Pricing
We adopt a transparent pricing structure so that we only charge you for time actually spent doing the work for you. Consistent with our ethos of no surprises, your bill will never be more than 10% greater than your estimate and in most cases is generally less!
We aim to practice what we preach by keeping overheads to a minimum. Strict cost control enables us to pass on lower fees to our clients so that you get a great service and a extremely resonable price. This is one of the many reasons why we are normally cheaper than most high street accountancy practices.
Because we price on a client by client basis, it is difficult to provide an exact quotation. However, see below a list of examples that should help you appreciate what you can expect to pay.
