Expats:
n light of our goal to make the tax filing process a more simplified experience for expats we have adopted a fixed-fee structure. Transparent pricing allows clients to budget properly and prevents any unexpected billings. Our standard federal return package is designed to fit most expats' tax needs. If after reviewing your situation we find that your filing requirements go beyond what is included in our standard package, we will present you with a final quote before we start working on your return.

How other firms may bill you:
Some firms base their pricing on "billable hours" and bill you based on the hours they've spent preparing you return. They may give you a "rough" estimate up front, but there is no way to know exactly how much their services would cost until after they've done all the work. So if things take longer than expected, you might end up stuck with a bill and possibly a sticker shock at the end. Other firms that offer flat-fee pricing might advertise a low base price but be aware of what gets included in that price; you might find that certain common forms are not covered and that you would have to pay for multiple additional forms and schedules.
