A fixed fee quoted before anyone has done the work is a guess. We would rather measure it.
For the first three months we run your bookkeeping and bill the routine work for the time it actually takes, at our standard hourly rate. Known risk-based work such as payroll and BAS keeps its normal pricing from the first week.
At the end of month three we review what the work genuinely took and set a fixed monthly fee that reflects it. No renegotiation six months in because the original quote was optimistic. No padding because we were guessing.
This is the full service from week one. The three months set the price, not the commitment.
We talk through the business, how it runs, where the books are now and what you need from a bookkeeping relationship. No cost and no obligation.
You receive the full operational scope in writing, the three service levels, what is one-off, what is annual and what is not included. Everything quoted before anything starts.
The file is reviewed, access is set up, workflows are built and the baseline is made clean. Quoted as a one-off, separate from your monthly service.
Three months of full service, with routine bookkeeping billed for actual time. We learn your file properly and you see exactly what the work involves.
We review the real workload with you and convert to a fixed monthly Essential, Guided or Partner service. From here your fee is predictable.
We quote from a structured assessment of your business rather than a rate card, because two businesses with the same turnover can take very different amounts of work. These are the things we measure.
One-off onboarding and any Phase 1 remediation. Workflow implementation where payroll, payables, receivables or job costing needs building. Annual work including STP finalisation, taxable payments annual reporting and your end of financial year accountant pack. Anything outside agreed scope, which is always quoted before it starts.
