The price you see is the starting fee for each package. These things decide where your fee sits.
- The package that fits your business: sole trader, limited company or growing business.
- Optional services you add, such as VAT returns, payroll or monthly management accounts.
- How complex your affairs are, which we discuss with you before we agree the fee.
What is not included
- Optional services shown as Optional in the package table.
- Advisory work, which we quote separately as a fixed-fee package or a project.
- VAT, which is added to every price on this website.
If your needs grow
You can add advisory work whenever your needs change, without changing firm. We agree the scope and the price in writing first.
