Services and fees

Know what is included before the work begins.

Every proposal defines the deliverables, timetable, your responsibilities, exclusions, software and fixed fee. Prices are confirmed after the records and workload have been reviewed.

Deliverables and boundaries

Catch-up bookkeeping

A defined project to bring overdue records to an agreed point, surface missing evidence and create a workable handover into regular bookkeeping.

Typical timingA diagnostic review is completed first. The catch-up period and milestones are then set around the volume and condition of the records.

Deliverables and boundaries

Fees without a misleading headline

A fixed proposal after the real workload is understood.

Transaction volume, record condition, number of accounts, deadlines, payroll, VAT and reporting all affect the work. EBA reviews these first, then issues a fixed scope and fee.

Preparation, submission, advice and third-party support are not treated as interchangeable. Your proposal states which apply.

EBA does not currently offer construction or CIS bookkeeping, audit, regulated investment advice or unscoped specialist tax advice.
