Fixed Fee Accountants

Fixed Fee Accountants for Hampshire Businesses

Styles & Associates is an Alton-based accountancy firm offering fixed, agreed-in-advance fees for bookkeeping, payroll, tax and accounts work. You know exactly what you'll pay each month, with no surprise year-end bill, no hourly-rate clock running, and no charge for a quick phone call to your dedicated accountant.

What is fixed fee accounting?

Fixed fee accounting means you pay one agreed amount - monthly or annually - for a defined scope of accountancy work, instead of being billed by the hour or hit with a large bill once a year. The fee is set before work starts, based on your business size, structure and the services you need, and it doesn't change unless your business does.

What's included in a fixed fee?

Depending on the package we agree, a fixed fee can cover:

​

  • Bookkeeping - day-to-day transaction recording and reconciliation

  • Payroll - processing wages, payslips and HMRC submissions

  • VAT returns - preparation and MTD-compliant filing

  • Self Assessment - personal tax returns for directors, sole traders and landlords

  • Corporation Tax - company tax return (CT600) preparation and filing

  • Statutory accounts - annual accounts and Companies House filing

  • Management accounts - regular financial reporting to help you run the business

  • Company secretarial work - Companies House filings and compliance

 

You choose the combination that fits your business.

How is my fixed fee worked out?

We base your quote on:

  • Legal structure - sole trader, partnership or limited company

  • Business size and turnover

  • Number of employees (for payroll)

  • Which services you need

 

We agree the fee with you before any work begins, so there are no surprises

Why choose fixed fees over hourly billing?

  • Predictable budgeting - the same amount each month, easy to forecast

  • No disincentive to call us - you can ask questions without worrying about a ticking clock

  • No year-end surprise - the fee is fixed regardless of how long the work actually takes

  • Easier to compare - you know upfront what you're paying for, rather than an open-ended hourly estimate
