Fixed monthly fees, and you will know yours before you commit
One agreed figure a month, no hourly billing for a quick question, and no invoice you did not see coming. Sole traders are priced on time, with a two-hour minimum. Limited companies sit on one of three packages, set by how much bookkeeping there is. Below is exactly what each one covers — we confirm your fee in writing after a short call, once we know what is genuinely involved.
Sole Trader
Priced on time rather than tiers, because no two sole traders look alike. A minimum of two hours' bookkeeping a month covers most people, and if a month runs longer you only pay for the hours it actually took.
- Two hours of bookkeeping a month included
- MTD-compatible software licence
- Four quarterly updates filed
- Final declaration or self assessment return
- Unlimited email and phone questions
- Annual tax planning review
A flat monthly fee covering two hours of bookkeeping and all your Making Tax Digital filing. If a month runs longer, additional hours are charged at our standard rate — only when needed, and always agreed with you first.

A transaction is one line on your bank or card statement, in or out. If you outgrow a tier we tell you before we move you, never after.
