Your choice
Who posts the transactions?
Some directors like to stay hands-on, others want it all taken off their desk. The fee covers both.
Send us your documents, we do the rest
Upload your invoices and receipts to your client portal or connect your bank feed. Your accountant posts and reconciles everything on a rhythm that suits your volume, weekly or monthly, and asks you only about what is unclear.
- No need to learn accounting software
- Questions come to you in one batch, not every day
- Your books are closed and checked every month
Stay hands-on, with a qualified accountant behind you
You or your manager post the day-to-day transactions. We show you how with video lessons from our own accountancy course: you can watch each one as many times as you need. Then we check your work, correct it, and close the month properly.
- Video lessons included, at no extra cost
- We explain not just how, but why each entry matters
- One-to-one lesson with an accountant if you want it: £60 an hour

Annual agreement · paid monthly
A fee built around your company
Your fee depends on what your company actually does: bank transactions, payroll, VAT and CIS. Answer a few questions for an estimate. Minimum £250 a month, or £450 if VAT registered, all including VAT.
A transaction is every line on your statements, money in and money out: bank, card, Wise, PayPal, Stripe and marketplace payouts. Not sure? A typical small business with 2–3 card payments a day has around 50–80 transactions a month across all accounts.
Your estimated monthly fee, including VAT
£250
This is an estimate based on your answers. Your accountant will confirm the exact fee in a free 15-minute Zoom meeting, once we have looked at your records.

Questions
Monthly accounting questions
Scroll over them, use the arrows or select a question.
Bookkeeping and bank reconciliation, VAT returns, payroll and PAYE, CIS returns and workplace pension submissions where you need them, your annual accounts and Corporation Tax return, your client portal and chat with your accountant, and our video lessons on keeping your records. Your exact fee depends on your volume of transactions, payslips and returns.
Yes. Many directors post their own transactions. We show you how with video lessons from our own accountancy course, at no extra cost, then check and close your books every month. If you would like a one-to-one lesson with an accountant, it costs £60 an hour.
No. We work in the software you already use. If you are just starting, we suggest the most affordable option that fits your business, often a free one that works with your bank.
After our first consultation we contact your previous accountant for a professional handover of your records and deadlines, check what is open, and take over from there. If something needs correcting, we tell you before we start.
You chat with us online in your client portal and can call us at any time during business hours: an accountant or our administrator answers. You do not wait weeks for a reply.
Yes. The minimum is £250 a month for companies that are not VAT registered and £450 a month for VAT-registered companies, including VAT. Every company still needs its returns prepared and checked, even in a quiet month.
One-off services such as company registration or closure, VAT registration and specialist consultations are quoted separately before we start. If you need daily bookkeeping, credit control and forecasting, our management accounts and ongoing support service replaces an in-house accountant.
It is an annual agreement, paid monthly. That lets us plan your year, from the first VAT return to the Corporation Tax return.
