FAQs

Are prices final?

The price in your written quote is fixed for the agreed scope. If the scope changes, for example a second property or an extra year appears, you get a new quote before we continue.

Do you charge a percentage of tax refunds?

No. Every service has a fixed fee independent of the refund amount.

Do you submit before payment?

No. Work starts on payment, and we file only after you approve the draft.

What is the difference between coaching and consulting?

Coaching is a conversation where you make the decisions, with structure and support. Consulting is a service where I do the analysis and deliver a concrete result: a document, a calculation or recommendations.

Can I combine services?

Yes. The Start Smart bundle is the most common combination, and any mentoring package can be topped up with a fixed consulting package at a 10 percent discount.

Can you deal with Revenue follow-up questions?

Routine queries about a return we filed are included in Full Service. More complex procedures are billed hourly.

Can I send documents via WhatsApp?

You can, but for sensitive documents we recommend the secure portal you receive with your engagement letter.

Do you work with clients abroad?

Yes, every service is available online. Non-resident landlords with local rental income are the most common example.
