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.
