FAQ

CPA Fees in Ohio

How much do CPAs charge per hour?

Staff/associates: $150–$250. Senior/manager: $250–$400. Partners: $350–$650+. Metro markets (NYC, SF, LA) sit at the high end of each band.

Do CPAs charge flat fees or hourly?

Tax prep and recurring bookkeeping are usually flat-fee. Audit, litigation, and advisory work are typically hourly. Some firms offer monthly retainer models for ongoing advisory.

Why are CPA fees so much higher than a regular accountant?

CPAs hold a state-issued license, have passed the Uniform CPA Exam, and carry malpractice insurance and continuing education requirements. You're paying for licensure, liability coverage, and deep technical expertise.
