    Dear All,

    I am in the process of engaging with property accountant and I am on the lookout, can you please advise the range of how much they charge you, and who you are dealing with?

    Thank you beforehand.

    A good one will charge you around $300+ per hour.

    An ordinary one may charge a around $200 per tax return then extra based on per property, shares etc.

         From experience paying more doesnt mean better.       With the expensive ones you will be paying for the name and their self promotion.         Take Chan and Naylor as an example.  Yes $ 300 does sound steep.   The lower  charging accontants seem to have more integrity, then those just chasing the dollar.
