The cost of bookkeeping depends on how much movement flows through your accounts each month. Our pricing covers the full service — transaction entry, bank reconciliation, VAT tracking, and monthly reporting — and is scoped to the volume and complexity you actually have.
Short answer: bookkeeping pricing is driven by how many transactions move through your accounts each month, how many bank accounts and entities are in scope, whether VAT registration is part of the service, and whether your records are current or need a catch-up pass first. We discuss all four factors on a discovery call, then confirm a price that reflects your actual books.
Every bookkeeping engagement is scoped to the same handful of variables.
The number of bank lines, invoices, and payments that move through your accounts each month is the primary cost driver. Higher volume means more reconciliation work, data entry, and bank matching. A business with 50 monthly transactions is different from one with 500.
The more bank accounts, savings accounts, credit cards, and legal entities in scope, the more reconciliation and tracking is needed. A sole trader with one current account costs less than a partnership with multiple accounts and entities.
If VAT is registered and in scope, we track the tax position, support quarterly VAT returns, and maintain compliance records. VAT-registered bookkeeping involves additional reporting and regulatory tracking.
If your records are behind and need a catch-up pass before we take over — recovering old statements, reconciling past periods, or clearing out old unmatched transactions — that initial work is scoped separately as a one-off cost, separate from recurring bookkeeping.
Some work is separate from monthly bookkeeping and is scoped individually:
Tell us your transaction volume, how many accounts and entities you have, and whether VAT is in scope — we'll come back with a scoped price.
