Every Fairlight service starts from a published price, and your exact fee goes in writing before anyone opens your books. No running clock, no invoice you didn't see coming.
We don't quote high so we can look generous later. The price you see is the price we'd give a friend, and your exact fee is locked in writing before any work begins.
You're buying the outcome, not the hours. A long phone call or an extra question costs nothing, and the number only changes if you approve a change in scope first.
Your first step never goes to waste. Pay for a Position Check or review, and that amount comes off the engagement it leads to.
Published starting prices. Your exact fee is scoped on a short call and fixed in writing.
Business and personal returns, prepared and reviewed by our cross-border tax team.
Both countries' returns done side by side, under one roof, by our U.S. and Canadian Tax Desks.
Any other country, one team — U.S. expat and new-resident returns, foreign account and company reporting, and treaty positions and credits.
Books closed by mid-month, checked by our cross-border tax team, in the software you already run.
Your team paid on time, and payroll taxes filed for you.
A rolling cash forecast, reporting you can hand a board, and a partner for the hard calls.
The full stack — bookkeeping, returns, and advisory — priced below the sum of its parts.
Everything on a single bill. Want it line by line? See the All-In-One details.

A custom-built engagement, with the scope designed around your business rather than squeezed into a package.
Final quote confirmed in writing before any work begins. No hidden fees.
The same scope of work, two ways: assembled from separate vendors, or run by one team.
Every provider bills you separately — and the seams between them are where deductions get missed.
One relationship, one invoice, zero seams.
Start with one fixed-fee piece of work. Each one credits toward the engagement that follows.
Your U.S. and Canadian filing picture mapped in writing, each exposure sized, and the fix priced.
How it works → ↺ Credited in full if you engage within 60 daysA second read of a return that's already been filed — what was missed, what it's worth, and whether to amend.
How it works → ↺ Credited toward an amendment or next return within 60 daysWhere your books actually stand, plus a punch list of what to clean up before it compounds.
↺ Credited toward the work that followsA sit-down on the financial questions keeping you up, ending with a concrete next move.
↺ Credited toward the work that followsYou sign off on the fee in writing before we begin. It moves only with a scope change you approve.
No hourly billing, so a longer call or one more question never adds to the bill.
Any paid Position Check or review credits toward the work that follows. Nothing up front is wasted.
If the work falls short of what we agreed, we make it right. That's the bar every engagement holds to.
Anything else? Ask on a free consultation — the person who answers is on the team doing the work.
Treat it as the floor for the simplest version of the work. On a short call we scope your situation and write the exact fee down, and that figure holds unless the scope itself changes — with your approval first.
Complexity gets priced into the written quote, not discovered on an invoice. Extra states, partnership income statements (K-1s), or cross-border forms are named and priced in the proposal, so the fee you approve is the fee you pay.
Both. The all-in-one plan costs less than assembling the services separately, and prepaying 12 months takes 10% off. Beyond that we don't play discount games — the list price is already the honest one.
Yes. The $250 Cross-Border Position Check is credited in full toward the engagement that follows if you sign it within 60 days of receiving the written report. You keep the report either way.
You receive an engagement letter before we start. Payment is by ACH or Zelle from a U.S. account, or Interac e-Transfer from a Canadian account.
Fifteen minutes on the phone and your exact fee goes into a written proposal. You owe nothing unless you move forward.
