How much do accountants usually charge?

We have an online business and my husband works full time. I am a SAHM. We have investments such as stocks and mutual funds. Our bill this year was almost $900! On top of that we had to pay about $15000 and that is after quarterly payments paid throughout the previous year. I feel like we are getting screwed in a major way! Any advice?????? Also, we are using this guy because he went to college with my husband. There is no way he is cutting us a break.

1. It really depends on where you are - that sounds reasonable to me, but I'm in a major metro area Edit: I noticed the poster below mentioned $75/hour. In my area, a good CPA would be $300+/hr.
2. A good accountant working for himself, would bill out at at least $75/hour. That would be about 12 hours of time. Doesn't sound unreasonable to me.
