What Factors Impact Pricing?
Our pricing is designed to be flexible because every business is unique. Things like your business size, growth stage, and current systems all influence the cost. After diving into the details of your business, we’ll provide a tailored, fixed-fee quote that fits your specific needs. Here are the key factors that influence our pricing:
Size of Your Business
While revenue matters, it’s not the main driver. The complexity of your business – like the number of sales channels, payment gateways, transaction volume, and the size of your inventory system—has a much bigger influence on pricing.
Systems & Processes
The more efficient your systems, the less work there is to do! If your online store is integrated with Xero and your inventory system runs smoothly, you’ll enjoy a lower fee. But if you’re relying on spreadsheets and lack an inventory system, the extra manual work involved will lead to a higher fee.
Level of Support
The more support your business needs, the higher the fee. If you’re after strategic guidance, expedited reporting, or more complex advisory services due to growth, your pricing will reflect that. Businesses with stable operations needing less frequent help will have a lower fee.
Annual Tax.
We’ve designed our tax preparation process to be as efficient and hassle-free as possible, so you can focus on growing your business. By leveraging systems and streamlined processes, we keep costs down while ensuring accuracy and compliance.
Here’s how our fixed-fee tax services work:
Annual Review – Each year, we’ll assess your Xero file to determine what’s required.
Effortless Preparation – We’ll collect the necessary information and handle your tax return with minimal disruption to you.
Financial Review – Once your tax is complete, we’ll meet to walk you through your financials and returns.
Final Wrap-Up – We’ll finalise everything and issue the agreed-upon invoice—no hidden fees, no surprises.
With our straightforward approach, tax season becomes just another task checked off your list.
Advisory.
Every business is unique, and so are its advisory needs. Our advisory services are designed to provide tailored guidance when you need it most, whether it’s strategic planning, cash flow forecasting, business structuring, or growth strategies.
Here’s how our advisory services work:
Understanding Your Needs – We’ll discuss your business goals and challenges to determine the right level of support.
Flexible, Ad-Hoc Pricing – Advisory services are charged based on your specific needs – just solutions tailored to you.
Expert Guidance – From financial insights to business strategy, we provide the expertise to help you move forward with confidence.
Clear Communication – We’ll outline the scope of work and costs before starting, ensuring complete transparency.
Our goal is to provide practical, results-driven advice that aligns with your business needs—without unnecessary complexity or unexpected costs.
