Final fees are confirmed in writing after a short intro call. Pricing reflects a typical engagement; complex situations (multi‑state, large rental portfolios, prior‑year cleanup) are quoted individually.

How pricing works

You're paying for an outcome — not a stopwatch.

Hourly billing rewards slow work and quietly punishes you for asking questions. Flat annual fees do the opposite — and that matters when education is part of the job.

Flat fees, quoted up front

Before any work begins, you get a written fee for the year. No hourly meters, no surprise invoices — if a quick call helps you make a better decision, that's the point.

Priced on value, not hours

What matters isn't how long the return takes. It's that it's accurate, optimized, and that you have someone in your corner. The fee reflects the outcome, not a stopwatch.

Same fee, year after year

Pricing only changes when your situation meaningfully changes — a new business, a new property, a new income stream. Otherwise, what you pay this year is what you pay next year.

One advisor, one invoice

Bookkeeping, business returns, and personal returns are bundled. No separate bills. No piecing it together across providers. Just one supportive relationship.

Common questions

A few things people usually ask.

What if my situation changes mid‑year?+
If something meaningful happens — you start a business, take on rental property, or have a big income shift — we'll re‑quote before doing the additional work. Small questions and check‑ins are always included.
Do you charge for phone calls and emails?+
No. The flat fee covers all the regular back‑and‑forth. The whole point is that you don't hesitate to reach out — that's how the relationship is supposed to work.
Do you work with clients outside Charlotte?+
Yes. We work with clients across North Carolina and remotely across the country. The experience is fully digital — secure portal, e‑signatures, and video meetings — without losing the personal relationship.
What about prior‑year cleanup or amended returns?+
Quoted separately, but quoted up front. If reviewing your last two returns turns up missed deductions, Nadia will tell you what amending would cost and what you'd likely recover.
When are fees due?+
Half at engagement, half when your return is filed. Business clients on monthly bookkeeping are billed monthly via ACH.
Is there a minimum engagement?+
My Tax Lady is built around long‑term relationships, so this isn't the right fit for one‑off lowest‑cost filings. There's no multi‑year contract either — just a real ongoing relationship.
Next step

Financial clarity starts with a simple conversation.

A short consultation, a quick look at last year's return, and a clear number — in writing — for what this year will look like. No pressure. No jargon. Just clarity.
