Your fee is fixed and quoted in writing before we start. It's set by three things:
- Transactions: how many bank and card transactions, bills and invoices you have each month.
- Employees: how many people are on payroll and how often you run it.
- Accounts and filings: how many bank accounts, locations or rental units, and which GET and TAT filings you need.
Behind on your books? A one-time catch-up is quoted separately before monthly service begins.
