Confirm whether bookkeeping catch-up, personal returns and Companies House filings are included.
Per agreed return or project
VAT support
Specify the registration, return periods or advice needed and who prepares the underlying records.
Overseas registrations, filings, import issues and HMRC enquiries need explicit scope.
One-off, then ongoing if needed
Platform reconciliation and cleanup
Agree the affected platforms, historical periods, opening balances and expected handover.
Identify connector setup, software migration and ongoing subscriptions.
Six things to check in your written quote
- Recurring fee, billing frequency and the annual total for the agreed period.
- Fee before VAT, VAT charged where applicable and total payable.
- Bookkeeping, VAT, annual accounts, tax returns and payroll: what is included and what is separate.
- Software and connector subscriptions: who pays, plus setup or migration charges.
- Historical cleanup, overseas filings, advisory work and HMRC enquiry support.
- Records you need to supply, reporting timetable, payment terms and how a change of scope is agreed.
What affects your fee?
Channels and order volume
Tell us which marketplaces, stores and payment providers you use, and roughly how many orders you process each month.
Tax and filing requirements
A sole trader’s return, a company’s annual accounts and VAT submissions are different pieces of work. List the filings you need.
Condition of your records
Up-to-date reconciled books need a different scope from several months of missing invoices, duplicate imports or unmatched payouts.
Stock, currencies and overseas sales
Stock locations, foreign-currency settlements and overseas tax obligations can add work. Include them when asking for a quote.
Pricing questions
How much does an ecommerce accountant cost?
Your fee depends on the recurring work, transaction volume, platforms and condition of your records. We provide a fixed written quote for the agreed scope. A bookkeeping-only fee is not directly comparable with a package that also includes VAT returns, annual accounts and tax returns.
Is VAT included in the quoted price?
We set out the fee before VAT, any VAT charged and the total payable in your written quote. You can check the full cost before accepting.
Are Xero, QuickBooks, A2X or Link My Books included?
Software and connector subscriptions need to be identified in the quote, including who pays the provider. Tell us what you already use so subscription costs, setup and migration can be distinguished from ongoing bookkeeping.
Does a monthly fee include my year-end accounts and tax return?
Only when those services and the relevant periods are listed in the agreed scope. The quote should distinguish monthly bookkeeping, VAT returns, annual accounts, company or personal tax returns, and any payroll work.
Will historical cleanup or overseas filings cost extra?
Ask for historical periods, migrations, overseas registrations and filings, HMRC enquiries and advisory projects to be included explicitly or quoted separately. We agree the work and fee before starting.
Can I pay monthly?
Fixed monthly fees are available for agreed ongoing work. One-off work and payment terms are set out separately. Compare the annual total as well as the monthly amount, and check the periods covered when you join partway through a year.
Is getting a quote free?
Yes. There is no obligation to proceed. Tell us your business structure, platforms, monthly order volume, VAT status and the work required. We aim to respond within 48 hours; we may need further records to confirm the scope and final fee.
