I have been filing with this company for years (literally nine years). Suddenly I got a quote that is almost double the price. They want to charge me 830 dollars for one year of running my taxes when it's normally around half or max 500. What is going on? They responded to my concern to say that their prices are inflated because of the lack of accountants and the new software they have to use and so on. Question: would you pay 830 bucks to run taxes when you don't have property, any other income besides a foreign salary and thousand bucks of consultant pay and literally never have a high enough bank balance to report anything? (I feed all my money directly into my pension pillars so my bank balance is so low and literally there is nothing extraordinary about my financial circumstances right now.)These folks used to be really nice when they needed clients. Super helpful. Now they are snobby and they have too many clients and not enough accountants and charge more. That was the memo they made sure I received from every direction and with every message the last two days. They asked me to name a price in the end so I'm "not in a corner so late in the year" based on the surprise rate hike and "I'd have time to find some other service."I said 500. And the response was "that is extremely low for a firm of our size but ok." I mean, is that tone necessary? Who cares what size your firm is. I am a client and loyal and if you are too busy for me and able to rob other people, why would I think anything big of you?I don't. And I found a cheaper way to go even this year. Much cheaper. Look out, AI might make that accounting company quite small soon and you all will remember that being cool with your customers is better an evergreen setting.
