The honest list
What we charge for. And what we don't.
What you pay for
- Your chosen services. That's it.
- Prices shown are per month. You pay by direct debit, or for the whole year in one go if you'd rather.
What's free
- Joining us, including switching from your old accountant
- Dealing with HMRC for you, whatever it's about, including investigations
- Phone calls and emails, as many as you need
- Advice, like a chat about a job you're pricing
- The SiteLedger Financial Dashboard, if we do your bookkeeping (we're rolling it out in stages)
How we set your price
One fixed monthly fee, agreed before you join.
Starting prices, per month. Partnerships pay the same as sole traders, and LLPs the same as limited companies.
The variables
What moves the price up or down
Up
- A backlog of books to catch up
- More transactions going through your business. A one-off busy spell won't count, don't worry :)
- Payroll for more people
- Services done more often. Monthly VAT returns cost more than quarterly ones.
- Tailored services most accountants don't offer, like help with loans, bids and tenders, or how your business or group of companies is set up
Down
- Paperwork captured as you go. Snap a receipt in the Hubdoc app and it goes straight into your books, in about 3 seconds.
- No missing invoices or receipts. If one's missing, work on your books stops until you find it and send it over.
- Paperwork sent digitally instead of on paper

Pricing questions
Can I pay for the year up front?
Yes. You can pay monthly by direct debit, or for the whole year in one go.
Will my price go up?
Only if your business changes, like moving into a higher turnover band or taking on staff. We'll tell you before anything changes.
Is there a set-up fee?
No. Joining us is free, and so is switching from your old accountant.
Do you charge for phone calls?
Never. Ring or email as often as you need, advice included.
