What are our Fees ?  

As Accountants and consultants we work on hourly rates. Jobs are completed by our team and are allocated depending on the skill, acumen and experience required.

Potential business clients receive the first half hour of their first consultation at our office free of charge. After the first half hour, our normal rates apply. Potential new business clients will then receive at no cost:

  • a written proposal identifying work to be completed and associated fees. To do this we usually need copies of your previous years financial statements and income tax returns and details of any extra requirements.
  • If our proposal is accepted clients receive a new client information package.

All new clients receive a copy of our engagement letter and Terms of Trade.

Do we offer a bookkeeping service?

Yes, at our Accountants' normal hourly rates. This work is completed by the selected accountant, depending on the complexity, degree of skill and knowledge needed for the particular job.

Do we offer accounting software training?

This work is completed by the selected accountant, depending on the complexity, degree or skill and knowledge needed for the particular job.
