Why the same service can cost £225 or £575 a month
Two Harrow businesses with the same revenue can quote out to wildly different fees. The factors below are the ones bookkeepers in our network consistently weigh when quoting.
Transaction volume
Most monthly bookkeeping fees scale with the number of transactions, not revenue. A retail business doing 800 till transactions a week costs more to bookkeep than a service business invoicing 30 clients a month at the same revenue.
Number of bank accounts and payment platforms
A single business bank account is straightforward. Add a second business account, a credit card, PayPal, Stripe, and a delivery-platform clearing account and the reconciliation work multiplies. Each new feed needs to be set up and matched monthly.
Sector complexity
Property landlords need per-property allocation and Section 24 modelling. Healthcare practices need partial-exemption tracking. Construction trades need CIS verification and monthly returns. Restaurants need delivery-platform reconciliation. Generic chart-of-accounts setups don't serve any of these well.
Existing accounting software setup
Businesses already on Xero or QuickBooks with bank feeds configured pay less for ongoing work than those needing a from-scratch software setup, historical data import, and staff training.
Year-end vs ongoing service
Annual-only services (year-end accounts, single tax return) cost less in total but mean reconciliation work piles up. Monthly retainers cost more but spread the work and the cost, and catch problems before they compound.
MTD compliance status
A business already on MTD-compliant software with digital records pays less than one still on paper or spreadsheets that needs a structured migration before quarterly reporting begins.
From £125/month for combined service
Most bookkeepers in our network offer fixed monthly retainers so you can budget with confidence. Payment terms and any one-off setup fee plans are agreed directly with your matched bookkeeper. Most owner-operated Harrow businesses on a monthly retainer pay £225–£575 covering bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, and VAT preparation in a single predictable fee.
