OUR CHARGES A revised scale of charges has been introduced to encourage clients to have their books collected much earlier in the year. This worked to some extent for 2007, 2008 and 2009. This does not necessarily mean that your accounts or tax return will be completed earlier but what it does mean is that I am able to spread the work load over the year more evenly instead of having a last minute rush and having to work very long hours in the months of December and January. It also helps to keep our fees down. The higher fees from November onwards reflects the cost of extra help to complete the work on time. They will only be charged if I am not able to complete the work without paying temporary staff for assistance.
£5 per hour discount is deducted for settlement upon receipt of invoice. If I am able to complete the work myself after 31/10/2010 the fee will still be £45 per hour with £5 discount for settlement upon receipt of invoice. If the job is brought in after 31/12/2010 I shall not be liable if I fail to meet the 31/01/2011 deadline unless you opt to pay the higher fee to enable me to take on temporary help. I also undertake work on a fixed fee for one year basis. This means that you know what you will pay before work commences dependent upon when the job comes in irrespective of the time spent on the job. The fees quoted assume that you are writing up your books using Excel. EXAMPLES OF FEES CHARGED TO CLIENTS Bronze service - Subcontractor or Taxi Driver supplying summary of income and expenses - £120.00 Silver service - Subcontractor or Taxi Driver supplying details of income and expense vouchers - £180.00 to £240.00 Gold service - Subcontractor or Taxi Driver supplying details of income and expense vouchers plus bank statements and cheque stubs - £320.00 to £420.00 depending on the number of transactions.
