Some quotes tuck a signed report into a pile of hours. That hour was never for sale here, and it helps to see the two lists apart.
Audits, reviews, compilations, examinations of prospective figures, agreed procedures, and any report that assures financial statements. Those stay with a firm that holds the license. The Texas State Board of Public Accountancy publishes the lookup if that is the desk you need.
The long list is the rest of a month. The close. Cash. One decision. Owner pay after you know the tax election. The return that reads those books. October.
If the hour you needed was the short list, the calendar on this site is the wrong tool, and we would rather say that immediately.
Naming a meeting and giving it a job is ordinary work, and nothing about it comes with a CPA license, which this desk does not hold. Audits, reviews, compilations and assurance reports stay with a firm that does hold one, and if a quote you were given promised any of those, you'll hear so before a month is discussed. Setting payroll up on a provider you own is part of the job; pressing the button each period is yours. The fuller wording sits on the disclosures page.

Breadth is the long list living on one desk. Height is knowing the short list is beneath the seat, not the seat itself, and still treating it as real work.
I asked for hours. I can see which hour was never going to be in the pile.
