How the benchmark is built

Bookkeeping uses $500 per month as the default comparison amount. Edit it to match the monthly bookkeeping or close support on your current proposal.

Business tax preparation uses $1,310 per year and advisory uses $175 per month. Those are conservative estimates based on the midpoint or lower edge of Ignition's U.S. accounting-firm pricing ranges, with a small adjustment for current pricing.

State filing uses $500, matching Pilot's current additional-state filing price. Registered agent uses $187, the midpoint between current $125 and $249 public annual prices from Northwest and LegalZoom.
