How much should an accounting business charge in annual accounting/tax prep fees? I'm doing a little research on accounting & consulting fees. I work for a nationwide niche firm that has about 1,500 accounting clients (including tax prep) averaging about 700-800K per year in operating revenue. I believe we are undercharging for our services. Our average accounting fees are about 1% of revenue or 7-8K per year on an average client. We do perform some other services like collections, payroll, financial planning, etc. on some clients raising the total amount to 1.2-1.3%. Do those seem like appropriate percentages? I'm curious what type of benchmarks others have in their accounting and tax businesses or if anyone knows of a good source of information for this type of thing. Any input would be much appreciated as I am looking to possibly buy this business in the future.

Should I get a degree in Business Administration or Accounting? I am thinking of switching from a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Technology to something else due to the saturation of the IT market. My research indicates that Accounting is one of THE most available jobs and is also one of the highest paying non technichal degrees, much higher than Business Admin. My ultimate goal is to start my own business, any business. With a degree in accounting I could go on and get my MBA in accounting so that I can take the CPA exam in my state and start my own business. I could also get a Business Admin degree in undergrad and then an MBA in accounting and still qualify to take the CPA exam in my state and hence, still go into business for myself. It is a tough decision to make though. The BA degree looks easier and is very versatile, not to mention very popular at my school. The down side is that most jobs would benefit from a BA degree don't really require one if you have experience. Also, BA majors tend to make about 7 K less. Michelle, I feel ya girl when it comes to the hiring decision and the job going to someone with a degree rather than someone that has none, but I can tell you from MY experience that I have SEVERAL times beat out people with AA, AAS or BA/BS degrees for jobs when I had NO degree at the time. Why? I had the skills they where looking for... Just food for thought. You still make a very valid point though.
