Kane Tax & Accounting

Kane Tax & Accounting is a full-service CPA firm located at 2848 W Tours Dr in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, serving individuals and business owners in North Idaho and the Spokane area. The firm provides comprehensive accounting, tax planning, bookkeeping, payroll, and strategic CFO services under the leadership of Collin Kane, CPA. They operate with a focus on year-round proactive planning rather than just annual filing.

The firm offers a Core plan starting at $600 per month plus a $1,500 onboarding fee, which includes annual tax prep and filing for both business and personal returns. A more comprehensive Growth plan starts at $995 per month plus a $2,500 onboarding fee and adds monthly bookkeeping and managed payroll services. All pricing is structured on a fixed-fee basis to avoid billing surprises.

Clients can begin by scheduling a 30-minute discovery call to discuss their business structure and financial goals, followed by a strategic planning session to identify tax-saving opportunities. The process moves into an ongoing partnership where the firm handles monthly bookkeeping and proactive tax planning so clients can focus on growing their business. There is no obligation to sign a long-term contract after the initial consultation.

The firm specifically targets small business owners, solopreneurs, and entrepreneurs who need clarity on their finances without corporate jargon. They are well-suited for high earners with equity compensation, investors selling property, and households navigating multi-state residency across Idaho, Washington, and Montana. Their model is designed for those who want a CPA actively involved in year-round strategy rather than just April filing.

The firm differentiates itself by charging a flat monthly fee instead of hourly rates, ensuring transparency and predictable budgeting for clients. They emphasize a no-corporate-BS approach where Collin Kane communicates in plain English and provides honest assessments of where he can add value. The goal is to build a long-term partnership focused on sustainable, profitable business growth rather than a one-time filing.

They serve a specific geographic region including Coeur d'Alene, Clarkston, Colfax, Dalton Gardens, Harrison, Hayden, Kellogg, Lewiston, Liberty Lake, Moscow, Palouse, Post Falls, Potlatch, Pullman, Rathdrum, Sandpoint, Wallace, and the broader Silver Valley and Eastern Washington areas. The firm explicitly notes they focus on North Idaho and Eastern Washington markets for their small business tax strategy.

The firm provides a wide range of services including individual tax planning, individual tax preparation, small business tax planning and preparation, bookkeeping, payroll management, and fractional CFO services.

The firm's process begins with a discovery call to outline the working relationship, followed by a strategic planning session to identify blind spots and build a custom tax strategy. Afterward, they enter an ongoing partnership providing monthly reports, proactive tax planning, and direct phone support to handle the books and keep clients tax-ready.

The firm operates on a fixed-fee pricing model with no hourly billing, ensuring clients know exactly what they are paying every month without surprise bills. They also provide semi-annual tax planning sessions and handle everything from entity returns to owner compensation and quarterly planning for Idaho businesses.

The firm's website states they use a 100 percent fixed-fee pricing model so there are never any surprises for clients. They also emphasize that they do not use jargon that makes clients feel dumb and instead talk to them like humans to ensure understanding.

The firm's pricing factors include transaction volume, the number of accounts to reconcile, and sales tax jurisdictions, all of which drive the cost up or down. They note that bookkeeping is priced in steps of 50 transactions, and every bank account or credit card adds to the scope of the engagement.

The firm offers a free 30-minute consultation where they provide an honest assessment of the client's situation and outline what working together would look like. Clients can also use their instant price estimator tool on the website to get a real number for their specific situation without needing a phone call.

The firm's team is led directly by Collin Kane, CPA, who is a licensed and certified public accountant with a focus on small business tax specialists. He describes himself as a husband, dad, and business owner who understands the juggle of running a business and managing finances.
