Common questions.
Do I have to come to an office? add
No. M. Naste CPAs is fully remote. All communication is by email and phone. Documents are shared through a secure client portal, tax returns are e-filed, and signatures are electronic. No office visits required anywhere in New England.
How much does monthly bookkeeping cost? add
Monthly bookkeeping starts at $300/month for businesses with lower transaction volume and scales to $1,500/month or more depending on complexity. Every engagement starts with a fixed-fee quote so you know the cost before we begin.
How much does a business tax return cost? add
Business tax returns (S-corp, partnership, C-corp) typically range from $1,200 to $3,500 per year depending on complexity. Individual returns with Schedule C range from $600 to $1,500. Every return is quoted with a fixed fee before work starts.
Who actually handles my work? add
A licensed CPA handles your work directly. M. Naste CPAs does not use junior staff or offshore teams. The CPA who prepares your return is the same person you communicate with throughout the year.
Do you serve businesses in my state? add
Yes. M. Naste CPAs serves businesses throughout New England — Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. The firm is fully remote, so location within the region is not a barrier.
Can you handle multi-state tax filings? add
Yes. We prepare multi-state business and individual tax returns, including apportionment schedules for businesses operating across multiple states.
What is the difference between tax compliance and tax advisory? add
Tax compliance means preparing and filing your returns accurately. Tax advisory means proactively spotting opportunities to improve your tax position — entity structure, retirement plans, year-end projections, and transaction planning. At M. Naste CPAs, advisory is built into the relationship, not sold separately.
How does onboarding work? add
Every engagement begins with a written scope and a fixed fee agreed to before work starts. Once agreed, you receive access to a secure client portal for document sharing. There are no surprise invoices for out-of-scope calls.
