Pricing · fixed, in writing

What it costs. Honestly.

Four shapes. Four prices. Each one is fixed in writing before we start, and includes unlimited calls and emails. There is no timesheet, no surprise quarterly invoice, and no Enterprise tier where the price is hidden behind a contact form.

  • Fee in writing before any work begins
  • Unlimited calls and emails, no surcharge
  • 30 days' notice to leave, no exit fee
Step one

The questions we get asked

Five we've heard, five we'll answer.

If yours is not here, ring us. We answer in four rings on weekdays and write back the same day on emails.

01 Why fixed fees, not hourly?
Hourly billing punishes you for asking questions and rewards us for being slow. Fixed fees mean you can call us as much as you like, and we have an incentive to be efficient. Better deal for everyone.
02 What does "unlimited support" actually mean?
Call, email, message, or drop in. No fair-use policy, no hidden cap, no per-question fee. The only thing we charge separately for is one-off projects (R&D claim, share scheme, HMRC investigation) and we always quote those in writing first.
03 Are bookkeeping and payroll included?
Bookkeeping is included up to a transaction-volume threshold (varies by tier). Above that we quote on real volume, not a guess. Payroll is included up to five employees in Small Business; extras are £3 to £5 each per run.
04 Is there a contract?
A simple engagement letter setting out services and fees. No minimum term. Thirty days' notice to leave. We'd rather earn your renewal each year than lock you in.
05 What if I outgrow my tier mid-year?
We move you up to the next tier from the month it makes sense, prorated. No exit fee, no "we'll bill you for the year". You also won't be quietly billed up without us flagging it first.
