Fixed Price Year-End Accounts for
UK Accountancy Practices
so you can quote your own clients with confidence and protect your margin.
Predictable Cost on Every Set of Accounts
Time-based billing can make accounts production harder to price for your own clients. An incomplete or more complex file can take more time than expected, with the additional cost only becoming clear once the work is underway.
Our fixed-price model prices each job before work starts, based on an agreed scope. You know your cost, we know the deliverable, and you can protect your agreed client fee. If the file turns out to be materially different from the agreed scope, we tell you before carrying out the extra work, not after.
A fee agreed per job before work starts
A written scope covering what is and isn't included
An agreed turnaround time from receipt of a complete file
Scope changes flagged and agreed before extra work begins

How Fixed Pricing Works
Scoped First
Each assignment is priced on company size, transaction volume, bookkeeping quality and the applicable accounting framework.
Fee Agreed Upfront
You receive the agreed fee before work starts, so you can build your own client fee around it.
Defined Deliverable
Accounts, lead schedules, supporting workings and a single query list, in your house style.
Change Control
If the file is materially different from the agreed scope, we pause and agree a revised fee before continuing.
