CPA firm versus enrolled agent or independent preparer
How organized your records are when you hand them over
Multi-state filings for new Florida residents
Deadline pressure, since last-minute work in April often carries a rush fee

Local tips

Deliver complete, organized documents in one batch to avoid hourly sorting charges
Ask whether a simple return can be done by a staff preparer at a lower rate
Meet in the off-season for planning, when hourly rates sometimes drop and attention is better
Keep rental and business records in separate accounts so bookkeeping stays cheap
