Compare what annual accounts cost at an accounting firm with the fixed price per size class.

Calculate annual accounts costs

Indicative. Hourly rates and hours spent differ greatly per firm and per file; clean records make the biggest difference in practice.

Explanation

At an accounting firm you usually pay by time spent. The bill therefore rises with the complexity and with the quality of your records: a file that has been cleaned up beforehand costs fewer hours than one in which the clearing accounts still have to be sorted out. A fixed price per size class makes the cost known in advance.

How to use the tool

  1. Choose your size class, or determine it first with the size class calculator.
  2. Give an indication of the hourly rate and the number of hours your firm charges.
  3. You see the difference with the fixed price per annual accounts.
