What affects accountant fees?

Two businesses with similar turnover can require very different amounts of work. We review these practical factors before confirming a fee.

01

Business structure

A sole trader, partnership and limited company have different reporting and tax responsibilities.

02

Records and volume

Transaction numbers, bank accounts, record quality and catch-up work affect bookkeeping time.

03

VAT and payroll

VAT schemes, filing frequency, employee numbers and payroll complexity change the service scope.

04

Reporting needs

Management accounts, cash-flow support and business reviews require additional preparation and analysis.

Need a different combination?

Get a package shaped around the work required

If none of the examples fits, we can quote for an agreed combination of bookkeeping, tax, VAT, payroll, annual accounts and management reporting. We may also quote separately for overdue records, complex transactions or one-off work.

Explore our bookkeeping, payroll, VAT and tax preparation services before arranging a call.

Your proposal should make these points clear

  • 01. The services included in the recurring fee
  • 02. The records and information you must provide
  • 03. Filing, approval and communication responsibilities
  • 04. The treatment of catch-up or additional work
  • 05. The fee, billing frequency and applicable VAT
