If you extra $10m you charged me allowed me to be part of a consortium that sold specialised military equipment to the US and that resulted in me acquiring shares that were now worth $100m I would again say that is a fair fee.
Making comparisons is not always wise. You don't know what secret deals are going on behind the scenes.
I once charged a client about $250k in fees. What they got in return was pretty amazing. To this day they are very happy.

mike, it wont Im just charging dobuble cause I wan tto and will bulsshit to you telling you that IM BETTER whenI'm really not and your requst is quite basic.
Then you would have a problem Jaycee because as soon as you were reported to the Tax Agents Board and your fees were seen to have provided no value, and in your own words claimed to be better than others which is in itself a breach of the standards set by CPA Australia and the ICAA, you would be deemed not to be a fit and proper person and lose your license meaning you could no longer act.
mike, theoretically it's been interesting... iterally, it I doubt it has helped explain to the OP if this accountat was charging a little too much for nothing or not, which in his/her inepxerienced mind, they coudl not determine....
sorry,. just tyring to udnerstnad how all this relates back to the OP asking AM I POSSIBLY BEING CHARGED TOO MUCH ?
Jaycee,
I agree it is a difficult question to answer to be honest. Some people say $200 is expensive others say $10 is expensive. Maybe the $200 person gave some good additional advice. Maybe they didn't. At the end of the day you just have to be comfortable within yourself that the fee you paid you feel like you got value for it. I just bought a Prada belt today for $400 AUD. Some people would say it is a waste of money. But I like the design and like original things not ripoffs. So for one person a waste. For another happy with the value for the money.

A good accountant/lawyer is worth their weight in gold. But it's hard to know who is worth a piece of gold and who is worth a piece of coal in your Christmas stocking.
im paying $8k for the following, 2 PAYG with 4 IP and one company return (with all the financial statements) plus another $5k for the SMSF. Ive got a feeling that is a touch more then what I should be paying 
can anyone tell me what sort of service I should be getting for that sort of money and can anyone recommend a good accountant reasonable accountant that knows how to deal with doctor's?

Hmmm.... the value of good accoutants and lawyers have been going up the last week....
Does this mean that the more overweight these professaionals are, the better?
