Why the same service can cost £150 or £600 a month
Two e-commerce businesses with the same revenue can quote out to wildly different fees. The factors below are the ones we weigh when preparing your fixed quote.
Number of sales channels
A single Shopify store costs less to keep books for than the same revenue split across Amazon, eBay, Etsy and a direct site. Each channel adds its own fee structure, payout schedule and reconciliation work.
Transaction volume
Most monthly bookkeeping fees scale with the number of transactions, not revenue. A £200k business doing 200 orders a month costs less to bookkeep than a £200k business doing 2,000 small orders.
International obligations
UK-only operations sit at the bottom of the range. EU VAT OSS, Amazon Pan-European stock, and US state nexus each add specialist work — and fees rise with each jurisdiction added.
Inventory complexity
Single-location, single-product sellers are straightforward. Multi-location FBA stock with landed costs, currency conversion and write-offs takes longer to maintain accurately.
Accounting software setup
Businesses already on Xero or QuickBooks with A2X / Link My Books configured pay less for ongoing work than those needing a from-scratch software setup and historical clean-up.
Year-end vs ongoing service
Annual-only services (tax return, year-end accounts) cost less in total but mean reconciliation work piles up. Monthly retainers cost more but spread the work and the cost.
From £125/month for combined service
We work on fixed monthly fees so you can budget with confidence. Payment terms are agreed with you before any work starts. Most owner-operated e-commerce businesses on a monthly retainer pay £195–£775 covering bookkeeping, VAT and year-end accounts in a single predictable fee.
