Attestation services for what exactly? i.e. in what way is that related to the taxes?
I will say I'm not sure I much trust someone who bases tax fees on a refund. Instead of being paid for how much work they're actually doing, they have an incentive to find deductions for anything and everything -- that may or may not be legitimate. While they should do everything they can to find legitimate (even if it's a little borderline), fees being based on that makes me a bit nervous. Every accountant I know of around here charges either by the hour or by the form.
