How Much Does a Freelance Tax Consultant Cost?

The rate for a freelance tax consultant varies with the nature of the engagement and the level of expertise required. Here's what shapes the budget you should plan for.

What Determines the Price

• The complexity of the topic (optimization, audit, exceptional transaction)
• The consultant's level of expertise and specialization
• The billing model, hourly or per project
• The urgency of the engagement

One-Off Project or Ongoing Support

A short engagement, such as analyzing a specific situation, is generally billed by the hour or per project. Longer support, for example during a restructuring, may be billed on a retainer negotiated in advance.
