How We Structure Our Fees

We believe you should pay for the value you receive — not a one-size-fits-all price list.

We assess the client’s needs first, then structure the engagement around the level of support and value we can provide.

The accounting, tax, payroll and HR requirements of a small owner-managed business can be completely different from those of an established company with multiple employees, complex transactions and more demanding compliance requirements.

That’s why we don’t believe in applying a generic price list to every client.

Instead, we first take the time to understand your business, your current requirements and where you need support. We can then recommend a service structure that is appropriate for your circumstances and provide a clear fee proposal before you commit.

Value-added fees, not just hourly charges

Where appropriate, we structure ongoing services around a value-added monthly fee rather than simply charging for every individual task or conversation.

This gives you access to the support you need without constantly wondering whether contacting your accountant is going to result in another unexpected invoice.

Depending on your requirements, your service arrangement may include a combination of accounting, bookkeeping, tax, payroll, HR administration and ongoing compliance support.

For clients who only require occasional assistance, we also offer ad hoc services where appropriate.

Why we don’t compete on price

You will find mildly cheaper accounting and bookkeeping services in the market. We don’t pretend otherwise.

Our focus is on providing a level of service and involvement that goes beyond simply processing transactions or submitting returns.

We look at your business more broadly. We identify issues that may need attention, provide practical feedback, help improve your financial administration and aim to keep your tax and compliance affairs under control throughout the year.

Our objective is not to be the cheapest option. It is to be the option that provides the greatest value for your business.

Let’s first understand what you need

Rather than asking you to choose a package from a price list, we’d prefer to understand your business first.

We’ll assess what you currently have in place, what you need help with and where we believe we can add the most value. Adding value inadvertently saves clients income tax, at which point our fees become a no-brainer.

From there, we’ll recommend an appropriate service structure and provide you with a clear fee proposal.

No guesswork. No unnecessary services. Just a solution designed around your business.
