You know the cost before we start
No hidden costs, no surprises: an offer before we begin, clear billing models, and a free initial consultation.
Money should be talked about. We go first.
Fiduciary work is a matter of trust, and trust starts with the price: before any engagement you receive an offer that names services and costs clearly. We only start once you agree.
Extra effort is discussed before it arises — not on the invoice. And the first conversation costs you nothing, as a matter of principle.
Three models, clearly separated
Flat fee
For recurring work such as bookkeeping, payroll or the tax return: a fixed price per month or year — budgetable and without small print.
By effort
For advisory and special cases: a transparent hourly rate with an estimate up front. You can always see what the time was spent on.
Project price
For defined undertakings such as year-end closing, audit preparation or a policy check: defined scope, defined price.

Four honest factors
Document volume
More postings mean more work — the flat fee grows with your business, not ahead of it.
Complexity
VAT method, foreign currencies, property, multiple entities — complexity costs time, and we say so in advance.
Quality of the documents
Cleanly delivered documents noticeably reduce the effort — we're happy to show you the easiest way.
Frequency
Monthly, quarterly or yearly: effort and price differ depending on the rhythm.
We quote the concrete price for your situation after the free initial consultation — binding and in writing.
Four steps to Planet
Consultation & offer
We listen, review the starting position and quote. You decide at your own pace.
Power of attorney & handover
You send us your documents and open items — we take them over in a structured way; you don't have to forward anything.
Clean intake
Opening balances, open items, deadline calendar: we take over your file in a structured way and report what's missing.
Ongoing operation
A fixed contact person, proactive deadline reminders, and a fiduciary who explains instead of just administering.
Switching is possible mid-year too — we coordinate the handover without a single deadline being lost.
