FAQ's
Are there any additional fee charges?
No. The monthly fee is agreed in advance and covers the entire service. The monthly accounting fee is calculated according to your business type and scale of activity, and is paid monthly by direct debit.
We will also charge a fixed fee for businesses that join us in the middle of their accounting year. These fees will always be determined upfront, so there will be no surprises.
The monthly payroll fee is based on the payroll frequency and number of employees.
