 We get it, no one likes surprises when it comes to fees.  

 
That's why we keep things simple with our no-nonsense fixed-fee packages. It's like ordering from a menu - you pick what you need, and we give you a fixed price. Easy! 
 
But seriously, we understand that cash flow is important, especially for small businesses. That's why we let you spread the cost throughout the year. And, with our unlimited email and phone access to your dedicated accountant, you can ask all the questions you want without worrying about getting a surprise bill. 
 
We've got some sample packages below, but keep in mind, the actual fees will depend on your unique business situation. Things like VAT status, industry, and how much bookkeeping you need will play a role. But hey, we get it - no two businesses are the same. So, at Effective Accounting, we're all about tailoring our support to perfectly fit your one-of-a-kind needs!

FAQ's 

We get it, questions can pop up anytime, and there's no such thing as a silly one. So, we've put together some of our most frequent questions to help you out. 
 
Well, no one's twisting your arm, but it's a smart move. We can of course advise you on your accounts and tax for your current situation, but we love looking to the future with you and making sure your business will support you to achieve your dreams. 
Nope, it's a breeze! We'll guide you through the process, making it as smooth and painless as possible. 
It depends! Every client is different and we tailor our services to suit the client and their business. BUt we have provided a few examples and typical packages - see above! 
Just click here to book in a chat with Nicola. You'll talk about your current situation, future plans, and some pesky paperwork (don’t worry, it doesn’t take too long). Then, you'll meet your Client Manager, who'll be your main point of contact for you and take care of your accounts like a champ! 
Absolutely. After you’ve spoken with Nicola, she'll introduce you to your dedicated Client Manager – your new BFF in the accounting world. 
If we don't float your boat or live up to your expectations, our contracts have a one-calendar-month notice period. We're not into clingy relationships! But we think you'll stay for the long-haul! 
Nope. Our clients are spread across the UK - although we’d love to meet you if you’re ever in the area! Just shoot us an email or give us a call when you need us. 
No, but your should! Our qualifications prove that we know our stuff and can give you top-notch advice. Going with an unqualified accountant is like hiring a cat to walk your dog – it's just not going to end well for anyone involved. 
Nah, we're not about that life. We work with pre-agreed fixed fees, so no surprise bills will jump out at you. And with our packages, you get unlimited access to your Client Manager, so you don’t need to worry about being charged extra for calling with questions or emailing for advice!
