Are there any hidden bookkeeping or other fees?

One invoice covers your Monthly Bookkeeping and your Payroll & HR software. Your subscription renews automatically each month.
No hidden fees: There's no add-on fees for reports and no charges for connecting your bank account. There's also no fees for giving your chartered accountant, tax agent, or anyone else access to your books, though your own accounting package may charge for extra users.
Sole traders: Your Self Assessment return is included at no extra cost. Your business return and your personal return are the same document, so preparing it is part of what your subscription already covers.
Partnerships, LLPs, and companies:
- A partnership or an LLP gets its partnership return covered, plus one partner's personal Self Assessment is also included. Further partners are available at £9/mth each.
- A limited company director's personal Self Assessment is a different return from the company's, and that's available as a £9/mth add-on too.
- If you forget to add the monthly add-on before your financial year-end, a standalone one-off return is £149/yr.
Paid add-ons: Two more things sit outside your monthly price:
- VAT returns, prepared for you to submit, are £19/mth if you're VAT registered.
- Making Tax Digital for Income Tax quarterly updates are £19/mth as well.
Catch-up: If any past months of the current accounting period haven't been professionally prepared when you join, catch-up bookkeeping on those is charged separately. We'll quote you clearly before any catch-up work begins.
