FEES

Rather than the traditional method of calculating fees on a time basis, our fees are calculated based on the number and type of transactions, and the service provided.

You are free to pick and choose as much or as little as you want from the services listed above. If you want to raise your own sales invoices but want us to take care of your purchase invoices and bank transactions that is fine. If you want to be trained in doing your own bookkeeping but want someone to complete the VAT return, calculate dividends and post period end adjustment journals that is possible too. We are here to help with whatever your bookkeeping needs are. If there is something else which is not listed above you need assistance with, please ask and we will help if we can.

Once we have established your requirements you will be given a quote up front before we start work so that you know the final amount you will be charged.

*See management accounts services for examples & further details.

** Quarterly returns, compulsory from April 2026 for many self-employed & landlords.
