Our Fees
We work on a fixed-fee basis generally. This means that the fee we agree with you is the fee that you pay. Fees include all-year round general support, as well as the year-end accounts and tax work. If significantly more work than expected is required, we will discuss this with you in advance.
NEW CLIENTS
When a new client contacts us, we will meet with you, or have a conference call with you, to understand your circumstances, and requirements, and provide you with an all-inclusive fee quote.
If you are happy to proceed, we then set out the agreed services and fee quote in our standard Engagement Letter (the contract between us). This ensures that you have a record of the services you required, and the agreed fee. We will also take suitable identification at this point for regulatory purposes.
At this point, you are now a client of our practice, and will receive our full client service, regardless of whether your year-end accounts and tax work is due yet.
CURRENT CLIENTS
For current clients, the agreed fee will continue to apply until we discuss and agree a new fee with you. Clients therefore have peace of mind that they will only ever receive a bill for a fee that they have agreed to.
We are more than happy to provide quotes, discuss work up front, or make payment arrangements. We want to ensure you remain happy as our client!
BILLING
Agreed annual fees are billed 50% on signing our Engagement Letter, with the balance billed after completion of the year-end accounts and/or tax-planning / tax return work.
Bills are due for payment 15 days after issue. We do respectfully ask clients to pay bills on time.
