Report
My father, now deceased, used this firm for years. Because of the long history and familiarity I continued to use them and was very satisfied. The accountant that had handed the return passed away last year. I asked to continue the relationship and was assigned a new accountant who was professional and responsive. Imagine my surprise when a bill arrived with the return that was more than twice the prior year, with no change in income, assets or work.
I should have asked ahead of time but after decades of good service at reasonable cost I assumed the same cost or a modest increase. I asked for some consideration given the history and circumstances and was told they had a minimum for trust work regardless of size. 325 to 750 for the same work, look before you leap, and assume nothing with these guys.
