I am in the USA.

My CPA (who is very very good and normally does doctors, lawyers, etc) told me that the additional bookkeeping costs with his office would be about $3000 a year. That it required totally different bookkeeping (meticulous) than the shoebox of receipts and the scribbled notes I give him once a year and I probably wouldn't be able to keep the paperwork up.)

I only pay him about $700-$900 a year for doing my taxes this way.

He knows what I do, he has done my taxes for maybe 15 years since I had a retail store. He is very good and I trust him 100%. It wasn't the cost of incorporation, it was the difference in bookkeeping. And I don't have extra hours in the day to do weird extra bookkeeping.
