Pricing you can plan around.
Published ranges, local currencies, and a written quote within 24 hours. The plans on this page are for businesses buying their own finance function — accounting firms reselling under their own brand price against the white-label rate card instead.
Which of these is you?
You are an accounting firm
You are buying delivery capacity to resell under your own brand. That is priced per file against a published rate card, not on these retainer tiers.
You are a business
You are buying your own finance function — bookkeeping, payroll, AP/AR and CFO support. The plans below are yours.
Every price, in your currency.
Beside each tier is what a local firm charges for the same work. We publish both, because the comparison is the argument.

Larger books
Above 1,000 transactions a month — quoted in 24 hours.
Above this volume the entity count and the state of the ledger drive the price more than the transaction count does, so publishing one figure would be guessing at yours.

Rush turnaround
Added when you need turnaround under 48 hours during peak season. Standard turnaround is 48–72 hours and carries no uplift — the surcharge is the exception, and it is agreed in writing before the work starts, never applied to an invoice after the fact.
