Tax planning professionals save clients money on taxes and get paid for it. Tax planning is the process of reviewing your client’s business, personal life and the regulatory environment, to determine how they can proactively plan to pay less in taxes while achieving their overall financial growth plans.
For this process, we take a tax preparation engagement and break it into 4 components. These are priced separately and can be combined into an annually recurring contract:
The Planning is the most important
part of the engagement.
You are performing a review of their tax position and making recommendations for how much you can save them. We charge 30% of estimated savings minimum $2,500 and capped at $9,800.
We limit the pricing to $9,800 to get the client in the door. We make the rest up on implementation.
During the Tax Planning engagement we present the client with anywhere from 1-25+ strategies depending on their circumstances.
We may choose 1-4 basic strategies to implement with planning, but most strategies require time to implement.
We charge minimum $1,000 up to tens of thousands or more for implementation. There may be commissions from 3rd parties.
The preparation of the returns is a separate fee from the planning and the implementation.
This also does not include any write-up or clean up work.
Business returns are a minimum of $1,200 and a target of $2,000+.
Individual returns are minimum $750, target of $1,000+.
Keeping up with the compliance to ensure the savings are defendable, and realized in the returns, you may decide to charge for quarterly maintenance.
This includes basic planning, implementation of basic planning strategies, review of financial results and estimated payments.
We charge $1,000+ or more per quarter. If you’re bundling preparation, ensure you add
that to the price.

When new legislation has been drafted or passed, we provide daily updates about the bill’s progress through the legislature and our interpretations of it. This way, you’ll be able to implement the new legislation with your tax and accounting clients within days. We’ve covered:
Perhaps the most effective way to get new clients for your tax and accounting firm is by offering tax planning. Not everyone thinks they need a Chief Financial Officer or financial advisor, but everyone wants to pay less taxes. We coach you to offer a free tax assessment and help you promote it with LinkedIn marketing, Facebook ad copy and templates and dozens of proven email marketing templates you can copy and paste.
In our coaching programs, you’ll get access to client onboarding materials, engagement letters, kick-off call templates, the tax plan deliverable itself as well as the ability to request files from your clients. We’ll help you systematize the delivery so you can deliver tax plans in less time than tax preparation, and with your staff performing 90%+ of the processing without a tax manager (or 100% with a tax manager).
Corvee Tax Planning automatically scans, identifies and extracts key information from tax returns to save you time. When combined with questionnaire data, you’ll have 99% of the necessary information to complete a proactive tax plan to save your clients money every year. With Corvee Tax Planning, this can all be done within a matter of minutes.
Turn your tax preparation clients into tax planning clients. Save them money on taxes, then charge 30% of their estimated current year savings for your tax planning services. In our coaching program, we show tax planning professionals how to charge $10,000+ for implementing tax planning strategies, as well as how to charge $2,000+ for a business tax return and $1,000+ for an individual return. We’ll also show you how to charge $1,000+ for quarterly estimated payments and ongoing support for implementing your tax planning strategies.
Getting someone to pay 5-7x more for tax planning than they paid for tax preparation may sound difficult, but it can be simple. We arm tax planning professionals with a 150-slide education-based sales presentation to teach your tax and accounting clients the value of tax planning. Using this presentation, you’ll also show them three client illustrations, a tax savings estimation specific to their business and the full suite of services you can offer to help with their growth. You can use this presentation with other staff, partners or sales representatives of your firm.
