Growing With You—While Maintaining Excellence and Security

Dear Valued Clients,

We wanted to give you a heads-up: beginning with the 2025 tax season (starting January 1, 2026), some of our service fees will be adjusted. Increases will vary between 15%, up to 25% depending on the service Senter, CPA, P.C. provides you (assuming the scope of work, time and complexity is similar tolast year). We understand that price changes can feel unsettling, so we want to share exactly what’s driving this decision—and why this helps us serve you even better.

Maintaining Quality & Capacity

To avoid burnout—yours or ours—we carefully manage workloads. We continue to hire and train team members to match growth in demand, ensuring responsiveness and consistency in service delivery.

What This Means for You

· Transparent Value: Our goal is to continue delivering exceptional service, strategic insight, and secure systems.

· No Service Downgrades: You’ll still have a dedicated team, direct access to your advisor, and use of our full suite of tools.

· Scalable Support: As your needs evolve, we’ll be ready to support growth—without sacrificing quality.
