Start here

If you are not sure what you need, start with the audit. It tells you what is costing you time and money, and what to fix first.

Finance Systems Audit £1,995 fixed How your finance work gets done, the spreadsheets the business depends on, software you pay for and do not use, and whether your accounting system still fits. Written report with the fixes in order, plus a recorded walkthrough.

Systems and dashboards

What is not included

Statutory audits: I am not a registered auditor, so if your company needs an audit you will need an audit firm, and I will prepare everything they ask for. Anything not listed above is quoted separately, in writing, before any work starts.

Common questions about price

Do your prices include VAT?

No. Prices are shown excluding VAT.

Is there a setup fee?

No. Getting connected to your bank and accounting system is part of the monthly fee.

Is there a minimum contract?

No. Monthly work is month to month. Clean-ups, audits and builds are one-off fixed prices.

Why publish prices at all?

Because you should know what something costs before you get in touch. Every price is agreed in writing before I start, and if your situation is more complex than the standard scope, I tell you in writing first.

What if I am not happy after the first month?

The First-Month Promise: if your first month of monthly work does not give you at least one thing you can act on, I refund that month in full.
