PRICING
The Value of Proactive Strategy
We do not sell timesheets; we deliver outcomes. Our pricing is transparent and fixed, based on the strategic value we provide, not the hours we bill.
What is "Reactive Accounting" Costing You?
Most accountants work backwards, they tell you what happened last year when it’s too late to change anything. Reactive accounting keeps you guessing about your financial future and limits your ability to make confident strategic decisions.
Always Looking Backwards
Year-end accounts arrive 9 months late, telling you what you already know about decisions you made last year.
Flying Blind on Decisions
Should you hire that key person? Expand to a new location? Make that investment? You’re guessing because your financial picture is always out of date.
Cash Flow Anxiety
Will there be enough cash next quarter? Can you afford that equipment? That new team member? Uncertainty keeps you awake at night because your accountant doesn’t forecast.
Tax Surprises
January brings an unexpected tax bill you didn’t budget for. No proactive planning means missing legitimate tax saving opportunities year after year.
The Problems
The Perverse Incentive of Hourly Billing
When your accountant charges by the hour, there’s a fundamental conflict of interest: they profit when tasks take longer. That means:
01
No Incentive for Efficiency
Why would your accountant invest in better systems, automation, or streamlined processes when slower work means higher fees? The faster and more efficient they become, the less money they make from you.
02
Strategic Thinking Gets Skipped
Proactive tax planning, scenario modelling, and strategic advice take time, but they reduce your future needs for reactive work. An hourly-billed accountant who helps you avoid problems is literally working themselves out of billable hours.
03
It Should Be An Encouraged Relationship
Got a quick question about whether to lease or buy? Thinking about restructuring? Every phone call costs money, so you hesitate to reach out. The exact moment you need strategic guidance is when you can’t afford to call.
04
Unpredictable Costs Create Budget Anxiety
You never know what your accounting bill will be each month. Was it 6 hours or 16? Did that quick email turn into a 2-hour research project? The uncertainty makes budgeting impossible and creates invoice shock.

What Factors Determine Your Fixed Fee?
This is a core part of our “radical transparency.” Your fixed monthly investment is based on three simple factors, not on billable hours. This ensures we are always focused on providing value, not on watching the clock.
Business Complexity
Are you a single-SME, or do you have multiple entities, international sales, or complex VAT requirements?
Anticipated Revenue
Focusing on the future, sales are a key driver as a business grows. With growth comes further complexity around tax, and the conversations become more strategic. There’s value in this.
