Embarking on the journey of financial management often prompts the question: 'How much does an accountant cost?' In this blog post, we delve into the various factors that influence accounting fees, demystifying the pricing structures and providing insights to help you make informed decisions about hiring an Accountant in Stafford for your personal or business needs.
Do we have a set price we can give over the phone?
We work with business owners who have a passion to grow their business. Our service is a FORCE guiding you throughout the year, not just a calculator at the end of the year. We take the time to get to know your business and work out a custom price based on what services you need.
We hold an initial telephone conversation to find out what you are struggling with, followed by a free, no-obligation consultation so we can get to know you and your business needs.
We listen to your:
- Needs
- Dreams
- Fears
- Celebrations
We then build a bespoke Accounting package for your business.
How is a Bespoke Accounting Package created?
We use the leading accountants pricing tool - Go Proposal. All pricing is honest and transparent, built in front of you while we chat.
Each service is clearly listed with a set price. We go through each service highlighting its benefits, but we also guide you on the services you do and do not need. We never sell a service we do not think you need.
Which services will I need to be compliant with tax?
This will depend on:
1. What type of business you are
- Sole Trader
- Partnership – How many Partners
- Limited Company – How many Shareholders
- Landlord – How many properties
2. If you employ staff - do you require payroll?
3. If you are you registered for VAT so will require VAT returns
4. If you need company secretarial services for a Limited Company
Which services will help me build my dream?
- Budgets & cashflow forecasting will help you to plan.

Which services will help overcome fears or time constraints?

- Bookkeeping Services:
Every single business must keep accurate Bookkeeping records. We can guide you if you wish to complete the Bookkeeping yourself, or we can complete the full Bookkeeping for you, freeing your time to run your business and taking away any fears of making errors.
