Ann: FBR Receives R&D Tax Incentive Cash Refund, page-34

Do you know how public practice firms work? They charge an hourly rate that can range any where from $200 to $2,000 per hour. We're not in the 90's and early 2000's where these firms were cowboys and fees were based on the outcome. Yes these firms have the discretion to add a premium but it needs to be justified to the client.

For reference I negotiated with a mid tier to set up far more complex transfer pricing structure than this R&D rebate for $10k. I can guarantee that FBR have one accountant working full time on this because there is literally no work for all of them to be working flat out.
