Accountants Fees

Are your accountant’s fees fair?

We believe strongly in being very transparent about what fees are being charged and when. Wherever possible we offer fixed fees for a item of work rather than charging directly for time. As everyone’s circumstances are different please treat this section as a guide to the likely rates charged. Please feel free to get into contact for a formal quotation.

Fees pledge

  • Charges will be agreed in advance
  • Fees will be fixed wherever possible
  • Hourly charges will be capped in advance
  • No ‘surprise’ charges for a simple email reply or phone call

When quoting for fees, we prefer to quote the maximum it should cost, and give discounts if possible, rather than quote low to win your business and push it higher year on year.

Advice

Advice is generally chargeable based on a competitive hourly, half day or daily rate. Advice is generally in the form of a detailed letter, which starts at £350+VAT.

More detail on advice fees

Our aim on fees is to charge a reasonable sum over the lifetime of your business.  We don’t have a short-term focus on monthly or annual billing, so if you need extra help, you get it rather than a surprise bill.
