Depends on the revenue that is being generated, the complexity of OP's personal and professional situation combined and what the CPA actually is doing. $1800 by itself is meaningless. It is not always a bargain just like it could be a bargain in many cases.
Lot of CPAs just do the taxes and ensure you are doing the right way. They don't really want to/care about giving you advice on how to save more. That doesn't necessarily make them bad CPAs but it also doesn't give them the license to charge crazy numbers. For example, I had a great CPA when I was consulting solo but they wouldn't help me on how to save money pre tax. I figured out on how to do a SOlo 401K which allows almost 44K per year pre tax (this was a few years ago. limit is higher now). Of course, once I told them, they said yea not a bad idea considering my situation.

So, it depends.
