$50 Bucks Says We Will Knock Block Off Your Back!Submitted by taxman on January 30, 2009 - 11:25pm.
We have caller's call our office all the time and ask us about our pricing. They usually ask "how much do you charge to do xyz?"

Allow me to share a secret with you that most folks don't know. We are a CPA firm. As a CPA firm we have a higher professional standard than H&R Block. Therefore, if we are higher it is justified. The fact is, I have never seen a bill from H&R Block that was cheaper than my bill on a similar return in the next filing season. You just read it once but let me put it another way. In 19+ years of preparing tax returns I have never seen an H&R Block bill that was less expensive than our bill on a similar tax return and that is comparing their previous years bill with our current year bill.

Here is my offer to any takers. We will prepare your return of a similar nature and guarantee that our price will be less than H&R Block from the previous year. If we are not less then we will meet their price and pay you $50 for allowing us the opportunity to help you with your taxes and earn your business. In addition to the $50 price guarantee you will get:
