Big Firms vs. GoVirtualCPA - The Real Difference
Big CPA firms charge $185-$445 per hour depending on who touches your file, and most don't offer monthly subscriptions. We provide flat monthly rates at typically half the cost of large firms. You'll know exactly what you're paying on the first of every month - no surprise billing, no hidden fees.
Most businesses hire a separate bookkeeper and CPA, which leads to miscommunication and extra fees for coordination. Some hire cheap bookkeepers without real accounting education, then pay their CPA a fortune at tax time to clean up the mess. We handle your bookkeeping, tax planning, and tax preparation all under one roof with seamless coordination, fewer errors, and consistent service from the same certified team.
Big firms lock you into long-term contracts. We don't. Our services are month-to-month because we prove our worth each and every month. Cancel with just 30 days notice. We carry professional liability and cyber insurance to keep you and your business protected, and we fully stand behind our work.
Large firms pass your business around between different staff members who change every few months. You're constantly re-explaining your situation to someone new. With GoVirtualCPA, you work directly with Michael and Dawn every single time. We build personal relationships and genuinely care about how your business is doing. You can pick up the phone and call us anytime - you'll always know who's working on your books.
