What is a finance hire really costing you?
Drag the slider to a salary. We will show the true year-one cost once you add employer NI, pension and recruitment, next to the equivalent from AI Accounts.
A full-time hire, year one
The same work, from AI Accounts
Most accountants will not put a price on their website. You have to book a call, sit through a pitch and wait for a quote. I always thought that was a bit backwards. You have a business to run, and you should be able to see roughly what something costs before you give up an hour of your day.
So here it is, in plain numbers. They are starting points, because a ten-person company and a fifty-person one do not need the same thing. But you can see where we begin, and whether we are in your range, before we ever speak.
If you want the exact figure for your business, that is what the intro call is for. No pitch, no pressure, just a straight answer.

Every price is a starting point. We scope the fee to the size and complexity of your finance function, then fix it monthly. A larger or more complex business pays more than the “from” figure, and we agree that clearly up front, with no surprise bills.
Because the cheapest option is usually a single person or sole-trader-rate bookkeeping, and neither runs a finance function. Our fees buy a team, proper reporting and senior input, for less than the loaded cost of the equivalent hire.
