Small business accountant costs in the UK usually run from under £100 a month for a simple company to several hundred where VAT, payroll and bookkeeping are included. Our published packages are £45.83, £62.50 and £75.00 (lowest turnover band) plus VAT monthly.
Legal structure, turnover, transaction volume, whether you are VAT registered, payroll headcount, how much bookkeeping we do rather than you, reporting frequency, and the state of the records when we take over. Clean records genuinely cost less.
The entry package suits a straightforward limited company with light transaction volume. The middle tier adds VAT and payroll. The top tier suits busier businesses needing bookkeeping and more frequent reporting. Every quote confirms exactly what is inside before you commit.
Technical written advice, tax planning projects, HMRC enquiries, specialist claims such as research and development, catch-up work on historic years and company restructures are quoted individually so ordinary monthly fees stay predictable.
A very low headline fee often excludes bookkeeping, VAT, payroll or the director's tax return, and charges for phone calls. Compare inclusions and exclusions rather than the monthly figure alone.
Rates, thresholds and deadlines quoted here reflect the current UK position and current HMRC and Companies House guidance. Check GOV.UK, or ask us, before relying on them for your own business.

“Accotax have been our accountants for many years now. We maintained them because of their professionalism. In the last couple of years I have been working with Imran, who has been very professional and helpful in guiding us through the whole process, explaining and clarifying every aspect of it. Very prompt in responding to questions and patient with us even when we seem to be slow.”
“We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we're really glad we did. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing, professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. Accotax has made our accounting experience much smoother and easier. We see them as a long-term partner as our business continues to grow. I would 100% recommend them.”
“I've been working with Accotax since January 2024, and their support has grown alongside my business needs. My personal allocated manager, Umer, provides tailored services for both of my companies, adapting as I expand and ensuring everything runs smoothly. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and always clear in their communication. Their help with accounts, VAT, payrolls, pensions and compliance gives me real confidence and peace of mind.”
