Fees assume tidy or lightly untidy records. If yours are a genuine tangle we'll say so on the call and quote a fixed catch-up fee before starting, not after.

What every monthly fee includes

  • Reminders before every deadline, not apologies after
  • Unlimited questions by phone or email
  • HMRC letters handled and explained in plain English
  • Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent or spreadsheets: your choice
  • A reply within one working day, from a person
  • Fees reviewed once a year in writing, never mid-year
