutions. They may advise on and assist with anything related to the financial side of a business, including budgeting, payroll, and financial statements and analysis.

How do I choose the best CPA firm near me?

When searching for a CPA firm near you, be sure to:

  • Look for local firms that are licensed, bonded, insured, and have been in business 5+ years.
  • Ask for referrals from other colleagues.
  • Check their credentials and licensing status.
  • Check out their profile and reviews on Thervo and Google.
  • Ask about their specializations and industry experience.
  • Have a good understanding of your current finances and needs so you can confirm they align with the CPA firm's expertise.
  • Confirm they will sign your tax return and will represent you in front of the IRS for any related matters.
  • Confirm they file with the IRS electronically. Filing electronically is safer and faster than using traditional mail.
  • Ask about their fee structure.

What questions should I ask when searching for a CPA firm?

Consider asking the following questions to help you choose the best CPA firm for your needs:

  • What licenses do you have?
  • What is your PTIN?
  • How big is your firm?
  • How long have you been in business?
  • Can you provide references with contact information?
  • What types of clients do you typically work with?
  • Does your firm have experience with businesses like mine?
  • What common problems have you helped other businesses with?
  • Do you provide audit defense? Have any of your clients been audited?
  • Who will be doing the work?
  • Who is my direct point of contact?
  • What method of communication do you prefer?
  • Who else will be working on or reviewing my account?
  • How will you keep my information private and protected?
  • What are your hours?
  • What is your fee structure?

Reviews for Columbus cpa firms

Recent success stories from people in the Columbus area.
Amy B.
He's a number wizard. It's my first time having an accountant, and I came to our first meeting feeling pretty ill-prepared. I'm a small business (it's just me) and I felt strange hiring someone to do my books. I thought I should have been able to do it myself. He very soon made me feel comfortable and assured me I'd be fine. Daniel said that it's smart to ask for help, and focus on the things I do best. He prepared a great spreadsheet for me for all my expenses so now I'm set up to fend for myself better. He told me his timeline, updated me as he got things done and had it all finished just as he said he would. I'll definitely have him do my taxes next year.
