How we work

PricinG

How we price, and why it works this way.

 A fixed fee quoted before anyone has done the work is a guess. We would rather measure it. 

Months one to three

Every engagement opens with a structured foundation period

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.

01 Discovery Call

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. 

02 Proposal

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. 

03 Onboarding and Phase 1

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. 

04 Foundation period

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. 

05 The three month review

We review the real workload with you and convert to a fixed monthly Essential, Guided or Partner service. From here your fee is predictable. 

Your fee

What actually sets the number

 

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.

  • Transaction volume and bank feeds. How many lines move through the business each month, how many accounts and cards are active, and whether the feeds are reliable.
  • File condition and delegation. What state the file is in when we take it on, and how much of the recurring work can be delegated to our team rather than needing a BAS Agent.
  • Payroll. Whether you run it, how many employees, and how often you pay them.
  • Payables and receivables. Whether suppliers and debtors are managed by us, at what volume, and how often payments run.
  • Job costing. Whether jobs are costed, and how much of that is manual work outside Xero.
  • Entity and reporting cycle. Your structure, your GST reporting cycle, and whether instalments apply.
  • The level you choose. Essential, Guided or Partner.

Outside the monthly fee

 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.
