Curious to see what others are doing in terms of fee increases for fixed fee engagements this year. I'm going in for 15% to 20% on average for my assurance clients, and I haven't had a single client push back (yet), which makes me think maybe I'm not being aggressive enough. Also in a HCOL area.

I haven’t gotten more than 10% anywhere this year. I would say we are in a MCOL area. Still a lot of competition in my area.

Are you an Audit Partner? I am not seeing the type of increase on my end.

Yeah. I've heard firms doing anywhere from 10% to 30% to keep up with rising wages. Although I think firms doing 30% are essentially trying to cull those clients.

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?

Looking at fee increases for 2021 tax compliance and probably going for 10% increase with most clients to account for increases to wage levels this year. I’m expecting to negotiate down to 5-8% on some clients. With producer price index at 8.6% I’m hoping to successfully sell clients on the reality of higher fees. Those that want to fire me over fees I feel ok losing clients with decreasing profitability that can be replaced within a year. What kind of increase are you pursuing?
