The cost of an accounting will vary with the length of the accounting period, the quality and legibility of the records and the complexity of the transactions to be recorded. As a guideline, the cost of accountings prepared from one source of information such as bank custody statements average about $1.00 to $1.50 per transaction. If you will give us the opportunity to review the records for an accounting we will give you a quote for the cost of the accounting and the estimated time of completion.
How much will an estate accounting cost?
Estate accountings often involve multiple sources of information and are generally more complex than trust accountings. In order to give you an accurate quote for an estate accounting project we will need to review the records and discuss the project with you.
How long will it take to complete the accounting?
The completion time is generally 30 to 60 days. An expedited service is available if necessary.
What documents need to be supplied?
