Pricing questions
Questions about our fees
How do I get a price?
Request a free quote. We reply within one working day with a fixed fee in writing and exactly what it covers. There is no obligation.
Can the fee change once I accept?
No — the fee in your written quote is fixed for the work it describes. If you ask for anything outside that scope, we agree the extra cost with you in advance, charged at an hourly rate.
What do your published prices look like?
Micro-entity accounts with the CT600 start from £299 for companies with turnover under £40,000, and payroll starts from £15 per employee per month. Other services are quoted to your records and filing frequency.
Can you file faster than the standard turnaround?
Yes — express filing within a week is available for an additional £150, subject to availability.
Do your fees include the tax I owe?
No. Our fee covers preparing and filing. Any tax, and any statutory fees such as Companies House confirmation statement fees, are paid by you directly.
